He fully immerses himself in jungle life, living with ancient tribespeople and encountering elusive animals.<\/p>\n<p>The docuseries is expected to air on Channel 5 in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Congo was one of the most memorable expeditions I have ever been on,\u201d Fogle said. \u201cIt surprised me, it moved me, and it inspired me. I have wanted to explore the Congo since I was a child, when I first read about the mighty Congo river, so the trip was a lifelong ambition that was more than I could have imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Federico Ruiz, commissioning editor for unscripted at Channel 5 and Paramount+, added, \u201cIt was tough finding somewhere new and exciting for Ben to visit with an adventurer CV like his. In the Congo, you\u2019ve got danger and natural wonder in equal measure, and the result is extraordinary. He gives Indiana Jones a run for his money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Brogden and Tayte Simpson, executive producers at Mentorn Media, commented, \u201cProducing this series was an extraordinary experience, showing the breadth of the Congo\u2019s culture and natural beauty. Ben spent time with one of the world\u2019s most extreme tribes, one that has never let cameras in before. The filming proved to be profound and magical.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 5 has ordered the three-part docuseries Into the Congo with Ben Fogle (w.t.) from Mentorn Media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":20015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[969,915,6652,6196,8080,2542,8081],"class_list":["post-20014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ben-fogle","tag-channel-5","tag-chris-brogden","tag-federico-ruiz","tag-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle","tag-mentorn-media","tag-tayte-simpson","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Channel 5 Orders Into the Congo with Ben Fogle - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Channel 5 Orders Into the Congo with Ben Fogle - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 5 has ordered the three-part docuseries Into the Congo with Ben Fogle (w.t.) from Mentorn Media.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-08-21T15:02:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Channel5-IntotheCongowithBenFogle-0823.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"401\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/\",\"name\":\"Channel 5 Orders Into the Congo with Ben Fogle - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-08-21T15:02:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-21T15:02:42+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-into-the-congo-with-ben-fogle\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Channel 5 Orders Into the Congo with Ben Fogle\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
