Perfect Pub Walks

Alexander Armstrong sets out on some of the UK's most spectacular pub walks, joined by some of our best-loved national treasures. In this first episode, Xander takes broadcaster James May on three spectacular pub walks in Yorkshire.

James discusses memories from his childhood, getting repeatedly fired from jobs as a young man, his eventful Top Gear days and, under a tree in the grounds of Bolton Abbey, opens up about ageing and retirement

This time, Alexander Armstrong takes TV presenter and climate campaigner Chris Packham on an exciting excursion in Kent, where they hunt for lost treasure, encounter Spitfires and a boat graveyard, explore battlefields, castles and the rich natural environment, and uncover historical secrets. As their journey through Kent unfolds, Chris reveals the extraordinary story of his life and talks openly about some of his struggles and difficulties, while Xander speaks movingly about his own experiences with his son's autism.
