The Bald Explorer charts the intrepid voyages of comedian and amateur historian Richard Vobes as he tours the country and explores ‘the myths, legends and folklore in a place near you.’

“I want to combine my interests of humour, history and travel together and produce something fun and interesting at the same time,” commented Richard, of the new online series.

It is due to begin later this month, but a teaser video of Mr Vobes touring the English countryside in an Eriba Puck is available to view now.

In his blog – www.vobes.com/blog – Richard gives an amusing description about the trials of filming on location: “I am sure the walkers and other motorists I encountered this morning thought I was a fruit cake, but these little extra shots all have to be done to make a production look ‘normal’.”

If the video production is anything to go by, this looks to be a great little mini-series to keep your eye on, and perfect for a rainy afternoon’s viewing in the caravan!
