It was only recently we spoke to British TV-legend Martin Clunes, but it was a chat we enjoyed so much, we thought we’d go back in for more. Moving away from narrative fiction, we now speak to him about the other side of his career – the documentary work, where on this occasion, he’s travelling across the Islands of the Atlantic for his three-part series for ITV.
We speak to him in great detail, in what is an extended interview with the BAFTA-winning actor, about his experiences, the food he ate, the people he met, and the things he missed back home. He also looks across his career and it’s different facets, while of course, and this goes without saying, we also speak about his dogs.
Watch the full interview with Martin Clunes here:
Synopsis
Between the North Pole and the South, our Earth is tearing itself apart. For millennia, from a 10,000 mile gash in the ocean floor, molten rock has poured to the surface creating new lands, new islands, scattered across 31 million square miles of ocean. Mathematically, the Pacific may be bigger, but nothing can touch the Atlantic for its epic scale or its furious wild beauty. Without its beating heart, pumping warmth out of the tropics, the planet would freeze. And even today – with our satellites and our know-how – its immensity ensures that any exploration of this unique environment represents a huge challenge for the traveller. Uniquely, the Atlantic’s islands are an extraordinary mix of fire and ice….and Martin’s journey will explore the diverse landscapes of these two elemental forces.
Martin Clunes: Islands of the Atlantic begins on Friday 2nd May at 9pm on ITV1
