and its celebrity version – one of the highest-profile early casualties of the pandemic-inducted production pause – back into filming “as soon as possible” despite Omicron fears.
A BBC spokeswoman said: “The hope is for both series to return as soon as possible. Because of the nature of the non-celebrity version, which requires a lengthier casting process, we’re delighted that we’re able to start the search for our next set of intrepid travellers for series three.” One of BBC2’s most popular shows of the past few years, the celebrity version was on the brink of entering production in March 2020 before becoming a high-profile early casualty of the Covid-19 pandemic when it wastwo weeks prior to the UK lockdown. Virtually all major scripted and non-scripted shows were to follow suit over the next few weeks.
