Jane McDonald: Pole to Pole is the singer/travel presenter's most ambitious journey yet! Following in the footsteps of Michael Palin’s Pole to Pole, which saw the actor undertake a 23,000-mile TV journey on BBC1 from the North Pole to the South Pole in the early 90s, Jane McDonald is taking on an extraordinary expedition from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle for her new Channel 5 series.
Across six episodes the cruise ship crooner-turned-travel presenter crosses continents, oceans and time zones to give a unique look at some of the world’s most spectacular travel destinations. Hopefully we can expect a song or two as well — surely from the musical Frozen?
