Where Beckett and Ranganatan went next...
Details of series 8 of Rob & Romesh Vs revealed
Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan head to Mumbai, New York, Sumatra and the Swiss Alps in the next series of Rob & Romesh Vs.
Full details of the comedians’ adventures have been revealed as Sky confirms that the programme will return for its eighth season on December 9.
In the first episode, they head to India with the aim of breaking into Bollywood, where they will get help from stars Ali Fazal and Anupam Kher.
Then, in New York, the pair take on Ranganathan’s first love, hip hop, where they meet one of his heroes – the Wu Tang Clan’s Raekwon – to see if the comic can cut it in a freestyle cypher.
They will also head to the Sumatran jungle to find out if they can snap an image worthy of entry into the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Back in London, the pair are going Elizabethan as they prepare to perform in Romeo & Juliet at the Globe theatre with the help of artistic director, Michelle Terry and actors Jessie Buckley and Martin Freeman.
The series will come to a conclusion with a two-part special in 2026 as they join Team GB, ahead of the Winter Olympics. With the help of former legends Eddie the Eagle and Eve Muirhead, as well as 2026 hopefuls, Mia Brookes and Team Mouat, they take on bobsled, biathlon, skiing and curling in a journey that takes them from St Moritz in Switzerland to the World Curling Championships in Fredericton, Canada.
