Early in January, your clients can watch celebrated chef Rick Stein take a trip down memory lane, retracing his steps as a teenage backpacker in Australia.  Airing from January 6 on BBC One and iPlayer, the six-part series will follow Stein as he embarks on a 5,000km road trip through six diverse regions of New South Wales.

Speaking to TTG at Australia House in London at a special event to launch the series, Stein said it had been an emotional filming experience – he was just 17 when his father, who had bipolar disorder, ended his life, and not long after, Rick took himself to Australia.
