New A League of Their Own Road trip series also now filming; A League of Their Own Christmas Special to premiere December 17
Sky in the UK has ordered a new season of hit entertainment show Rob & Romesh Vs, produced by CPL Productions.
Currently filming in locations around the UK for a 2021 premiere, the third series once again sees Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan dip their toe into the unknown.
In Season 3 their close friendship will be put to the test as Rob tries to convince Romesh to share his love for golf, and the guys delve into the world of tennis, drag performing and art. Along the way, they will once again be joined by experts to guide and introduce them to their vocations and the boys will share their unique views with the likes of Alan Carr, Andy Murray, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose and Michelle Visage.
Also currently now filming across the UK and returning next year, is the next instalment in the A League of Their Own Road trip series, featuring Jamie Redknapp, Freddie Flintoff and Romesh Ranganathan, and also produced by CPL Productions.
In A League of Their Own Road trip: Loch Ness to London, the trio will be joined by stars from the world of sport and entertainment and there will be a very special guest appearance from Jack Whitehall.
Challenges include outdoor survival skills with the SAS, gourmet cooking with a top celebrity chef and traditional Scottish Highland Games hosted by one of the UK’s most celebrated sports stars.
Jamie, Freddie and Romesh have also been getting into the Christmas spirit in recent weeks as they filmed the A League of Their Own: Christmas Party 2020 at Englefield House in Berkshire. This festive edition of the show, premiering on Sky on December 17, will see them take a look back at old clips from the show and be joined by James Corden who’ll be dialling in from across the pond. Viewers are also in for a real treat as ‘H’ from Steps guides the guys through putting together a truly unique version of Feliz Navidad.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Director, Sky Arts and Head of Entertainment said: “If ever we needed a laugh, it’s right now, and as 2020 fades away we are delighted that the brilliant teams who make ALOTO Road trip and Rob & Romesh vs are able to safely traverse the length and breadth of Britain to bring us these comedy gems. 2020 can do one, bring on 2021.”
Murray Boland, Executive Producer for CPL said: “There’s a fantastic family of talent on these shows both in front of and behind the screens. We laugh as much making them as we hope audiences will watching them.”
