Revealed by British Comedy Guide, Armstrong will front the second series of the show for More4. The series sees Armstrong set out on some of the best and most spectacular pub walks the country has to offer, taking in the surroundings of Yorkshire, Kent, Monmouthshire and Shropshire.

In each of the four episodes Bill is accompanied by a different guest - including Chris Packham, James May, Lenny Henry and Chris McCausland - and together they share wide-ranging, funny and sometimes very personal conversations, on their way to a variety of historic pubs.

Covering everything from nature and history to music, food and art, their talks will also delve into memories, challenges and difficult life experiences, broaching subjects that men are sometimes reluctant to open up about.

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
