Rob Brydon's Honky Tonk Road Trip | Preview (BBC Two)

Actor, comedian and lifelong music fan Rob Brydon travels through the southern states of America to mark the centenary of country music. He’s on a mission to uncover the history of the genre - where it began, how it evolved, and why it’s experiencing a major resurgence, especially in the UK.

Rob heads to the beating heart of country music: Nashville. He explores iconic venues like the Ryman Auditorium, goes live on-air at WSM Radio - home of the Grand Ole Opry, the world’s longest-running radio show - and meets country stars old and new, including Luke Combs, Marty Stuart, Bill Anderson and rising British talent Twinnie.

Speaking about the new series, Brydon commented: "I’ve always loved country music but never really delved too deeply into it. The current resurgence means it’s the perfect time to head over to Nashville and find out more. I can’t wait to immerse myself in this fascinating world of music."

Rob Brydon's Honky Tonk Road Trip begins Sunday 5th October on BBC Two.
