WORLDS APART: NEW REALITY ADVENTURE SERIES PROVES A HIT FOR CHANNEL 4

Channel 4's new reality adventure series Worlds Apart is proving a hit for the broadcaster, with the launch episode outperforming Channel 4's slot average for both 16-24s and over 65s, with share up 38% and 18% respectively).

The opening episode has consolidated to 1.3 million viewers and is Channel 4's biggest 9pm reality debut since April 2023. On streaming, the show has already achieved over 30 million minutes viewed since launch.

In a world where travel has become more about taking photos for social media than truly taking it all in, this five part series challenges teammates to see the world differently, as their surroundings hold all the clues. The pairs will solve clues that take them across Japan.

Their inter-generational relationship holds the key to victory as the journey requires teamwork, adaptability, and perception. Travelling across the abundant Asian archipelago, they’ll have to use every resource at their disposal to stay in the game.

Will the youngsters manage to build a relationship with their pensioner partners as they tackle cultural challenges, decode cryptic clues and answer location based questions together? At every stage of the journey the stakes get higher as the teams are eliminated one by one until just two pairs remain. Those two will reach the final location and compete to win a life-changing cash prize of £50,000.

Channel 4 achieved its highest ever single day of streaming on 7th October, resetting a record that it had passed just a week earlier, with other titles including Married at First Sight UK, The Great British Bake Off, 24 Hours in Police Custody and Hollyoaks bringing 7.7 million views.
