Cassian Harrison, channel editor at BBC4, said: “I’m delighted that slow television has struck such a chord with BBC4 viewers. This programme promises to be another very special treat; an opportunity to sit back and appreciate the sights and sounds of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales in a rich and absorbing antidote to the frenetic pace of modern life.”

The slow TV phenomenon was started by Norwegian pubcaster NRK with a voyage around the countries fjords.
