Gino D’Acampo and Fred Sirieix take on the Big ‘G’ in a new series produced by Betty TV.
ITV note of the format ‘Globetrotters Gino and Fred are packing their bags for an epic new adventure, but this time they may have bitten off more than they can chew as they attempt to go green’.
Fred has become more eco-conscious as a result of his children, and his concerns were heightened by watching his beloved Europe burn this summer in temperatures of 40 degrees. Gino, however, may need more convincing.
Can they green up their act and become fully petro-flexible modern men, while still enjoying la dolce vita on a rip-roaring food odyssey?
The duo will visit Austria, whose capital was ranked as the greenest city in the world in 2020, but which is suffering from melting glaciers and Croatian islands that are at risk of rising sea levels, all the while tracking down sustainable produce and immersing themselves in environmentally-friendly lifestyles, that we could all learn from.
Gino and Fred said:
“We’re thrilled to be upcycled by ITV for another action-packed adventure and can’t wait to cook up some fantastic sustainable dishes whilst hopefully stirring up debate around these important issues. We might not come up with the recipe to save the planet but we hope to entertain, inform and inspire the audience to think about making changes in their own lives.”
Gino and Fred’s Emission Impossible was commissioned for ITV by Nicola Lloyd, Factual Commissioning Editor and Sue Murphy, Head of Factual Entertainment.
