Bill Bailey’s Australian Adventure
Channel 4, 9pm
Think of Australia and it’s easy to fall into the stereotype of dangerous wildlife, Bondi Beach or Ant and Dec poking fun at celebrities in the jungle. But while the east coast is probably more familiar to most, Bill Bailey heads in the opposite direction to explore Oz’s biggest state, Western Australia. He begins on the southern coast with its Mediterranean climate and dense forests. Look out for a replica of Stonehenge!
