Robson's Extreme Fishing Challenge

Robson Green: Extreme Fisherman
With the series moving from channel 5 to Quest, the title was changed to reflect that he is now one of the world's most experienced fishermen, rather than the mere amateur he was before.[2] The series will be based on the same premise as its predecessors, and is produced by the same team.[3] As-yet confirmed locations visited in the upcoming series are Borneo, Mongolia, Japan and the Solomon Islands [4]
DVD releases
The series is distributed on DVD by Acorn Media UK. Series 1, 2 and 3 are available.
