An absolute gem!

Ben Fogle's New Lives In The Wild is a superb show - sensitively put together, combining brilliantly an empathy for the people who have decided, for whatever reason, to live differently, together with a genuine care for the environment and ecology. It's an inspiration!

And who better to bring each story to life than Ben Fogle, who shows a true yet judgement free interest and understanding of the lives he's living and breathing for that week.

What an articulate, respectful, willing, thoughtful man - a true gentleman of this world.

Please keep making this show! It teaches us all so much and shows us that there are so many rich and colourful ways of being!

My favourite show

Best show on TV hands down. Watch it Ben is the nicest bloke and I am so jealous I can't live like some of these people ......on my own with my dogs away from all society and humans. I like to lose myself in their World with Ben.

Inspiring life stories

Such an inspirational show for anyone interested in escaping the shackles of 9-5 life. The focus person(s) in each episode are always so individual, intriguing and down to earth. Ben Fogle is a wonderful presenter who asks just the right amount of personal questions to begin to understand the reasons and consequences of the major life changes the hosts have been through, without prying too deeply and without judgement. I always feel so calm and moved with each episode.

Sharing the moving Journey's with those turning back to the Wild!

One of my favourite shows, I am ardent follower, I have watched every episode and felt enriched sharing the remarkable changes people can make. Ben Fogle is the perfect presenter, so compassionate, calming and friendly that each person he stays with feels comfortable to open up and tell their stories. At many times moving and emotional. I hope this show will continue for many years.

Trivia
Between 26th May 2020 and 30th June 2020, Channel 5 in the UK aired 6-episodes in which presenter Ben Fogle revisits people he originally visited in earlier episodes of Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild. These 6-episodes form the second series of the spin-off programme Ben Fogle: Return to the Wild. Despite the opening titles reading Ben Fogle: Return to the Wild and the end credits including credits for Return to the Wild crew alongside credits for the original episode crew, on their website Channel 5 have labelled these 6 episodes as the 12th series of Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild and the series commencing 5th January 2021 as series 13. However, IMDb lists them as series 2 of Ben Fogle: Return to the Wild and the series commencing in January 2021 as series 12 of Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild.
