Another new TG4 series, ‘Rónán ar an Camino’, begins tonight, this time from a location in Northern Spain.
‘Rónán ar an Camino’, the new four-part series from Waddell Media, follows radio presenter Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí as he walks the Camino de Santiago, a religious pilgrimage trail in Northern Spain.
Mac Aodha Bhuí attempts to find out why thousands of people walk the difficult path every year, asking questions about religion and spirituality.
The pilgrimage has been well known in Northern Spain for many years, but came to prominence around the world in recent years, when the Martin Sheen-starring film ‘The Way’ was shot on location at Camino in 2010.
In each episode, Mac Aodha Bhuí meets new friends, including the Gilligan Family from Ireland, who decided to take the Camino route to celebrate their parents’ 30th anniversary.
Edel O’Mahony and Milène Fegan co-produced the series for Waddell, with Jannine Waddell and Máire Ní Chonláin (TG4) executive producing. Ross Bartley directed the show,
Aidan McCarthy was the offline editor and Jim Thompson the online editor in post-production.
‘Rónán ar an Camino’ is the latest in a long line of original series TG4 has commissioned. It joins Celtic Media Festival-nominated documentary ‘Jockey Eile’, formats ‘Taisce Tí’ and ‘Scór Encore’, and comedy series ‘Crisis Eile’.
‘Rónán ar an Camino’ starts a four-week run on TG4 tonight (Thursday February 21) at 10pm.
