After five decades in the British television spotlight, Noel Edmonds is back on screen, but this time the backdrop is a world away from Saturday night light entertainment. Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure, premiering on ITV1 at 9:00 PM GMT, follows the former TV star as he and his wife Liz build a new life—and a new business—in rural New Zealand.
Having left the UK in 2018, the couple has settled in the quiet town of Ngatimoti, where they have launched an ambitious hospitality business that includes a vineyard, a coffee cart, a general store, a restaurant, and a pub. This new series documents their efforts to get the venture off the ground while dealing with the realities of small-town life.
The premiere introduces viewers to their latest project: the creation of New Zealand’s first “energy garden.” However, their plans soon run into trouble. Unseasonal weather threatens their progress, and bad press begins to circulate, casting them as outsiders in the tight-knit community.
The central question of the series is whether Noel’s well-known spirit for adventure can withstand the very real challenges that New Zealand throws at them.
