Wonders of the World I Can’t See with Chris McCausland

WXXI TV

Comedian Chris McCausland, who is blind, travels the globe to explore some of the world’s most iconic, unforgettable world landmarks, but in a new and unique way that discovers things the ordinary traveller might miss.

Wonders of the World I Can’t See airs Sundays, November 10 – December 1 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV.

In each episode, reluctant traveller Chris will be joined by a different special celebrity guest as his travelling companion. As well as providing a humorous ‘audio description’ of their surroundings for him, the celebrity companions will do their best to prove to Chris that there’s much more to visiting these places than just what they look like, by engaging their other senses. Will they manage to convince him that it was worth getting off his couch after all?

Episode 1 (Airs 11/10 at 8 p.m.): In Athens, Chris and comedy legend Harry Hill try their hand at Olympic sports and pottery. And can Harry do the Acropolis justice when he describes it to Chris?

Episode 2 (Airs 11/17 at 8 p.m.): In Rome, Chris and Tom Allen train as gladiators and make pasta. And can Tom convey the majesty of the Colosseum to Chris?

Episode 3 (Airs 11/24 at 8 p.m.) : Chris and Guz Khan visit the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, where floating, haggling, camel riding and some unique descriptions from Guz await.

Episode 4 (Airs 11/24 at 9 p.m.): In Canada, Liza Tarbuck and Chris experience Niagara Falls. Chris is especially excited about experiencing a wonder that actually makes a noise.
