About
The Great Outdoors was a British television sitcom.
The show follows the friendships of a misfit rambling club in Southern England in which patronising group-leader Bob becomes embroiled in a battle of wills against new arrival and deputy group-leader Christine, who is determined that things should be done her way. She previously lived and rambled in Barnstaple and appears to perhaps be autistic and have an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
The show comprised three episodes, first airing on Wednesdays between 28 July and 12 August 2010 on BBC Four.
