George Clarke’s Adventures in Americana is a travelogue with a difference, as the Amazing Spaces star George takes us on an architectural adventure across the USA. Over four episodes, he journeys from the Deep South to California, Florida and the East Coast, exploring classic American design from bizarre desert hotels and vast ranch houses, to serene wooden cabins and even Frank Sinatra’s modernist Palm Springs home.
"I admit I badgered Channel 4 about doing this series," says George, 49. "I wanted to celebrate Americana, which is a term that captures everything from 1950s diners to the classic American refrigerator, neon signs and iconic cars. As a lad growing up in Sunderland I was mesmerised by all of that stuff."
