Is The Lost World of Friese-Greene coming back?

The Lost World of Friese-Greene ended on May 2, 2006, on BBC Two.

This documentary series from 2006 explored the journey of filmmaker Claude Friese-Greene during 1924 and the following two years, as he traveled across Great Britain in what he called The Open Road. Using innovative color filming techniques for its time, the series showcased the landscapes and people of England, providing viewers with a rare glimpse of the country in color for the first time. The program combined historical footage with modern-day travelogue elements, offering a retrospective that contrasted the past with present-day Britain.

The series was a history genre show that aimed to reconnect viewers with the nation's heritage through a visual journey. It featured a modern host, Dan Cruickshank, who revisited some of the original locations and reflected on how the country has changed over the decades. The show consisted of three episodes, each approximately one hour long, and was part of a broader effort by the BBC and the British Film Institute to celebrate historical filmmaking and national history.
