Hannah Fry is one of my favourite homegrown mathematician and broadcasters right now. Much like Brian Cox, the brilliant British physicist, they both invite you into a subject that might not be one you’d usually favour – especially with a creative mind – yet they make it so accessible and exciting, you can’t help but be captivated by their insight and storytelling.

Her brand new National Geographic series, The Infinite Explorer with Hannah Fry, sounds like a genuinely epic global adventure as it takes us across the world in six-part series, starting on Monday 10th November at 8:00pm.

Airing weekly, Professor Hannah Fry sets out to uncover the patterns and hidden connections that shape our world. It’ll blend travel, science and storytelling to uncover the hidden threads that shape our world, the series takes viewers to six extraordinary destinations – South Korea, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Vietnam and Spain – following Hannah’s quest to reveal the forces that define culture and the connections that make a nation what it is.

Promising to be much more than a travelogue, and I’d believe that, Hannah seeks out extraordinary voices and surprising quirks of history and geography that reveal what makes each place truly unique. Looking closely at patterns and hidden connections, she shows how Spain’s destiny was shaped by mountains, analyses traffic etiquette in Ho Chi Minh City, reveals secrets embedded in the Parthenon’s geometry and explores how Irish syntax builds a worldview.

Hannah had the following to say:

“I’ve always been fascinated by the patterns that lie beneath everyday life. This series gave me the chance to explore them on a global scale, from the way landscapes shape history to the traditions and quirks that define culture. It’s been a joy to meet people around the world who bring these stories to life, and I think audiences will be amazed at how much the hidden details reveal about us all.”

I just get the feeling that The Infinite Explorer with Hannah Fry is going to be a compelling, interesting and, importantly fun, series! Watch the trailer:
