    Between Will Smith’s joking but reverent hosting and the sweeping visuals, Pole To Pole With Will Smith is a show that’s worth watching, even if you stopped being a fan of his post-slap.

    Smith is an unexpectedly warm, attentive listener. It’s a lovely mix, and makes Pole to Pole a celebrity documentary that is an honourable exception to the usual dross that passes commissioning muster.

    Clearly, this quasi-celebrity vehicle is some way from David Attenborough or Michael Palin (who had his own series of the same name), but I warmed to Smith’s enthusiasm.
