Si King's first 'major solo project' since Dave Myers' death announced by Channel 4
Channel 4 has announced a trio of new lifestyle shows, including a series about the UK railway network fronted by Hairy Bikers star Si King almost 18 months after Dave Myers' death Channel 4 is set to spice up its lifestyle programming with a fresh trio of shows, including a railway adventure series led by Hairy Bikers ' Si King. The upcoming four-part series, tentatively titled Top Of The Stops, will see Si King, 58, delve into the vast network of over 2,600 train stations across the UK, engaging with the dedicated individuals who keep these hubs running smoothly. Produced by the Welsh company Yeti Television, the show promises to take viewers on a journey through some of Britain's most unique train stations, with King accompanied by transport historian Siddy Holloway and architect Damion Burrows. Clemency Green, Channel 4 's senior commissioning editor for lifestyle, expressed excitement about the project: "As the rail network turns 200 years old, this series will spotlight the best of our country's engineering history in a different way. "We're honoured Si will be presenting his first series for More4, and Yeti will no doubt deliver a captivating series that viewers will love to escape into." Since Hairy Bikers co-star and best friend Dave Myer's death in 2024, Si has continued to honour his legacy, participating in a final Hairy Bikers program titled The Hairy Bikers: You'll Never Walk Alone, which aired in December 2024. In January 2025, he joined ITV's This Morning as a regular chef on their cooking segments. Now, almost two years after Dave's death, the star will be fronting his own adventure series on Channel 4. Another addition to the lineup is What Not To Eat, where Dr Tim Spector, alongside Dr Kandi Ejiofor, will guide viewers towards healthier eating by providing nutritious alternatives to junk food, ready meals, and other ultra-processed foods (UPFs). In each episode of the four-part series, a British family grappling with health issues such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and more will be featured. Spector, at 67, shared his concerns: "It's hard for people to make good dietary choices when what they're sold as 'healthy' food, in my view, can hardly be defined as food at all. "I passionately believe that even quite modest changes to our diet can have a big impact on our health, and I cannot wait to get started on this new series where I'm going to try and change people's lives by changing what they eat." In other news, design guru George Clarke will be tackling home improvement challenges in his upcoming show, George Clarke's Kitchen Vs Garden. At 51, Clarke teams up with garden design maestro Luke Millard for the series, which sees homeowners grappling with tough design decisions. George Clarke's Kitchen Vs Garden will premiere on Wednesday August 13 at 8pm on Channel 4. Top Of The Stops and What Not To Eat are set to grace Channel 4 screens later this year and in 2026, respectively. Green added: "Together, these new titles demonstrate the strategic ambition of Channel 4 lifestyle's commissioning approach: engaging specialist communities, sparking national conversation, celebrating everyday life, and offering unmissable entertainment. "From trains to fast food culture to home renovations, this new slate reflects the broad spectrum of knowledge Channel 4 talent bring to our portfolio, offering audiences what they love, wherever they watch."
