Discussing the filming experience of Hairy Bikers Go West to Prolific North earlier in February, Si King shared how the duo had “a blast” visiting some of their “favorite places.” He added that it was "always quite nostalgic" because they could ask the other if they remembered the last time they were there.

“It’s always quite nostalgic because you always go ‘god, can you remember the last time we were here,’ that’s just the very nature of travel when you go back to places. It doesn’t necessarily mean to say that you go back to those specific places but every single part of the country has its own character and personality and feel to it,” Si said.

He went on to say:

“What was lovely is, as always on the bikers, it’s the people that make it and their characters and personalities because it’s defined by the landscape in which they live.”

The upcoming episode of Hairy Bikers Go West will be released on Tuesday evening, March 5, at 7 pm on BBC Two
