The Great Outdoors is a British television sitcom.
The show follows the friendships of a misfit rambling club in Southern England in which patronising group-leader Bob (Mark Heap) becomes embroiled in a battle of wills against new arrival and deputy group-leader Christine (Ruth Jones), who is determined that things should be done her way. She previously lived and rambled in Barnstaple and appears to perhaps be autistic and have an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
The show comprised three episodes, first airing on Wednesdays between 28 July and 12 August 2010 on BBC Four.
