About Us

Wood Brothers are:

Sam: an archaeologist, based in Newcastle, Australia

Ben: a computer expert, based in London, UK

Danny: a journalist, based in Liberty, Missouri, USA

We share a common passion for history, travel and turning our adventures into television documentaries. Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section.

On Hannibal's Trail is a six part BBC documentary filmed in Spain, France, the Alps, Italy and Tunisia. The adventure involved Sam, Ben and Danny bicycling more than 2,000 miles on the trail of the Carthaginian commander who fought ancient Rome. The show was broadcast on BBCFour in 2010 and is rebroadcasting on BBC2 during 2012.  When the first episode aired on BBC2 in January 2012 it  was viewed by more than one million people.  

Future Adventures: Wood Brothers want to ride again. If you have a spare wad of cash or know someone who does, or anyone with tv world connections who might be interested in funding or producing a new history adventure like the ones under the 'Future Expeditions' tab, please get in touch!
