New series: China on Four Wheels

The first broadcast of China on Four Wheels -in which the presenters embark on two epic journeys across China - is on Sunday 9 September at 8pm on BBC2 and BBC HD.

In this new two-part series Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt embark on two epic car journeys through China, navigating congested cities and winding mountain roads to explore how the country's economic growth, symbolised by its booming car industry, is affecting people's lives.

Dr Qian Kan and Dr Daphne Chang are the academic consultants on the series for The Open University.

The OpenLearn website also offers more information on Chinese language. You can view a series of short films called ‘Chinese at the tip of your tongue’ and download the OU’s Chinese mobile app.
