Madventures is a Finnish travel documentary television series that concentrates on backpacking in the most off-the-beaten-path destinations on the planet. It is presented by Riku Rantala and Tuomas "Tunna" Milonoff. As the show's director and cameramen, they travel around the world exploring different cultures. They emphasize that they are on a journey, not on a holiday. The show often features local practices that are culturally unacceptable or controversial where the episodes air, to the point where the showmakers have been accused of deliberate, excessive use of shock imagery.
The programme's international premiere was in the United States on the Travel Channel on 21 September 2009. The United Kingdom premiere on Fiver is not yet decided. Originally the show premiered in Finland on the channel Sub, on 13 October 2002. Internationally, Madventures is distributed by the Target Entertainment Group.
The show includes a "MadCook" section, in which the travellers attempt to eat some of the least favoured dishes around the world — for example, monkey brains in the Amazon Rainforest and dog meat in Bali. Another light hearted feature are the waking up scenes, where Tuomas will often shock Riku while he is still asleep in bed, with hilarious results.
Madventures is a Pakistani adaptation of the popular reality show Fear Factor. The series premiered on ARY Digital, and is presented by Pakistani television actor Ahsan Khan. The show began airing on 22 February 2013, and features Indian and Pakistani actresses performing dangerous and challenging stunts.
