DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC's press release, September 2025) Golf is the hook and Bill's insatiable curiosity is the magic, as he takes on some of the Emerald Isle's most iconic courses in a love letter to both the game and the place that shaped the Murray clan. Wildly original, unpredictable and profoundly funny, this 6 x 30 minute series follows Murray and friends across some of the island's most breathtaking fairways. But this is no ordinary golf show - it's about life, chance encounters and the joy of going gloriously off course. Joined by the extended Murray family, celebrity friends, and long-time golfing companion Tom Coyne, the journey moves from revelations to epiphanies - and the occasional wrong turn. Off Course captures candid, unscripted moments woven with the wit, warmth, and wonder of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The series offers an intimate portrait into a country whose stories, people and craic are just as unforgettable as Bill Murray himself. Golf is just the excuse!
