Funnily enough I caught the end of the trailer last night, but the 'Pub Walks' part of the title put me off - will check it out.
But there seems to be a lot of 'travel' programmes for middle-aged comedians approaching pension-age lately - mainly involving them walking about a lot and chatting aimlessly about any old shit with their mates. I can do that! Although 'Steven Tompinkson's Australian Balloon Adventure' probably still tops the list of absurdity.

The "walks" are much about chat with a companion - in this case Alan Davies's childhood. The walks don't match the maps (I guess Water-cum-Jolly was flooded) and the final "walk" 
from Mam Tor summit to Little Hucklow isn't shown at all. I guess the "Blind Bull" is the old Bull Inn which closed some time ago. There was some footage of the Barrel, Bretton.
Fwiw I saw my great grandma's house in Litton Mill. My great uncle tickled trout at "Pooh sticks bridge" sic.

The Old Bulls Head apparently, last year it took England's pub of the year award:
