NEWCASTLE footballing icon Alan Shearer has joined forces with Robson Green for the local TV personality's Weekend Escapes programme.

In the latest season of the BBC Two series, which began airing on January 5, Robson is welcomed by a mixture of guests for predominantly outdoor-based adventures in the UK.

Season four episode three, shot in Northumberland, features Newcastle record goal scorer Alan Shearer.

"Robson is joined by his footballing hero, former England and Newcastle United captain Alan Shearer," read the episode listing.

"The football superstar and Match of the Day pundit takes time out to go mackerel fishing off the Northumberland coast, where the pair spot a pod of dolphins.

"Robson takes Alan to Eshott Airfield near Morpeth to take to the skies in a 1940s Tiger Moth."

The episode has already aired on terrestrial television, but is back on screens tomorrow (January 10) on BBC Two at 2:50pm.

All 15 episodes in the new series are available to watch on demand on BBC iPlayer via: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002phst/robson-greens-weekend-escapes-series-4-1-richard-coles?seriesId=p0dp30rc-structural-2-m002phld
