Great Continental Railway Journeys
Discussion
Saw it very late on BBC 2 I really enjoyed this programme and the one being shown again on the British railways.
I think Portillo makes an enthusiastic and sensible host for the programme, what is refreshing is that I don't find it's dumbed down with unnecessary voice overs.
Genuinely well done.

Delightful first episode of the new series. As usual Portillo was charismatic and charming, and the production team did a wonderful job. A very enjoyable programme.

Couldn't stand him when he was in politics but he's hugely entertaining in this role and his programmes are beautifully filmed.
Absolutely - As a politician he was the personification of smug-tt and yet he comes over as genuinely likeable and personable as a TV presenter.I guess we really should be grateful the electorate booted him out of Parliament, on both scores!
I loved the Italian episode as we visited Capri, Rome and Vesuvius in the last few years, so it was like a stroll down memory lane! Shame he didn't take in Positano or Amalfi though.
