I've just watched the one about Switzerland. His trousers are the most red trousers I've ever seen !! They hurt my eyes !
I love his style, not that I'd wear his jackets but it's him! I do like Portillo and find him very "listen-to-able".

I thought it looked a tad too small too.
I did as well. Nice to see some positive coverage of Moroccan Railways though - I did a very similar trip a couple of years back (across from Tarifa and then onwards from Tangier Ville) and the (main) Stations are all like palaces which you could eat your dinner off the floor.

Attempted to catch up with the Berlin to Stuttgart episode on iPlayer and it's nowhere to be found.

Turns out the BBC decided not to air it because of the Scotrail train derailment outside Stovehaven. Unbelievable.

I suppose every time there is a fatal road traffic accident they'll be pulling Top Gear.
