Great show. Hope he does the Darjeeling and Himilaya Railway next week.

Top show from a top bloke! Apart from the dancing....
I've been to many of the places featured - brought back some great memories, but didn't come even close to portraying the utter chaos & sensory overload that you are confronted with, especially in cities such as Amritsar.
Interesting factoids on the Raj government in Shimla: I wasn't aware that they basically ruled what is now Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Burma, Singapore & the UAE, all from one little mountaintop village, with no rail or road links!!!!!

No, likewise. I knew they ruled 'India' from Shimla but not further afield too. I'd never considered the logistical problems.

Have to say he always amuses me but he must also be one of the very finest presenters to camera.

We get some oldish Great British Railway journeys here in Australia and tonight was the second time there has been someone say to him "it's all those cheques you've been writing...". Tonights was after he makes light of having one shoulder lower than the other (which all people pretty much have) while getting measured up at a tailor (Carl Stuart Menswear) in Huddersfield.

I wonder where he kept that - given that he never has a suitcase !

[snuffy]

Yes, no jacket !

But matching shirt and trouserage !

And i think that was the best episode of the 4 (not that any of them were bad mind you).
