He has a series on Channel 5 too going to various places in Portugal, not by train this time.

2025 bump for those that enjoy these - new series of "Continental" started on Monday (10/03) in the usual 6.30PM BBC2 slot and available via iPlayer. Looks like they were filmed / produced in '23 based on the credits so must have been waiting a while to release them.

Appears to be 20 episodes in total in this run so runs for the next 4 weeks.

I'd missed that, so I will set my box and watch the others on iPlayer.

Thanks for spotting it !

Thanks for the clarification, i did wonder if it was new, or just an older one I had missed. Must admit, I have really enjoyed this "new" series around the former Yugoslavia. Having known a chap who came from there just after the war, it is interesting to see his homeland, and to realise how little I know of the area. I wasn't expecting so much greenery, or the entire place to be so rural compared to western Europe.

Since this thread was originally about his lively jackets, we must acknowledge the awful fit of the Nehru collared jacket he's been wearing around Portugal.

It's as if two different cutters had done the left and right sides and then sent it all of to be sewn together. First time I saw it I assumed he'd just not put it on properly, but no - one side the collar is up under his ear, the other it is down below his shirt collar. I've never seen anything quite so badly cut.
