Just started watching it, missed the first series and apparantly the Queen is a great fan. Superb stuff, just pulled up in Wales 075.gif and a place he must have spelt wrong because i've googled it and cant find it (perhaps Nogood or Owen may help) but his spelling is porthdincline, absolutely beautiful, and it wasn't raining  :032:  . Anyone been watching this from the first series? have i missed much? Well worth a look if you get the chance.

I caught something last year when he was trying to go from Helston in Cornwall to (I forget where but somewhere near) St Ives or Penzance way by sea on a narrow boat. Looked really good but forgot to watch the rest

Me-ate-Live, innit??

He probably was in Porthdinllaen (near Morfa Nefyn) Gwynedd

My favourite prog like that is Portello's ..Great British Railways

on utube : Michael Portillos Great British Railway Journeys on BBC 2 on 12/1/10.

Yeah that would be the first series, or have i missed more than one, hold on i'll check what channel it's on.... BBC 4 wed 11.30pm, what a strange time for such a great show, and only four of them, this was the first of four, and only half an hour, easily worth an hour.set your sky plusses, it's well worth watching.
