Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Portillo has been making these programmes for years but the quality shows no sign of dipping. It remains much the same but now the Bradshaw has gone to give a fresh dimension. He has a genuine passion for gaining knowledge, understanding history and meeting people, having a natural interaction even with people from a different background or political opinion. He is intelligent, respectful, well mannered and conducts himself with dignity and integrity.

The researchers are the real unsung heroes, they do a great job, the show is always interesting and entertaining, maintaining an element of surprise. I continue to learn so much more about my own country from a programme which is supposedly just early evening light entertainment.
