    It's on it's hundredth repeat or summat like on one of the Sky discovery channels.
    The last time I was talking to Ian, months ago, he told me he doesn't get repeat fees for the programme. Also he wrote the scripts from home, or wherever, certainly not on location.
    I can't remember where he recorded the audio for it.
    He doesn't actually visit the locations so what you are listening to is quite possibly a bloke who has written it, and recorded it ... in Darfield.

    I'd feel like a bit of a fraud doing that.

    I don't care, it's still good viewing.

    Yes, it's very pleasant viewing.
    I used to like watching those Swiss Railway Journeys on a Sunday afternoon a few years ago. The sort of programme that just drifts by you leaving you with a comfy, snoozy feeling.
