He looked like he's had more work done on his face than Carol Vorderman. Put me off a bit to be honest.

How many people on here have turned up to find accommodation cancelled, or non existent, or is actually a s##t hole hostel - again, Clichy. Damn Turin. Or turning up at a dreaded hostel, only to find it's almost 5*, Ostend, Amsterdam, Kelvinside. I never booked ahead when I went to Sydney. That was fun, staying in a dorm with 8 Scandi girls.

Indeed . It’s funny and of course totally coincidental that everywhere they go it’s perfectly set up for them ... and everyone is waiting for them . ‘ Hello Michael , lovely to meet you . I’ve put you in the Imperial suite . In fact I’ve threw everybody out so you can have the whole floor . And the tea room where you have to book a year in advance , it’s open just for you ‘ . And that crew of 27 people behind you carrying your bags will get the next train to wait for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stein Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 It has become a running joke for me and my Mum that Portillo never gets off any train with any luggage. Having said that I didn't think his programme about empire last night was too bad. He certainly didn''t make any effort to pretend England's involvement in India was benign.

I saw Portillo in Rye, heading to Hastings, no luggage, a sound girl & one cameraman. Luggage obviously transported by road. No on board VTR because of the school idiots behind taking the Mickey.

I was laughing so much I though I would wet myself, the Kids from Rye Academy were playing up to him almost like a mixed St Trinians, and he glowered all the way to Ore where his car picked him up. Funny as F###. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevorkfevfan Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If there are any western fans (like me) out there and you have access to Netflix, I can recommend "Godless", a short series of seven episodes with Jeff Daniels as the "baddie"! Its one of TV's better efforts much along the lines of "Deadwood". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I have been watching early episodes of Death in Paradise, strange to see S2 Ep6 as Ralf Little as the bad guy, then turn up as the Inspector in a later series.

Recently it has been dreadful, they need to go beyond a UK based inspector, who hates the heat, while being furloughed for some invisible misdemeanor. Maybe, as it is a French Province, introduce Inspector Clousou. No, that would be worse than Ardal O'Hanlan. It needs an new injection. Kill Don Warrington? Kill Catherine?
