Thanks Chris for a fascinating program - I have just returned from visiting Jordan (Petra), crossing the Allenby Bridge as you did, and visiting Jerusalem. However in your program you wrongly described Jerusalem as the Capital city of Israel. It is true the Israeli's would like to see it that way and site their parliament in Jerusalem. However under international law, recognized by the British Government, Jerusalem is NOT the capital city of Israel. that is why international embassies are all situated in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately you have allowed Israeli propaganda to influence your programs.

I haven't seen all the episodes of this fine railway series hosted by Chris Tarrant, but so far I've seen the third episode of season 1 (the Konkan Line in India) and the first two episodes of season 2 where Chris took us to Thailand and Myanmar (ep 1) and the Andes (ep 2).Chris has a wry sense of humor and he makes some very wisecracks, but is respectful of the locals in the various destinations, and all credit to the research team for we learn a lot about not only the railways but the local history and figures.Also all credit to the production team as they capture the sights and sounds of the extraordinary places Chris takes us to. Chris is a contrast to his countryman Michael Portillo, who also hosts an impressive railway series in the UK, USA and Continental Europe.

Just watched my first episode of this show, and the host's arrogance is astounding. He waxes large on Britain's "contributions" to building a railroad, and then spends most of the rest of the episode criticizing local efforts to maintain it, denigrating all efforts and demeaning the locals and everything local that he encounters. I watch travel shows on PBS to get ideas for future trips, and I am gathering nothing from this pap other than it might be worthwhile to take the same trip to find out its positives.
