I've just viewed the latest one and have to say, they are much more interesting and entertaining than Michael Portillo. I like the balance of presentation - not too slick and professional, neither too amateurish - it comes across as two people just genuinely enjoying what they are doing and sharing it with the rest of us.

I hadn't been ... but you've sent me on a diversion.   Fond memories of my trip to Tipperary!

I've always wanted to go to Ireland and as usual, they've made me want to go even more.

I've always wanted to go to Ireland and as usual, they've made me want to go even more.

I have had the pleasure of travelling on about half of the network on the (island of) Ireland - over about 5 days for the most part.  Throughly recommened.   I did post a few picture here but I suspect most members found them to be foreign or out of gauge and response was muted
