    Another Slow Journey tonight ...


    8pm-10.30pm All Aboard! New Zealand by Rail, Sea And Land
    Cameras take an epic overland journey, by train, boat and car through New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes. The trek beings in Auckland, but the city soon gives way to rolling pastures, volcanic extremes, tranquil waterways, the snowcapped grandeur of the Southern Alps and the beauty of Fiordland

    It is weird, however, that some of the railway stations and train exterior shots look like they've been given the CGI treatment?

    Love it!. They recently showed the first couple of episodes, and it's interesting to see how the characters have changed over the years.

    My Daughter and her boyfriend done that trip and said it was stunning from start to finish. took a while of days to do it but well worth it they hopped off at different stations to visit the tourist sites and from Picton it was on a bus to Milford Sound then a few days in the Adventure Capital Queenstown.

    I liked it too. Hated when they brought it back for that special in the 2000s. Felt that fell very flat.

    Loved This Life back in the day. Felt very strange subsequently to start seeing Miles as a Royal Navy officer in Pirates of the Caribbean, Egg battling zombies as an American sheriff, and Warren investigating murdurs in Midsomer!

    And for some bonus trivia, seeing both Miles and Egg chasing after the same actress (Keira Knightley) and failing in Pirates and Love Actually.

    Anyone watch the end of Wisting?
    I thought it was structured rather oddly. Seemed to peak around episode 5, and then rather than finish there it went on for another less satisfying storyline.

    The characters could have been more fleshed out and Wisting himself only seemed to win a physical duel in the final episode.

    I'd watch a season two but would like to see a different setting, and some more likeable characters.

    Beggered belief that a group of police men (ok, one was an ex policeman) would enter a killers dungeon, through a number of lockable doorways, and never think that he might be about...
    Beggars belief that a hunting rifle would "jam" twice....

    Wisting was just a silly cop show with subtitles No one expects logical procedural work to solve a crime anymore! :)

    I look forward to a police series which has no dead women, psycho men, rogue officers.

    Clive James had a way of writing and presenting that always appealed to me.

    BBC2 showed his Postcards from Sydney and London shortly after he died. Postcard from LA was on last Saturday.
    Postcard from Berlin is on next Saturday and Postcard from Rome is on the following Saturday.
