Chris Tarrant's Extreme Railways [DVD]

Railway travel is very much under the auspices of Palin and Portillo, traditionally. Both have been doing their thing for years and become expert at it. I was not sure what kind of a programme Chris Tarrant might make. I ended up after viewing his three episodes being quite impressed. Two things stand out. Firstly this is one hundred percent railway travel dedication, and he's dedicated. He knows his stuff. Second, interactions with locals, all good, nothing phoney or staged. If he's frustrated, he reveals that, engagingly. I would certainly like to see more episodes.

Very informative and entertaining dvd. Nice to see all the different countries and the hassles of travelling abroad. Highly recommend.

Despite some initial reservation as to how Chris Tarrant would handle these three railways he did them justice.Chris gets on well with all sorts of travellers,railway staff,engineers and develops a good understanding of these three very different railways.I have watched the DVD three times already.

This was a gift and am very disappointed it does not work I want my money back

I watched this on television prior to buying it,i loved it then and I love it now.Gives the viewer a good insight into the history,building and maintenance of these very different railways.And Chris Tarrant is a exellent host of the program.

No subtitles!!!!!!!!!!

Bought as a present and it hasn't been sent back to me in disgust so it's probably pretty good if you a) like trains, and b) Chris Tarrant

What is there not to like...
