Have been watching the programme most of the week. I enjoyed the one on wednesday which visited Canterbury and Whitstable. Ive never been to Whitstable and having seen it on this programme I am now keen to pay it a visit..not sure I'll be trying them whelks though!
Last night Michael Portillo came down this part of Kent. Hugely enjoyable. He alighted at all the local towns Sandwich, Deal, Walmer and Folkestone, but notably never alighted at Dover Priory. It showed him at the station but he opted not to get off the train saying it had been over visited by too many. But he went on then to Folkestone taking in Samphire Hoe and the Channel Tunnel. A great programme even though Dover was almost airbrushed out.
Here he is at Walmer Castle reading from his Bradshaw Guide...which has been his scripted guide throughout all programmes...
Michael Portillo himself is a total revelation, being one of the best new TV performers in this sort of programme for many a year.
