Catching up with Great British Railway Journeys. We’re about halfway through this year’s series, with plenty more episodes recorded on the satellite box, ready to watch.

While watching the first series, in January last year, I wondered whether we were watching the television programme of the year. And this second series is just as good. Portillo has an infectious enthusiasm for the railways, for the history, and for the technology. A fine presenter.

I hope there will be another series next year.

My favourite television programme of the year so far, Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys is quite excellent. Looking forward to tonight's edition.
