I haven't watched one since last Friday, but that's really only because they ended then ... though from your comment I take it you haven't noticed. You really should pay more attention ... then perhaps you wouldn't keep 'whingeing' about my comments on the programme, considering I haven't made...

... I've commented about the programme on relatively few occasions; mostly I've simply responded to attacks by you on my right to do so. I might also point out that I have not been alone in observing the shortcomings of the programme, and that I have, of course, sent suitable feedback to the...

... and I've already stated my reasons for continuing to watch the programmes. No, I don't watch programmes which I consider to be NOTHING but crap, such as the Eastenders you mention, but occasionally there is crap associated with something which is otherwise worth a look. Perhaps, if...

... so that's what I expected to be watching, and if I didn't have an interest in railways, particularly in the era before diesels and electric took over, I wouldn't have watched. I continued to watch because some of the old footage and old stills were of interest, but in doing so I was...

It's not necessary to spend ANY time 'searching' for faults and errors in these programmes, they are glaringly obvious, though perhaps I ought to apologise for not being 'average' enough for you? Whilst on the subject of 'average', might I point out that your 'syndrome' is actually 'glass...

... when I'm 'relaxing', my eyes and ears still function perfectly well ... as does my brain. I'd have to be asleep to miss some of the howlers in these programmes. The people making them are not badly paid, so why do you think it is OK for them to do a crappy job?

... but I watched the programmes, and commented on what my visual and auditory organs transmitted to my brain. Do you have a different way of doing it perhaps?

The trip from Settle to Garsdale was announced as a single 20 minute journey, so my comment stands. Regarding his insincerity, when you take a bite of food, do you screw your face up if you think it's nice, because that is what Portaloo does on almost every occasion? I merely comment on what I...

Nobody has mentioned it yet, but surely I'm not the only person to have noticed that his trip from Settle to Garsdale started and ended with Leander as the motive power, but appeared to change to Scots Guardsman for part of it. Must have been a REALLY interesting 20 minutes. Easy mistake to...

Don't believe everything you hear from Portillo, he's a 'politician' you know, so the truth is rarely in evidence. The real reason the Settle-Carlisle line was kept open is because Thatcher's closure of the UK's coal mines meant that imported coal would be needed to fuel the coal-fired power...
