From 1988, I really enjoy watching him, he makes his journeys so interesting

Mrs Hughes is enjoying the re-runs as well.

he does have such a natural and engaging style with everyone he meets, and the cultural and language issues just melt away because he is so open and friendly and curious and willing to engage and learn.

I can still hear Luigi Vercotti there though - "I decided to open an high-class nightclub in Biggleswade with international cursine ... and cookin' ..."

Really good tv Andy

Totally agree, really good television, Interesting to hear him talking about his travelling etc on BBC1 first, then the re-run of Around the World in 80 Days immediately after on BBC4. Very entertaining.
