pedro111 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I meant to watch it but having missed a couple of episodes already I think I'll give it a miss. Hate joining things half way through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 There's a fat lad who gets on my bus who reads the book of the series every morning on the way to work. Don't know if this is a good sign or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy_fulla Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 BBC at its best. Love these sort of programs. It also helps that I think Stephen Fry is an absolute god. Started reading his books lately and they're also absolutely class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 good prog but i'm annoyed at the cliche of his black cab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yes been watching it all, been veryv ery good, I like Fry.... the body farm episode was class, he will take years to get over that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 good prog but i'm annoyed at the cliche of his black cab. He does drive one in 'real life', however - he has one of his own in the UK. The thing that irritates me the most is the lost opportunity to wheel out a song that'd be the ideal theme tune for this series: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Shame the series isn't longer tbh. Some states have barely been commented on but still a gret series. Absolutely love stuff like this, Coast, Britain from Above etc etc. Its a shame they don't make more of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely what I was thinking, I think Billy does this type of show best, but this series has been really good too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Did he do one on Florida? What was it like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Did he do one on Florida? What was it like? He does a different US region, covering several states each episode. Florida was covered in the second episode and he described it as like going north even though he was going further south. He didn't really cover it too much. He went to Miami and didn't like it, thinking it was brash and tacky, although he liked the Art-Deco buildings of Miami Beach. He also enjoyed travelling through the Everglades on one of those Airboats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is a lot like England, long and skinny with a lot of different areas within it. He could've done a whole series on Florida I'd reckon. Riding on airboats through the Everglades is quite an experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
