Tonight (Wednesday 26th November) UK TV Channel BBC 2 will be showing at 9pm (2100), a travel feature on Portugal and Spain ,including bagpipe-playing in Galicia and a Fado choir in Portugal ; should be fun to see ( I love both !!).

They will be short extracts - the programme is Michael Portillo's 'Railway Journeys' and the short pieces of performance are often overlain with commentary.

It will still be worth watching.

Well, Nicola and I ,having but recently returned from Portugal ( October) found the whole programme to be most informative , entertaining ,and nostalgic !! Ok , so Portillo might (I say might ) have some questionable proclivities , but one cannot help but admire both his enthusiasm and his linguistic talents .
