Did it not start yesterday? Or did I dream about the new pre-title sequence and Michael Portillo trying curling?  Tongue Wink Grin

In the some orthodox calenders I believe it is tomorrow so its all right you haven't missed it.  Or you could wait until 19th January and celebrate it with the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem!

Becoming a distant memory with the only reminder the pile of sweets and chocolate sitting in the corner. Same every year!

Back on topic. Always nice to start the year with a Great British Railway Journeys. Gives me inspiration for travelling by train come the summer on these long dark evenings.

Thanks for the heads-up! These are repeated so often that I hadn't noticed that a new series was starting, and would have missed it otherwise. I love the pace of these programmes.

Must confess that when I saw "Greenock to Larkhall" my immediate thought was that it's one heck of a long journey, right down the length of Britain from north of the border all the way to Bath. But apparently there's another Larkhall, up in Scotland somewhere.

I watched the first one of the new series on iplayer today. Am I dreaming or has the production company pushed the boat out and created some new titles?!
