    All aboard with Bill Nighy

    Bill Nighy plays himself as he takes viewers around the world on the tracks. I wish Bill appeared on screen, wandering the carriages, imparting whimsical bon mots, but not to be. Still, Bill Nighy is central to this series. If Bill was to fall ill, then I propose that Danny Dyer fill in as narrator just in case.

    Bill Nighy puts me to sleep

    The scenery is very interesting but Bill Nighy's torpid narration is better than a bottle of sleeping tablets. He sounds bored, mostly. Droning on, and on.

    Hardly changes his delivery at all - Ho hum I hope they get someone else soon.

    Train Travel Through South Africa

    Just watched the episode of the journey from Pretoria to Durban. Wonderful scenery and photography. Zero points for mispronunciation of most of the place names. Try harder Mr Nighy; you have won awards for acting so there is NO excuse! Surely someone local could have helped you with the sound. And if not, get someone to dub the voice-over.

    Misleading Title

    The "world" apparently consists of the UK and nowhere else according to the makers of this for-TV pile of garbage. The makers really should be fined under the Trade Descriptions Act. There is also nothing remotely "scenic" about most of the routes they pick.

    Is this really the state of TV in the UK? Yes, of course it is. Insular, stuck in the past and BORING.

    I wouldn't make my dog suffer watching this. You shouldn't either..

    Great programme, poor Nighy

    Great views camera work editing. In fact very well made travel films. But here comes the but! Why oh why voice over from Bill Nighy? Dogry me wrong I admirehim as an actor in his no rush, English gent style but voiceovers of a railway travel series, no he sends me to sleep! It's rather outdated as well doing voice overs. Can you imagine Portillo not appearing in Great British Railway Journeys? Or Chris Tarrant being absent in his series?
