Anybody watching?

It's interesting , not as good as Simon Reeves travel documentaries but I doubt Ed Balls would compare himself to him.

I think Ed Balls is quite a likeable chap though forgot about this series. Whatever Ed has appeared in he's shown himself to be interested and friendly.

I enjoyed the series, Ed always seems a nice normal guy, and he will have a go at anything.

It obviously came as no surprise but it is interesting to see the UK and other EU countries are similar in so many ways politically and the shift in voting habits.

Yes Ed Balls does have a ' have a go ', ' friendly ' manner whilst presenting.

I haven't seen it but might try and find it.

Isn't it amazing how many of these politicians become popular after they leave politics!

Yes I did watch several in the series, missed one. It was an eye-opener to see how many countries are rebelling against the EU which is reflected in their populist votes.

Very interesting programme. Ed Balls was just the person for it. He's friendly and seems to be very genuine. The increase in nationalism was interesting to bear in mind when it came to the recent Irish election.
