Anyone else fed up with......

i think fern does live in Cornwall

there are a lot but i must admit, I enjoy antiques road trip

Totally agree. Apart from Chris Packham's walk which was great.

I am really enjoying Richard E Grant's travels. So interesting.
There are a lot, but I I like them, especially as I can't travel much. Some celebrities are very good at presenting them.

I enjoyed the one where Sandy Toksvig went to quirky UK places and the accomodation in the Mortimer and Whitehouse fishing programme. Both give me inspiration for future holidays.

I agree that yes there are too many of this type of programme.

Travelsafar.
I live north Cornwall and will be watching, with great interest, Ferns ' 'My Cornwall'.

Despite misgivings, I enjoyed it Daisend1.
Fern presented some interesting facts, spoke to some knowledgeable people and visited places off the normal track.

I agree. Too many celebs getting freebies in this way.

I think Fern knows Cornwall very well, she lives there and used to be a presenter on Westward TV and then Spotlight South-West

I am sick and tired of the celebs advertising funerals..........debbie McGee in particular.

“Write around the World with Richard E Grant”

Is rather good though.

Isn’t it ?! I like the premise and loved the Naples one.

We've watched the first two. So interesting.

I really enjoyed watching Motorhoming with Merton and Webstar managing to drive a very big motorhome for the first time. A married couple who have a good sense of humor.

He met her when he toured with his impro chums show which was really funny so it’s no wonder they work well together. Is it on 5?

I suppose they think because we don’t travel much we might like armchair travel. I’d much prefer things like Vera where they have lots of wonderful scenery round Northumbria as well as a story.

There is an ‘off’ button!

the motorhoming prog with gordon, gino and fred is good because they visit places in europe where produce is grown
then they cook the meals
also they visit artists and classical singers
and they do silly boy daring sports

We're really enjoying Clarkson's Farm. Anyone else laughing at his 'great ideas'?

I watched that too - it was toe curlingly embarrassing !!

Loads of them, Richard E Grant is doing one as well as all the others mentioned. It is cheap to make a programme like this and as people can't really travel too far it means a holiday from the sofa. It just lets you see the people that the TV channels really like as they have given them work and not others even if it is just fronting a nice travel show. I'm not so keen on the fishing in Scotland one, Les Dennis seems a bit too grumpy all the time and we are not seeing enough of the places of interest. Some others are great, love Susan Calman in her campervan and when she did the seaside resorts.

Its not the travel programmes I mind it is the celebrities doing them. I agree, who wouldn't like an expenses paid trip with access to places we wouldn't get by ourselves. I would like to volunteer !

I did watch Paul Merton Last night as my brother has just bought a motorhome (which incidentally I saw and thought I wouldn't mind moving into!) and I was interested in how they got on. It was ok but they did show another motorhome which cost £650,000!!! Even room for a car in the boot. The mind boggles...

I don't mind watching the travel shows, can be very interesting.

It's all the flippin' repeats that do mi 'ed in!

Never watched them. Not even before COVID. I am quite happy finding new Drama (or even old favourites) to watch on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Or even Disney+. If I could find a way of being able to watch TV (including Sky) without having to fund the ridiculous BBC rubbish I would. However the legal way to do it is too complicated so I carry on subsidising a dinosaur for now.

Not only are there a lot of these celebs in these programmes but they keep repeating them. I like Simon Reeve and Michael Palin? Too many cookery programmes. People watch them and then go out and buy a takeaway.
