Enjoyable and learnt a few things. I thought the texting was unnecessary.

I too thought it was a surprisingly good episode. I hadn't intended to watch it but the remote was too far away...

Never knew JETA1 in Europe was piped everywhere. And do all German refuellers wear ties?

We had that in the UK a couple of months ago. Not bad but couldn't get my head around the stupid texting of the presenters. However, young Ms Fry would warm up any -35 degree Russian setting.

Didn't mind the texting to be honest. They had to segue somehow, and better than those shows that rehash what you'd just watched to get you onto the next topic.

And wholeheartedly agree about the best redhead on tv since Dr Who a few years back.

Sadly, her next TV appearance was in a programme called Trainspotting Live and she died on her arse bless her.
