    Just what we need...

    Two British comedians trying to explain Australia to a disinterested British audience in quick succession on separate channels...

    Indeed and Griff is no Michael Portillo. I tuned into the first episode with great anticipation because i have seen Griff on various UK shows and of course because it was about Australia Railway journeys but it left me really flat. I actually found it quite boring in parts and didn't return for ep 2. I am not sure his style suits that kind of show.

    ***edit*** I should add that all of the above is my opinion of course before the lynch mob goes looking for the pitch forks.......
