I think he's great. Just posting here for anyone who didn't know he was doing a new one.

I'll be watching, enjoyed his other documentaries

I keep meaning to buy his books. Would love to go to one of his talks as well but he never does Scotland.

I've really enjoyed all his programmes and will be watching.

Thanks for this. Love his previous documentaries and he he's pretty easy on the eye too!!

he's pretty easy on the eye too!!

Yep!

Already ready for Levison. Can't wait. Easy on the eye?? He is lovely.

Oh and I love the documentaries too

His programmes are excellent , I also like the Simon Reeve documentaries on the BBC .

Oh, I love him. Although I'm still intrigued about the guy who just died on one of his trips.

Definitely looking forward to this!

Will definitely be watching

What did you all think of it?

I thought it was really interesting. Life just seems so tense in some of those towns. Gorgeous scenery in parts too.

I was a bit disappointed he wasn't walking it all though.

Good start. I do wonder how much advance prep goes on - letting borders know etc?

Me too SwedishEdith.

I did think that myself PurpleDaisies then thought I suppose that's possibly why it was titled differently. I really must buy his books, I'd love to read about the bits that aren't shown onscreen.

I liked it, very interesting how suspicious people are to begin with but then so welcoming and friendly.

Love a bit of Levison.

The dc's love watching his programmes too so it's nice to sit down and watch together.

Lots of food for thought in the first episode I thought. Looking forward to next week's episode.

Just watching first episode now. The scenery is staggering. Levison is 😍 and his guide isn't too bad either 😄

Thanks I didn't know about the new series. Will see if I can find the first episode.

He's very um, watchable

Really enjoy his series, seems like a shame they don't extend them beyond 4 episodes, seems like there'd be more mileage there..he's actually a friend of a friend on fb so I see he gets lots of banter from his mates about being a dreamboat etc, ha!

Finished first episode. Does seemed to be a lot of editing in this one. Feel like we are only skimming the surface. Didn't get that feeling with the other series so much.

Think I would recognise Levison's teeth from a line up now. We get such alot of close ups of them.

Thanks for this I didn't know there was a new series on. One of the most frank and traumatic pieces of television I've seen was when his friend died on a previous trip. Frightening how fast it happened.

I like this series, sad to say bye to his guide today though.

This one doesn't feel rushed to me, but I do wish they were on for longer as I find them interesting and the people he meets are such characters.
