I can never remember what days anything is on other tahn QI.

If you get the chance, visit it, and make sure you go to Cluj (Michael didn't) but it's a fab city! http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/michael-palin-new-europe#post-39126 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 18:33:20 +0000 amyl_nitrate 39126@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I liked it when he went to Transylvania in the last episode. Great stuff. X-D <br /> <br /> It might not be his last one. It'll depend on his physical health more than anything if he can keep doing it and keep finding places to go then why not? He said in an interview once that it looked like Himalaya would be the last but he's got the travel bug and doesn't want to stop and then he realised there were still places to go like Eastern Europe. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/michael-palin-new-europe#post-39031 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:55:07 +0000 Saturn 39031@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Is anyone still watching this??<br /> <br /> I love the way he goes to places and meets people none of us ever would, strange, out-of-the way places and wonderfully eccentric people.<br /> <br /> He's like everyone's favourite Uncle coming back from holiday and sharing his tales, like an old sea dog regaling you with his wonderful warm, gentle humour and compassion.<br /> <br /> I<em> really </em>hope this is not his last series &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_sad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:(&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/michael-palin-new-europe#post-37781 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 16:52:08 +0000 ratoutofhell 37781@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Did anyone else watch the first episode? It was good. It was cool getting to see countries I knew absolutely nothing about. I'd never seen so much as a photograph of those countries.

Mostar, for example.<br /> <br /> I'm especially looking forward to any bits of eastern Germany &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/michael-palin-new-europe#post-37743 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 20:09:55 +0000 amyl_nitrate 37743@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ All the anime dvds I've been wanting to get hold of are region 1. I haven't seen any region 2 ones. I can't afford to import from Japan either. I can't even afford to buy j-rock cds. They're such a rip-off at 15 quid for an effing single (and that's importing from America) and 20-60 quid for an album. Would ones from Japan even have English subtitles? I've never heard of people buying anime (in English) from Japan. A lot of people import from America (which is good if you've got a multiregion player) or download fansubs rather than wait for UK release. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/michael-palin-new-europe#post-37742 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 20:07:43 +0000 ClareBear 37742@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ but....Japan's region 2, just in the NTSC colour format instead of PAL http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/michael-palin-new-europe#post-37669 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 12:41:26 +0000 amyl_nitrate 37669@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Red Raven - when you move to England you won't need to worry about Region 2!

Triple that for the UK.
