Here, to defuse accusations of just going to the same places that Top Gear did, and that this show is just Top Track, he went to the Ukraine and... OK, never mind.
EDIT - oh, and next week he's going to Vietnam as well!
Chris Tarrant's Extreme Railway Journeys: South to North Vietnam
Saigon, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Da Nang, the Hai Van Pass, and Hanoi. So, nothing like Top Gear at all

RE: What TV show did you last watch?
"The Clinton Affair" - 6 part documentary about Clinton, Ken Starr, Whitewater, Paula Jones, Monica and etc.
It was "exclusive" to the History Channel, now it's turned up on More 4.
Interviews with Ken Starr, Monica and family, a lot of the lawyers in the Independent Council office, and various in the newsprint and TV media at the time.
What was Clinton thinking / not thinking ?
Either he was intentionally reckless for kicks or suffering a compulsive disorder of some kind; or more sinisterly, he just thought he could just deny his way out of anything and would never ever get caught.
Particularly when he was under continuous investigation for one thing or another from almost the moment he took office.
What on earth did Monica think she was doing ?
And then in confiding in Tripp ?
Quite incredible all round.
I bet in this age of "Me Too", some of the old clips of the generally liberal/Clinton- supporting people on the "Late Show" and similar satirical chat shows, being quite vicious in their "Slut Shaming", are all squirming a bit to see this stuff being replayed now.

Born to Kill : Peter More - The Man In Black
A bleak seres obviously but always intriguing,this time focusing on cinema owner Peter More who brutally murdered four men in north Wales in 1995.It was particularly disturbing to see him appear to revel in the attention he received once he was arrested.In November of 1996 during the court proceedings his behaviour was even more brazen,causing more pain for the families of the victims.He was given a life sentence.
