Over the last two and a half years, Chris Tarrant has travelled,
literally, all around the world filming Extreme Railway Journeys
for Channel 5. The hugely successful TV series is already being
repeated, and broadcast rights have been, and continue to be,
picked up in other countries, while it is also being released on
DVD. Chris's journeys have taken him to the Congo, India,
Australia, Bolivia (twice), Japan, Siberia, Myanmar, Canada and
Cuba, and the latest programmes see the completion of filming in
Alaska, Argentina, Azerbaijan, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Chris
Tarrant's Extreme Railway Journeys brings to life beautifully not
only the romance of travelling by train, but also the sights,
sounds and smells of the countries and places visited, while also
illuminating the customs and attitudes of the people the author
encountered along the way. But, as he says, 'I should have known
what I was in for and what the word "extreme" means, when the very
first show saw us filming in the Congo - where the train was six
DAYS late.' Beautifully illustrated with exclusive colour
photographs, Extreme Railway Journeys is not only a record of
remarkable journeys in extraordinary places by one of our shrewdest
commentators. It is also a demonstration of the principle that 'to
travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive'.
