Flavours of SpainPremiere date: Sunday, 13 April 2008 at 22h00
Hot on the heels of his Latin American travels, Charlie Ottley stays closer to home with a look at what Spain has to tempt his taste buds. Charlie’s journey takes him across Spain from the tapas treats in Zaragoza to the saffron farms of La Mancha.
Away from the kitchen, Charlie takes time out to investigate the best in art and architecture and drops in on a few festivals.
Never one to turn down something to wash down a tasty morsel, Charlie sample the best wines Spain has to offer and gets his hands on a 1958 vintage at the Marques de Riscal winery.
SPECIALS:
World’s Greatest Motorcycle RidesPremiere date: Wednesday, 9 April 2008 at 22h00
Henry Cole sets off to find the greatest place on earth to be on two wheels. In two one-hour specials, Henry sees what the West Coast of America has to offer.
First up is the world famous US Highway One running from San Francisco down to Los Angeles. Always one to wear his heart on his sleeve, it’s not long until Henry is both in raptures at the scenery and in despair at the traffic.
In the second programme (on Wednesday, 16 April) Henry toughs it out Riding the American Deserts.
Death Valley, Mojave and Joshua Tree, just the names evoke classic Americana. But far from cruising along soaking up the heat, it turns out to be one of the most challenging rides Henry has ever undertaken.
