What TV show did you last watch?

2.6 Snowdonia
Paddleboarding on Lake Bala and admiring the beautiful town of Dolgellau, arguably Wales' trickiest town to spell and pronounce (well, with less than 5 syllables anyway). A typically relaxed end to another series.

Paul Merton: Driving Amazing Trains
1 - Isle of Wight
Surprised it's 3 years since his last such show. Here he talked a lot about his dad, who was a Tube driver apparently. Paul got to ride electric trains, steam trains and even model trains. Plus helping deliver a calf (by hand, not by train).

Back after his Easter break with a look at Prediction Betting; why the guys running it are so shonky, why their business is taking off at present, why they claim it's not gambling dear me no, and what the real results are likely to be.

Unspun World
John Simpson suggests Cuba is in a timewarp (without suggesting sanctions might have anything to do with it), hopes that Russia is going to collapse from within (after 4 years of similar suggestions), and looks at prediction markets (which other pundits looked at weeks ago), as well as the shaky position of Taiwan.

2.8 Along to San Diego for the "Senor Croak" which includes chicken, egg, bacon etc, then the Kraken, with bacon, onion, gorgonzola (!) and sriracha peanut butter, before the final one hour challenge involving pancakes, pork sausage, bacon, ham, hash browns and 3 eggs. 90% fail, and Casey joins their number after just 40 minutes.

MvF
2.9 Up to Pittsburgh, to try a buffalo chicken perogie with sauted onions, then kielbasa with sriracha slaw & sweet potato discs, before a 5lb stuffed burger challenge including fries, slaw, meat & cheeses of choice, 30 mins and a friend's help. 90% fail... but not these two.

In a surprise move, Ian lets Stephen present his script. Neil finds his glasses, having not needed them last week. And Bonnie Greer returns to add her $0.02 since she was alive and American at the time the film was released.

CM: Mulholland Drive
A way to pay homage to David Lynch. Was it his masterpiece? Hard to say. Bonnie made it 2 shows in a row.

Last in the series, and another somewhat jolly effort from someone keyed up to the cliches of the show. She got sent to glamour hotspots like Dumfries and Moenchengladbach (though alas clearly not a footie fan at the latter). Moving meet-up back in Farnworth to finish, though.

WDYTYA? Zoe Ball
A new series, again with someone who'd not long lost one of her parents. She tackles a Glasgow tenement, a Newcastle asylum and a Bodmin jail, cunningly swerving a cast-iron chance to go to Lancaster. Angela Griffin now doing the VO work.

Olly Murs Steps into the Unknown
Much like the typical Comic Relief challenges, only this was for Soccer Aid. The faded pop star with a dodgy left knee has to travel 400km over 5 days, including running, cycling and rowing. He starts Day 3 having one of his big toenails being ripped off. He clearly has little or no gift for rowing. But despite the pain, he makes it to the end.

The Footage Detectives
Melvyn Hayes is their guest, and shares the whole episode rather than flitting in and out. This leads to old clips of his ads and younger roles, a well-wish message from Cliff Richard, and some promotion for his autobiography.

2.10 Down to Daytona Beach, for the prosaic Pig burger, followed by pancakes made at table, and a final challenge which combined 3 stacked sandwiches, which 85% fail. However, with no time limit, he skips the optional fries, and wins the day.
