Here is an article about the series, hopefully it will air on BBC America soon but it's a good read for the meantime, sorry if it's been double posted I didn't see it yet

it's a little challenging but you can convince BBC that you are in GB and watch bbc.co.uk or itv.com while in the US. google how.
here is the BBC website for the show http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01kqjg3
enjoy! looks great!

I just watched the first episode about pilgrimage in Britain. A lot to fit into an hour but altogether a very good programme. Interesting to see the chap Lindsay (sp?) who walks with a 25 Kg cross. I've seen him in the past striding along the hard shoulder of the A2 to Canterbury. He makes me feel like a proper ponce for worrying about carrying a change of shreddies and a couple of shirts. Next episode explores the Camino de Santiago.

It'll be on BBC iPlayer. If you can access BBC through a UK server it's there for a while. I've no idea how you do that but I'm sure there's a geek somewhere in the world who will tell you how.

I wasn't terribly impressed by the first one in the series. However as next week is about going to Santiago it will be a "must watch" for me.

I didn't watch all of the first episode as I don't think my elevated blood pressure would have taken more of it.
I began shouting at the "presenter" when he complained that he "wasn't seeing many pilgrims".
He was driving a car on a major road at 50+ m.p.h.
He didn't pay attention to me, so I reciprocated.

To be fair, when i walked the Pilgrim Way from Winchester to Canterbury recently, there were no other pilgrims and not a great deal of awareness of pilgrims. It's a great route

I wasn't impressed - he seemed to do a lot of driving, give bland explanations with very little substance; beautiful scenery though - and I did like the meeting with the guy with the cross. Will be quite interested to see how he does 500 miles in 55 minutes next week - unmissable I should think. It is written on my calender!
