In the way that the universe often balances itself out I regret that you’ll find Bobby Seagull and Sue Pollard to be like matter and anti-matter.Thank you for drawing our attention to this new series. I am not ashamed to admit that, instead of dissing them for the celebrities in the program, I am curious to know who they are. When I read “broadcaster and mathematician Bobby Seagull, a practising Catholic” I immediately went to Wikipedia and when I read that Seagull has since become a national campaigner to improve maths literacy. He is concerned that in the United Kingdom [and elsewhere!!!] it is acceptable to celebrate being bad at maths as if it is a badge of honour, I thought: “My kind of guy”. Plus: Fatima as the destination - a different kind of category than the previous destinations, I think.
Definitely will watch it.

Have a look for the radio and TV programmes which Seagull and his former quiz show adversary Eric Monkman have made. They would be right up your street.
Thanks for the link and thinking of meChurch Times interview
Synchronicity - a friend just alerted me to the series. I will record it, and hope the machine will behave. Other things I thought I had recorded took leave of absence and so I missed them. No doubt it is the tv getting back at me for not paying enough attention to it.There is to be another series of the BBC programme "Pilgrimage" in which a deliberately mixed group of celebrities are filmed following a pilgrimage route. This time the group have followed a route from Valença to Fatima. The series is due to begin broadcast on Friday 7 April at 9pm on BBC Two. Episodes are very likely to be available on the BBC iPlayer service after broadcast.

Pilgrimage is back for a new season – and this time, the celebrities are trekking through Portugal on the Fatima Way.www.radiotimes.com
If the thing is still playing up then you should be able to watch the programmes on BBC iPlayer once they are broadcast.ynchronicity - a friend just alerted me to the series.

@Kirkie we can't get the bbc iplayer as it is restricted to the UK*. If you have a Virgin TV subscription you should be able to watch it when broadcast - the best approach i find is to the record the whole series (should give you this option when you set to record the 1st ep). That way you have the whole series once broadcast even if you forget later weeks.Not in Dublin, so far as I know...but thanks for the thought. I might phone Virgin media and see if I have a wrong setting somewhere.
Thank you... I think perhaps the problem could be that the person in our house who watches tv live, ie the news, switches everything off afterwards.@Kirkie we can't get the bbc iplayer as it is restricted to the UK*.

*unless you get a VPN for the UK but that's beyond my capabilities/desire
Sorry @Kirkie clearly didn't read your earlier message! Doh! Too early on a Sunday morning for me
thanks for the reminder...Apparently all three episodes will be available from tonight on BBC iPlayer after the first episode is broadcast. For those who prefer a binge watching session. I saw clips from the new series being plugged by three of the participants on another BBC programme last night. Some very beautiful scenery but I am beginning to guess which one of the celebs would be first on my list for voting out if the programme makers had gone quite so far down the "entertainment" format route...
I found him the most interesting and sympathetic of the celebs. I'll let you guess which one I sometimes wanted to tap on the head with a bottle of vinho verde.I’ve just watched this for the second time ( once is spectacle, twice is…) for those with an inclination to consider the subtleties of belief and faith pay close attention to Nabil Abdulrashid.
Tap? Tap! Little Dog had my hand firmly in her jaws more than once ( I’m not allowed to bottle the Telly) Apparently I take that sort of stuff to seriously.I found him the most interesting and sympathetic of the celebs.
