Thanks Annette. Hopefully the series will air in Australia eventually...its a route I'm not familiar with at all but I'm sure it would provide beautiful scenery.Just reading Madroods thread about St Columbanus reminded me of the next series of Pilgrimage being screened this week on BBC 2
It follows in the footsteps of St Columba, another Irish monk who travelled from Ireland to Scotland around 1,500 years ago to spread Christianity
St Columbanus, St Columba …these Irish monks seem to get around don’t they!
Celebrities..Ha Ha ,I’m not really up on the celebrity culture!Thanks Annette. Hopefully the series will air in Australia eventually...its a route I'm not familiar with at all but I'm sure it would provide beautiful scenery.
Do you know any of the 'celebrities'? Not surprisingly, no familiar faces to me... I usually recognise perhaps one but no flash of recognition this time.
Happy viewing. Wonder if this series will polarise like the others have...
Thanks for the effort Annette.Celebrities..Ha Ha ,I’m not really up on the celebrity culture!
never heard of any of these ones on the Pilgrimage
I took a snap of the names though
see below ...
"celebrity pilgrims" whose descriptions sadly read like a microcosm of the secular world we live in, following in the footsteps of St. Columba to 'seek out his legacy'...excuse me for my jaded distrust in this production being anything but an attempt to disavow truth. Hope not...Celebrities..Ha Ha ,I’m not really up on the celebrity culture!

just what I thought!Let's hope the program actually involves walking this time...
A reread of the second paragraph might be enlightening...Not a single practicing Christian amongst them! Imagine if this was a series about the Hajj, packed out with lapsed Muslims. Or the Kumbh Mela with non conforming Hindus.
As always, Auntie knows best
In regards to anything coming out of the good old telly one doesn't have to do much much research these days to know the content lol.Thank you @peregrino_tom for your positive and honest comments which are obviously based on actually having watched the series.
Wasnt it The Bock or my house rules?Thanks for the effort Annette.
Woo hoo...there's my one 'celebrity-per-series' I've heard of! I know who Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is but hadn't picked him out of the line-up. He was a questionable judge (in the 'why him?' sense) in a short-lived Aussie reality show...can't even remember which one.
Let's hope the program actually involves walking this time...
Enjoy!

Not sure what you mean by this but could this be about the meaning of 'legacy' in this context?following in the footsteps of St. Columba to 'seek out his legacy'...excuse me for my jaded distrust in this production being anything but an attempt to disavow truth. Hope not...
You managed to express, in just three lines (I have a wide screen), your disapproval of the BBC licence fee system (£159 a year or $200 for those unfamiliar with it), of the BBC2 Pilgrimage series, of not widely known persons in the public eye on TV and of the fast food corporation McDonald's! That's no mean feat.We still have to pay our licence fee to watch fake pilgrimage or NOT. Its a pity they cant take the subject seriously rather than propagandaise it with people who are simply there to earn a few bob or raise their celebrity profile. Having seen some of the previous attempts its a MacDonalds version of restaurant eating.

I don't lolChill guys - Its a bit of fun, entertainment TV. If you don't approve, then don't watch it
Yes, but they usually actually watch the movie or TV show before writing their critique.I believe criticism of TV and movie entertainment is as old as....well, TV and movie entertainment. Same goes with books. Some people even make a living doing it.
Honestly, with all the fetid garbage coming out of the flat screen human umbilical cord these days watching it is no longer a prerequisite.Yes, but they usually actually watch the movie or TV show before writing their critique.
I am not a native speaker of English and I wondered whether you are confusing criticism and critique. I am also not an etymologist but I would guess that a review, even a critical one, means re-view, view it again, make comments about it after having read or watched it at least once. That cannot be the case about the three one-hour long episodes of the BBC2's Pilgrimage - The Road to the Scottish Isles because they have not aired yet. The first episode will be on the telly tomorrow (Friday 8 April) and other two episodes can be watched a week respectively two weeks later.I believe criticism of TV and movie entertainment is as old as....well, TV and movie entertainment. Same goes with books. Some people even make a living doing it.
Thank you for this comment. I remember little about the second series and, similar to your case, it did not make much of an impression on me. Of course, I had not walked to Rome so the element of 'been there seen that' was missing, unlike in the first series.The second series didn't make such a strong impression on me [...]
I found the third series unexpectedly thought-provoking and moving. Again a bunch of people with little in the way of background or 'qualifications' for the job.. but maybe that's how the camino works?
That's nice to know that you enjoy YouTube content. Does it bother you that other people enjoy BBC2 content? I'm really just curious. BTW, I have BBC2 on cable.I'd rather watch some of the Youtube content with real people but then thats not everyone on here.
Saw this advertised. Looking forward to watching it.Just reading Madroods thread about St Columbanus reminded me of the next series of Pilgrimage being screened this week on BBC 2

Oh that’s a shame. In Australia it can be viewed on our streaming service Binge. I still intend to check it outWell that wasn't awful but it was very, very dull.
Well said, rather a lot of knee jerk reactions on here because they're "celebrities" so it must be worthless. I watched the first episode last night and there were some interesting discussions. To be clear there is a Christian plus a Jew, a Muslim, a Pagan, a Sikh and a man of no faith but having an open mind. Perhaps an open mind is what's needed here.Well a more postive view from here..
When I heard in advance of Series 1 how the so-called celebrities were being ferried from place to place and just walking little bits, I feared the worst. But actually, somehow by the end it had managed to portray something of the essence of the camino, particularly on how the group began to bond and feel the sense of journey together.
The second series didn't make such a strong impression on me - although strong enough to write to the production company afterwards and ask if they could release more of the conversation when, at the end, the group received a wonderful audience with the Pope. I never received a reply.

So I am not prejudging Series 4 in any way, except to say that I'm looking forward to wild celtic scenery, Atlantic weather with attitude, and just hoping in the first episode they feature some of the Donegal I love (well that's pretty much all of it actually) but fingers crossed for Glencolumbkille..
I really enjoyed it as entertainment value and from the perspective of people coming together to get on and discuss all of their religious believes with no judgement. The scenery was interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing the journey as it goes from Ireland to Scotland.Well that wasn't awful but it was very, very dull.
The young Ms Moffatt is clearly a devout Christian and stated how important her faith was to her as she grew up. She was also quite emotional when there were comments that she thought were negative about Christianity.Not a single practicing Christian amongst them! Imagine if this was a series about the Hajj, packed out with lapsed Muslims. Or the Kumbh Mela with non conforming Hindus.

Yes...we do...Just reading Madroods thread about St Columbanus reminded me of the next series of Pilgrimage being screened this week on BBC 2

St Columbanus, St Columba …these Irish monks seem to get around don’t they!
We certainly do!Yes...we do...
Well, we all have an opinion about it, and we can express it even if it is not entirely endorsing. It is a forum, after all. No one is overheating.Chill guys - Its a bit of fun, entertainment TV. If you don't approve, then don't watch it
Thank you Kirkie,It's a holiday, so I watched episode 2. I like how it is being presented, actually. There are some moving moments.
One voice said: This should not be called Pilgrimage, it should be Privilege.
Another said : Pilgrimage is a journey in which we discover truth about ourselves.
I will watch part three when I have time.
Thanks, Annette, for alerting us to this.
