Thank's Kevin, set for record.

Note, It is now showing as 7:30pm on Monday 25th March - Edited to show correct day.

As he [Michael Portillo ] journeys up the west coast of Scotland from Ayr to Skye, Michael discovers how the railways helped train the first generation of commandos at Lochailort in World War II,

I'm sure that Monday is the 25th and not the 23rd of March, well It is in north Wales. Time 19.30 will edit my previous post to 7.30pm.
Cheers

Whoops, sorry Kevin, you are right, was meant to say 25th ! Luckily my Sky box knows what day it is ;-) I will edit my post then people will wonder what these comments are about.

Like most programmes on TV these days it's a repeat but nevertheless worth watching.

I saw it first time round. :) Anything that mentions Commandos is worth watching.
If I have praised my comrades too highly I make no apology, for they were beyond all praise.
