Title: good visuals, but pretentious narration
Review: This DVD is very good at giving the viewer a true sense of traveling on some of the finest trains in the world. Unlike some train travel vids, this one focuses as much on the train itself as it does on destination and sights en route. On lesser trains that might be tedious, but here it is very welcome. One drawback: everyone interviewed is falling over themselves to tell you how 'faaaabulous' the train is. By the third episode, I started mocking them in Monty Python voices. I checked the prices for these journeys on the internet and they are certainly pricey, so I can understand their desire to make them sound luxurious (which they are). But they lay it on way too thick. I found myself hitting the mute button whenever they paused to interview staff.
