Michael Palin 作为英国知名的旅游节目主持人的生涯是从1980年开始的。在那年，他接手了BBC大英帝国铁路行的拍摄。在“一个火车旅行者的自白”中，他乘坐火车从南至北穿行了整个大不列颠，并参观了一些火车博物馆。在这部26年前的片子中，我们可以看见年轻的Michael Palin。 　　14年后，Michael Palin又拍摄了“从德瑞到肯瑞”。这次他通过同样的方式——乘坐火车穿越了爱尔兰岛。 　　英伦三岛的旖旎风光、风土人情由喜剧演员出生的Michael Palin生动串联起来，可看性很强，且作为Michael Palin的初始之作，值得收藏。

Michael Portillo travels on the great train routes of Europe, as he retraces the journeys featured in George Bradshaw's 1913 Continental Railway Guide.

1913，布拉德肖指南出版，从此爱德华七世时期的英国游客开始把眼光投向欧洲大陆。一百多年后的今天，前内阁大臣迈克尔·波蒂略拿着这本手册，沿着上面推荐的路线，开启了欧洲大陆铁路之旅。1913年，一战前夕的欧洲正值发展繁荣的顶峰。沿着铁路，我们一起漫步匈牙利的海滨大道；欣赏阿尔卑斯的壮丽雪景；品尝比利时香浓的巧克力。更有英国文学作品中的经典场景:阿加莎悬疑小说中的东方快车，福尔摩斯与莫里亚蒂决战的莱茵巴赫瀑布。最后以一战停战协议签署地—贡比涅森林结束这段奇妙的火车之旅。

Armed with his 1913 railway guide, Michael Portillo returns to his native Spain to discover what the intrepid tourists of the Belle Epoque experienced on their travels through the fading Spanish empire. Hard on their heels in Madrid, he visits the scene of a grim assassination attempt at the royal wedding of a British princess and a Spanish king. 　　Striking south to historic Cordoba, Michael dances with an unusual partner and enjoys all the fun of the feria. Heading further into Andalusia, Michael arrives in Seville, the city he has made his Spanish home, and where, in the city's tobacco factory, he learns about a gypsy girl named Carmen. 　　After sipping sherry in Jerez, he traces Winston Churchill's tense diplomatic mission to Algeciras on Spain's Costa del Sol and finishes with tales of British espionage on the Rock of Gibraltar.
