英国达人（又名《英国星光大道》）（英文：Britains Got Talent），英国独立电视台（ITV）制作的选秀节目，制作人为Simon Cowell。该节目从2007年6月9日起每天播放录影片段，直至同月17日直播总决赛，旨在发掘英国业余表演人才。优胜者不但获得10万英磅奖金，还可以在利物浦帝国剧院举行的英国皇室综艺节目上，在女皇伊莉沙伯二世和皇室成员面前表演。

《X音素》（The X Factor）是一个在英国开始举办的真人选秀节目，它最初是作为《流行偶像》的替代节目而出现。这是一个歌唱节目，目前在全球许多国家都有自己的版本。这个节目将参赛选手分组，并互相对抗来决出最后的冠军。参赛者大多是抱着成为流行歌手的目的参与节目的选拔。“X音素”的含义是代表某种明星具备的气质。该节目的奖励通常是一份唱片合约，此外还包括后期的一系列的宣传推广活动。该奖励并不只针对冠军一人，有时也包括其他获得较高排名的选手。

在第一项任务中，候选人们飞往马耳他，就九件马耳他物品进行谈判。

大英铁路之旅是BBC出品的20集纪录片。片中，主人公迈克尔·波蒂略跟随维多利亚时期家喻户晓的布拉德肖旅行指南，乘坐英国铁路游览英国各地，探访每个地区的历史、文化、伟人、重要产业，高度还原了铁路沿线地区的全貌，探寻铁路是如何改变大英帝国的地形、工业、社会和娱乐方式。

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。
