Was this the one from around 1990 when he travels on the RPSI steam train (slieve gullion?) and talks about the Peace train? If so I have it on DVD somewhere, my Dad got it as a present a few years ago; I think its a box set of Michael Palins railway journeys.

You will have to whack the volume right up to hear anything - but, for God's sake, also remember to turn it back down again..!
