1993 - Michael Palin's Irish railway trip

[Noel]

The 'new publication' thread caused me to find this: Michael Palin's railway trip through Ireland in 1993. Hard to believe so much has changed in only 22 years!

I remember serving him and his entourage on that RPSI train. His production assistant gratefully accepted a pint of Guinness but he was exhausted and all he wanted was tea and a rest!

Ahh, Tony O'Neils pub in Buttevant. Pure class.

I remember watching him being filmed walking down Shipquay Street in Derry in '93. I'm sure I have this recorded on VHS video too, must dig it out and watch it again. Can't watch it tonight as I have to work:((

JM, do you remember 2011 there on the mooring for the tall ships? Happy memories and glad it wasn't the Black Water.

No problem in USA either. Usually I get not to see anything BBC for not paying my BBC license fee. Not logged into YouTube
