Firstly, the impeccably-vowelled Mr Brian Sewell, on Sky Arts HD, taking us on one leg of a pilgrimage through Spain, heading for Santiago. I could listen to him for several hours with a huge grin on my face.
Then, a little later, Ms Joanna Lumley, on BBC HD, travelling on the adventure of a lifetime to realise her dream, held since childhood, of seeing the Northern Lights. By train and sled and ski-mobile well into the Norwegian Arctic, she had me transfixed for an hour. I was there with her, as she met locals and found out about this wilderness region of extremes, and the elusive phenomenon she sought so eagerly and, eventually, delightfully, witnessed.
It's what good TV is all about.

never mind all that... I'm having lunch with Andy Taylor tomorrow. From Duran Duran! 28 years after starting worshipping the Gods That Walk Like Men, I'm finally gonna meet one!
