ToadOfToadHall Posted January 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The QE is featured on the BBC next week on Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03sgpsj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted January 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yes, I noticed that too. Something about showing how to lay a table in the Britannia Restaurant I think. Last week Nick Robinson was on the QM2 on a programme about immigration. He appeared to board the ship from the pilot boat while approaching Southampton and then stayed on board while in Southampton.

Ray66 Posted January 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Quite a good advert for Cunard I thought showing the theatre and bridge as well as the restaurant, as well as quite a bit of historic Cunard footage. It must have been filmed a few months ago though with Peter Shanks still being around. Edited January 20, 2014 by Ray66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadOfToadHall Posted January 20, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I recorded it so I'll be watching it after Mrs Toad has finished watching the rubbish that is Corrie and Emmerdale ! I find the railway programmes Mr Portillo does very good indeed. Hopefully this one will be good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted January 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I really enjoyed the programme and it was very good PR for Cunard. Of course they don't lay the tables like that these days. Not like it was on QE2 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like it was on QE2 :( A table set for a formal dinner is set in the same way everywhere. It's not a special Cunard way of setting a table.

ToadOfToadHall Posted January 22, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've watched it now. I thought it was quite good considering it was just a small bit of the programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
