DID MICHAEL PORTILLO NOT HEAR SWEET SONG OF NIGHTINGALE IN FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE?

                                                                  

Portillo in France  -  oblivious to birdsong

Poor show by Michael Portillo  in this week's episode of BBC TV's Great Continental Railway Journeys which took him to France's beautiful Loire Valley. Not only was there no mention from the politician-turned-broadcaster of the nightingales singing in the background, but the birds were subsequently silenced either by his commentary or the intrusive musical score. Must do better!
