Rob And Rylan’s Grand Tour
The pair in Venice, I'm not sure what I made of it. A strange mixture of intellect, emotion, culture - all revolving around a gay-fest which, in my opinion, dragged (pardon the pun) the programme down with its innuendo. I like both these characters but really wanted to say 'forget the gay - just get on with the programme'. But so wrapped in 'gay' was the whole thing that without it there wouldn't have been a programme - which is a shame. As presenters they make a good team.
Will I watch the next instalment I won't rush.

I am surprised at Robert Rinder, who has built his career on his reputation as an advocate, not on pandering to the titilation of TV audiences who still regard being homosexual as some sort of novelty trick.
Ladybirder - I have long believed that television and radio have a history of 'safe' camp figures, dating back to Julian and Sandy on 'Round The Horn', to Larry Grayson, Mr Humphries, and so on.
A large audience finds them slightly 'daring' and certainly different, rather, as I say, as something of a novelty, but ultimately safe and unthreatening.
