I agree, it was an interesting watch despite my not really rating the presenter highly.

Really interesting watching her kayak the Rio Grande on the Mexico/US border as we rafted it a couple of years ago.

Also she went close to Big Bend a fantastic little known National Park on the border which was fascinating when we were there.

We also went through the check points in from the border with the machine gun toting officials checking our car for stowaways.

Good memories, interesting place

Not enough baking in that for me.

I’ll be interested to see if he goes to WDW, we saw someone who looked a lot like him or at least dressed in a similar fashion, in the bus queues at EPCOT this time a year ago. They finished filming about that time so would stack up.

I’ve just watched the first episode. Really interesting, I really enjoyed it.

How to make friends in Martha’s Vineyard🤭

Liberal elite = Passive aggression.
This isn’t just a TV program Perry is putting out, it’s a piece of cathartic art.
His self confession of “I am one of the liberal elite” (which went above his guests heads...lol) was TV gold.
Many Channel 4 viewers must have sat uneasy in their Ikea Sumvald chairs when it hit home that what the educated middle classes do is build villages that proclaim inclusiveness but in actual reality build barriers to keeping blue collar and working class out.
Its the most interesting bit of TV thats been on the box since the Levison enquiry.

He actually stated very recently that the liberal is more aggressive and less friendly than the right winger.

When a guy (sorry, I should have originally include woman or non gender specific. That was sexist of me. My unconscious bias came to the fore in that it’s only men who are capable of violence) comes at you with a baseball bat you know what to expect and how to react but the nice looking man or woman or non gender specific person carrying a brief case approaches you, you haven’t a clue what their agenda is...until its too late..

It is with noting that Grayson Perry is nether transgender nor non gender specific.

Enjoyed the second episode, it certainly gives you a lot to think about
