The Travel Show

on BBC Two England

Veteran travel writer Eric Newby and his wife Wanda return to Istanbul 40 years after their first visit. They reveal their preferred hotel, show how to get around the Grand Bazaar, negotiate the noisy indoor marketplace - the validehan - and cross the Bosporus to visit Istanbul's largest Islamic cemetery.

Tina Ritchie takes a break from presenting morning traffic news on Radio 1 to discover the best way to travel by motorway. Over the past three years, companies providing motorway services have spent over £200 million freshening up their facilities. Tina compares the many on offer before abandoning the fast lane for nearby pubs, hotels and even a butterfly farm.
