I have to say I feel Jane is a little out of her depth in Asia, probably too far from Wakefeildmfor her. She looked rather pleased to have a handful of dongs though. |

Wrong Robadog, it's her "naïve" presentation style. She should be on the geography curriculum of every school in this country. As for "dongs", that too is her naivety, she is sooo easily led. The woman is an inspiration. |

I agree she is no Judith Chalmers but her relaxed and comic style more than make up for it.

This week I'm being taken up the Mississippi - that's before the titles roll!!! It was a good start, but I thought Jane was a little restrained on the innuendo front this week , unless I missed something. I wonder if that was because her American fellow travellers and the cruise staff , wouldn’t appreciate it? |

Definitely my least favourite episode - especially her constant gushing over all of the buildings built by slaves and stylings that are so evocative of slavery. Not to mention that the majority of people she met in lower-paid jobs were black and higher-paid jobs were white. Something about it didn't sit right with me. Was gutted she didn't do an Elvis song at Graceland!

Indeed. Let's just say, to keep the innuendo quota up, that this week Jane left a bad taste in my mouth!

Yes, the award winning Dame Jane is back on our screens tonight.
In the opening episode, Wakefield's most famous daughter visits the land down under, the land of wonder.

It was good to have Bafta winner Jane back on a Friday. Enjoyed the programme and Jane has such an ability to present in a natural and funny way. Lovely to see the different destinations too.

Every bone in my body wants to not like this show but it's addicting! Jane comes across so well in it and she's hilarious, I used to not be able to stand her.

As an old Sydneysider I was disappointed that we didn't see much of Sydney before Jane was off to a new destination. The scene where she sang 'O mio babbino caro' on the stage of the Joan Sutherland Opera Theatre was great but I was hoping for just a few more glimpses of Sydney. Never mind, the programme was enjoyable none the less thanks to Jane's winning personality.

Have to say cruises are now my favourite holiday by a mile. Have done 13 so far and done about 8 companies, my favourite being Princess. They do vary depending on if you prefer a larger ship like me as they have more facilities and a wider choice of entertainment. They are such an easy holiday though and the service is so great.

Thank you so much for reminding me Drowseychap!!!! |

Well we have done 12 , 13 by the summer. Princess 4, Cunard 2, and all these once: P and O , Costa, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Carnival and soon to be MSC. Princess are our favourites due to superior food and entertainment. Cabins or state rooms are usually the same whoever you go with. Our least favourite was P and O this April. I wasn't overly impressed with the food and they were a bit too British. However I am sure you would enjoy most. There are many websites and we just usually wait for a good offer to crop up. With the MSC this August we got a balcony cabin for the price of an inside. Our first balcony. We have done a range of places, mostly med but have done Hawaii and Caribbean.Cruisenation.com and bonvoyage are pretty good sites but there are loads of them.

Big Jane fan, but anyone else think the whole schtick is wearing a bit thin now?
I mean... Last night there was a solid 5 hours of Wakefield/wine gags.
If I was her agent I might be thinking about advising a little Jane-free period before everyone gets sick of the sight/sound of her.
Or maybe they're milking it for as long as they can...

Oh my word this remains trashy on every level. But I keep getting strangely drawn back to the hammy naffness of it all. A guilty near-pleasure. I think!

The new Down under series starts on Friday. This covers other forms of travel I think other than cruising. Jane is everywhere this Christmas / New Year!

If I was her agent I might be thinking about advising a little Jane-free period before everyone gets sick of the sight/sound of her. Or maybe they're milking it for as long as they can... Her mother died the other week, and when I looked there was a solitary tweet expressing her sorrow, surrounded by lots more tweets blaring out “last few seats left for Blackpool” and suchlike. I don’t know who is in charge of her twitter but I thought it was distasteful. And I agree, the schtick is wearing thin. |
