Cheap and cheerful but unoffensive telly. Nothing that hasn't been done before by several on BBC and ITV. Travelling the country sourcing out local delicatelies and some local knowledge and folklore.
No idea who the Mason guy is. Just some random bacl cab driver by the looks of it.
Nice enough to pass 30 minutes though.

The BBC consultation document just got another response: No more pension outings
Could it get any worse?
BBC 1&2 " the Cookery Channels."
Twenty-one cookery or food related programmes according to my telly mag this week, (Saturday til Friday), might have been more if it weren't for the extensive athletics coverage.
I mentioned it being cheap & cheerful as I can't believe in the grand scheme of things that it cost much to produce at all, even with his paycheck.
If James Martin was the host would it be any different? He did a similar series a year or two back but with less of the local knowledge/folklore.
This was more like what ITV has been doing with a celeb touring the country. Ade Edmonson and that guy with the bushy mustache.
Mason has been on TV for a while now. Always driving his taxi in different places. He was in 'Toughest Place To Be A Taxi Driver' in India, and then did a series about driving a taxi in different parts of the world.

Not too sure if I like this current programme. I'll give it a while longer.
It's the same old thing every night - just in a different location.
