TV Review: Julia Bradbury's Irish Journey delves into diaspora identity - but it's turgid telly

"The real problem here is predictability. Ireland looks nice, Julia loves it. It made me long for Kirstie Allsopp from Location, Location, Location. Say what you will about Kirstie, but I reckon she’d have refused to eat the seaweed."

TV presenter Julia Bradbury, on her Irish Journey for Channel 4.

The word journey gives me the willies.

It used be about going from A to B, but now it’s about growing as a person. And it’s very boring watching someone going through a journey of self-discovery on TV.
