The story of the Orient Express has been, for a hundred years, the tempestuous story of the changing shape and meaning of a continent... and more. Thus, this great Train, like an ocean liner on rails, is an ideal vehicle for a journey towards and understanding of the New Europe, especially in light of the astonishing changes of recent times. The journey is hosted by virtuoso actor, novelist, playwright and raconteur, Sir Peter Ustinov Culture s most international man.

Originally made in 1991 this is the first time on DVD for this long lost progamme.
