Forget 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' If you want to get the real dope on prospective employees, ask job candidates these seven questions.
Hybrids and small cars are the hot ticket in today's market, right? Wrong. On the other hand, the stampede continues, away from minivans, big pickups and SUVs and into cars and crossovers.
In this economy, enticing offers abound. But a lot of so-called bargains may turn out to be raw deals.
UK Tourist News
Essential UK tourism and leisure news, travel information and current tourist related media programming.
- UK Tourism on TV – December
Not a lot looks to be scheduled for UK tourism programming this month. Keep an eye on History for 'Buildings That Shaped Britain', 'Disappearing Britain' and How Britain Was Built' (all various days). Yawn, 'Countryfile' drags on on BBC1 on Sundays and Fridays (early hours) but a better bet is 'A History Of Scotland' on BBC2 on Tuesdays – this could just feature some tourist hotspots. And that's about it, unless you wish to view again 'Countrywise' which pops up again on Mondays, ITV1 later in the month. Let's hope the new year brings in some fresh programming as January is regarded as a key month for tourism planning and booking! Happy Christmas!

We've two new programs for you to check out this month; BBC1 on Sundays has 'Alexander Armstrong's Very British Holiday' visiting tourist hotspots while on Tuesdays on ITV1 there's 'John Sergeant on the Tourist Trail' looking at Britain from the viewpoint of overseas visitors. Also on Tuesdays, 'Talking Landscapes' on BBC4 features the changing face of Britain's countryside. 'How London Was Built' is on (yet) again on History at weekends and Yesterday are showing re-runs of 'Fred Dibnah's Building of Britain' on weekends and 'Fred Dibnah's Made in Britain' on weekdays. Both are well worth seeing as numerous tourist locations are visited from an industrial heritage point of view. Now here's a surprise, we often see tourist hotspots as a backdrop to some of the features on 'The Gadget Show' (Five, Mondays) - just the other week we saw The Peak District's Monsal Dale (BTW it's Mike's favourite show, supposedly for the gadgets, but his secret agenda is to ogle Suzi Perry!).Finally, we're sure you haven't had enough of 'Countryfile' so you'll be pleased to know it continues on BBC1 on Sundays. Arrggh! Click this item for more TV listings... - UK Tourism on TV – October
Well, a dearth of fresh programming this month! Both 'Countryfile' (BBC1, Sundays) and 'Countrywise' (ITV1, Thurs) continue their seemingly never-ending run while they've wheeled out that Julia Bradbury TWICE for repeats of 'Wainwright Walks' on Tuesdays and 'Railway Walks' on Weds, both BBC2. Mind you, they're worth seeing again for the scenery. 'How London Was Built' on Mondays (and Fridays) on History and 'The Twenties in Colour' on BBC4, also Mondays shows parts of the country from a historic perspective. And that's all we could come up with following our trawl through the schedules this time! Now, if only they'd repeat 'Britain's Favourite View' from a few years back, that would be a worthwhile repeat! (You can catch it on the web though, see itv.com).

In store for September we see both 'Coast' on BBC2 and 'Countryfile' continuing on BBC1 on Sundays. Possibly worth checking out is 'Disappearing Britain' on History (various times) on weekdays while 'Coast' pops up again on Tues on BBC2. Also on Tues 'A History Of Scotland' on BBC4 looks at the country's past and 'Great British Journeys' on Yesterday on weekdays has the mildly irritating Nicholas Crane, complete with his ominous umbrella, travelling around the country. On Wednesdays on Five 'Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventure' may just show some country between the weird stuff, and finally 'Countrywise' on ITV1 on Thurs continues its seemingly never-ending run!

We dig deep among the TV schedules each month for UK tourism related programming so you don't have to! For August we find 'Countryfile' continues on BBC1 on Sundays, as does the confusingly similarly named 'Countrywise' on ITV1, Thurs. Also continuing is 'Seaside Rescue', BBC1, Weds with many shots of the southern coastline. There's two instances (oh no, a double dose of Julia Bradbury!) of 'Wainwright Walks' – BBC4 on Sundays and another on BBC2 on Tuesdays (which is the repeated Coast to Coast series). Tuning to Yesterday, 'A History of Britain' is featuring the Battle of Hastings, various times on Thurs and Fridays. On the History channel we have 'Britain's Finest Natural Wonders' and 'How We Built Britain' on Thurs and Fridays. Finally, 'Mud, Sweat and Tractors: The Story of Agriculture' might be good for some scenic old times countryside views on BBC2 on Fridays. That's all we've found this month, maybe they'll be more on in September as the schedules gear up for the autumn season. Click this item for more TV listings... - UK Tourism on TV – July
Erm, a late posting this month as we've been away on holiday to the Cotswolds, which means a new image gallery to check-out on the site soon! Back to the TV listings then, and the series 'How London Was Built' on the History channel on Saturdays looks promising for looking at the capital's landmarks while 'Countryfile' on BBC1 on Sundays visits selected areas of the British countryside (yes, it's that Julia Bradbury yet again!). Check out 'Britain's Best' (Yesterday, weekdays) for historical sites around the country and on the same channel 'How We Built Britain' on Fridays explores history through extraordinary architecture. There's a new series of 'Coast' starting mid-month on BBC2, Tuesdays, while a new series of 'Seaside Rescue' on BBC1, Weds, is likely to feature scenes of the country's coastline. 'Countrywise' (ITV1, Thurs) continues and 'Hidden Histories' on BBC4, also on Thurs, looks to be a good bet at showing locations, again through a historical connection.

'Countrywise' on ITV1 on Thursdays has Paul Heiney visiting various areas around the UK and a new series on BBC4 on Fridays called 'In Search Of England's Green and Pleasant Land' finds out how the countryside has changed over the years. Nicholas Crane pops up once again travelling around the entire coastline in the much repeated 'Coast' on Weds (or Thurs), BBC2 and continuing its repeat run is 'Britain's Best Drives' on BBC2 Fridays. Others include 'British Walks With Fred Talbot' on Discovery Real Time on Saturdays and 'Fred Dibnah's Building Of Britain' on Yesterday on Tues, Weds and Thurs.

The Met Office are optimistic that this year's summer in the UK will be warmer than average and that the previous two wet years are unlikely to be repeated. Which is good news for the UK tourism industry and the extra five million people holidaying in UK in 2009 (due to the recession and the pound's slide against other currencies). Apparently the reason for an expected good summer are warmer than average sea temperatures in the Pacific Ocean leading to high pressure developing over Europe. In the previous years this was lower than average and led to poor summers. Then again, we at micbinks remember the experts saying the 2008 summer was on track to be a good one, and we all know what happened then! Let's hope they're right this time.

Looking through the schedules BBC2 is repeating 'Britain's Best Drives' (Fridays) which sees Richard Wilson touring scenic UK spots by vintage car. On BBC4, Thursdays, check-out Julia Bradbury and 'Wainwright Walks: Coast To Coast'; she's now crossing the UK west to east from the Lakes to Yorkshire (and crossing some areas we've visited ourselves, see site). Repeats of her 'Railway Walks' series are also worth looking out for. Another program worth a watch is 'Youth Hostelling: The First 100 Years' - it's all about the YHA's archive promotional film collection, this might turn up some wonderful scenery from a bygone time, it's on BBC4 Fri 8 May.

Listing specific programming each week entails a time overhead we have trouble maintaining. So we've decided to provide a few pointers at the beginning if each month instead and leave it up to you, the reader of this blog, to seek out the travel and tourism programming you're interested in - which gives us time to watch the programs too! Add this feed to your watch list to receive timely updates so you don't miss that unmissable episode... - British Tourism Week 2009
British Tourism Week is taking place from 23 - 29 March 2009 at ExCeL London.
