Henning did mention it was a "slow train", so presumably stopped at most/every station en route, as Jodie picked up on.

[@pierrenilsson6189]

The difference between flying and going by train is that the train will stop multiple times but you can't get off the flight early. I did not follow the logic in that comparison.

[@Jamsyke]

Yeh the plane comparison makes no sense. By Nick’s logic there would be passport control at every single train station. Trains don’t have border security staff travelling on them.

[@Jamsyke]

If Nick is interested, the current situation is free movement between countries without border checks, but the Czech Republic joined the free movement area in 2007, so in the mid-90s there would have been border guards boarding the train at the final stop before the border (probably the same travelling from USA to Canada).

Alex Brooker on David's right is a comedy presenter on the ' Last leg' , on Lee's right is Ben Miller , more of a comic actor ( I'd recommend checking out Armstrong & Miller - " world war 2 pilots" sometime . Henning is really great on this show , he's German but has spent quite a while here and is a successful comedian , he gets our sense of humour very well .

[@jimhoyt5]

For Ben Miller I would recommend Primeval and the first couple series of Death in Paradise.

[@BassoNero]

"Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket" (translated as A Nice Weekend) was/is a solo or a group ticket that you can save up to about 80% buying it. The massive discount comes with only using the slow trains during that particular weekend and expectations of a large number of the population taking advantage of it. If you don't mind a bit longer and slower travel time, you can find many picturesque villages/places where you can take a break from the hastiness of our times. It just need to be planned well. Many options. (Any Germans here, please correct me, if I got something wrong.) That being said, I think the train ticket is only valid in Germany, so they weren't planning on travelling to Czech Republic at all (that's why they didn't bring their passports). Couple of the train stations on route were probably quite close to the border and Henning with Pit were just being cheeky adventurous young men, got off the train and headed for Czechia. (In for a penny, in for a pound. What's the worst that can happen?) 😂

[@lynnelang3184]

Alex Brooker is a comedian, a presenter and a journalist. He has appeared on 8 Out Of 10 Cats, 8 Out Of 10 Cast Do Countdown and he co-presents The Last Leg with Josh Widdicombe and Adam Hill.

[@MelvinSimKH]

There are two possibilities: 1. The train would stop at many stops (since it’s a slow train)within Germany before entering Czechoslovakia so there wouldn’t be any point checking the passports of all the passengers since many of them wouldn’t be crossing the border. Passports would only be checked AT the border 2. The train ran totally within Germany so no passports necessary at all. Henning and Pit would have taken one of these trains but would stop at one of the border towns where they would get off and try to sneak into Czechoslovakia.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

I'm pretty sure the 'Schönes Wochenende' ticket that Henning and Pit bought was specific to Germany. If I'm not mistaken, he is from the west of the country, and the border crossing to Czechoslovakia would have been in the south or the east. Also, Czechoslovakia was in a bit of a state past the Soviet collapse and would itself be dissolved in 1992 (hence Henning didn't know if it was just the Czech Republic yet), so either way, it makes a whole lot of sense why they would have been the first illegal immigrants from Germany: Either because the country was so new (if it was The Czech Republic), or because most illegal immigrants would have gone the opposite direction. but yeah, just to clarify, the Velvet Revolution, as it was called, was a totally different beast to the dissolution of other Warsaw Pact countries in that it was very peaceful/soft, hence the velvet. Still, I can understand why people would leave out of fear of what could have happened to both the economy and the peace of the country.

[@sianneish]

Henning is the German comedy ambassador (he's a stand up, and appears on various panel shows). The one about Interpol is another great Henning story. And the guy next to David is Alex Brooker who's one of the co-hosts of The Last Leg but he's also done some documentaries (usually about disability & sport).

The train stops many times in Germany before reaching Czechi.

[@CollieDog24]

Henning Wehn is very popular on the comedy circuit and we've seen him three times at our local theatre,thats three seperate titled tours. He is very funny and takes the piss of the british culture as well as the german culture.He did say he never drives and always uses public transport. My wife met him in the foyer after the show,autographs,photos and he is a nice bloke. Started off as a rep for Wycombe Wanderers football club ,then one night went to a pub,saw a stand up comic,and had a go!! THe rest is history.He does well in the UK. Sell out tours.

[@RedcoatT]

We once went on a family holiday and my elderly mother in law forgot her passport! Fortunately we live close to the airport so my eldest son was able to rush to her house and pick up her passport in time to get her on the flight.

[@NickHobbs]

Surely the ticket situation is obvious? The train might have 10 stops for example before entering another country. You might only need to go 2 stops, so no need for your passport. On a plane, it's not like you could have got off in mid-air before entering the UK, and that's the reason you were asked for your passport before getting on the plane :)

[@happilyeggs4627]

He's half of the comedy duo, Armstrong and Miller. Ben Miller was a scientist. He did a PhD in solid state physics. His doctoral thesis was named, "Novel Quantum Effects in Low Temperature Quasi Zero-Dimensional Mesoscopic Electron Systems". I would need a degree to understand that sentence. His girlfriend at the time (at Cambridge University) was a pre-fame Rachel Weisz. He joined the Cambridge Footlights, a famous breeding ground for actors and comedians. He has had several comedy series with his partner in comedy, Alexander Armstrong. Miller has appeared in many films and tv series, notably "Death In Paradise" as the main protagonist, DI. Pode, and in "Professor T", as Professor T. Both are excellent and fun detective series. He has also appeared on QI several times.

They check your passport on a plane because it is the only destination...trains have many stops, just because you get on it doesnt mean youre going to the final destination.

[@Gaspode_]

Jodie's right. The train stopped at many stations before crossing the border and passports were checked at the crossing. Only people still on the train at the last stop before the border would need a passport.

Thanks for this. Good reaction,as usual, though not using the "5-second rewind" cost you there because you paused it during the PIT/PETE pronunciation at the moment he said "Otherwise I would have said.." and then you spoke and,on returning, the first word we all heard was PETE, which drew a huge laugh from the audience but, understandably, nothing from you as it was the final word of the joke..lol The best joke would have meant nothing to you but when this German guy mentioned "Penalties" meaning a fine, the audience roared with laughter as Lee said "We all know about Germans and Penalties" as Germany CONTINUALLY knocked England out in major Football Tournaments on Penalties after the teams Draw the game.😀

[@JoeSurkitt]

In mainland Europe you generally dont have to show your passport when traveling by road between EU countries

[@hallstar74]

Sounds like the ticket is one in which can only use regional trains which are the ones with lots of stops at smaller places rather than an Intercity train which only stops at the main places. There will have been a stop close to the border where they will have got off at. Of course the situation is different now as both are part of the Schengen area which means no passport checks so just like taking a domestic train. Flying is the same, although airlines might still need photo ID to board, but when landing you just walk out the airport without checks. There are cases where there will check ID though, like during Covid of when there was an attack in Paris and France but where checking people at the border. I did have to show my passport while crossing from Denmark to Sweden on the train, not sure why they did that day but agents just got on and checked everyone at the 1st station in Sweden.

Where does the Orient Express begin and end? Orient Express Route What is the route of the Orient Express? The original Orient Express route travels from Paris across Europe through Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and Bucharest before arriving in Istanbul, so a passport would be given if going a long way across the route.

Land borders are much easier to cross on foot... Than with air travel to another country... As you must have a valid passport to even board the plane before departure... Plus if the country you're visiting requires you to have a visa or vaccinations... These must also be obtained well before you travel... However... Germany has borders with nine countries... Austria... Belgium... Czech Republic... Denmark... France... Luxembourg... Netherlands... Poland... Switzerland... Spanning more than 2,300 Miles... So you obviously can't have a border checkpoint every single mile... So realistically speaking... Crossing the border into another country that's not at an official checkpoint... Must be relatively easy... Mountain ranges and some large natural bodies of water can discourage illegal entry into another country... But there are many opportunities still available for those determined enough to cross those borders illegally... Henning Wehn and his friend were just unlucky!... That's all.

Western European trains did not enter the former USSR, he would have got off that train and then have to pass through border control. The ticket he used was a popular train ticket which allowed for travel through any Western European country before the wall completely came down in 1992, the end of the USSR. Most Eastern European countries would allow entry of Western Europeans because all the USSR regimes and influenced governments were collapsing and they wanted Western European tourists to enter and put foreign money into their economies. Had the same experience in Yugoslavia in 1988 with border guards pointing automatic machine guns at us when we docked on a ferry from Italy.
