Arthur presents Radio 4's weekly programme about travel and much else besides, Excess Baggage, and previously presented a Radio 4 travel documentary series, Sentimental Journey. From Argentina to Cuba, via several bars in New York, Arthur has travelled the world, amassed an unrivalled collection of shoe buffers, airline socks and anecdotes, speaks fluent French irrespective of country, can, and will, quote Dante at length.
