saw an advert for 'around the world in 20 years' in which michael palin attempts to find the indian boat and crew he travelled on in 'around the world in 80 days'. should be worth a look (abc of course, vandy).

Oh we've seen that - tune in! He's basically tracking down the crew of a boat he sailed on from Dubai to Mumbai back in the 80s, on one of his early travel series. Typical Palin - very sweet.

thanks tq, i thought that i would watch on the basis that i've enjoyed every palin travel show i've watched (he is a sweety isn't he?) and that it's about india. could hardly go wrong with that mix i think.

Watched Camel Odyssey last night, pretty good except for the death of 2 of the camels, both suffered sicknesses.

Worth a look for sure.

One interesting part is how the Media has such an influence on uneducated people, Pretty scary really.
