Travel the sands
Like the other entire travel documentaries Michael Palin has made, this series I found very enjoyable as he blends light humour with the excitement of exploring this planet from a different perspective you would normally find on a travel documentary. Using typical native transports for the area's he travels in, and in a delightful way submerges himself into their world. He keeps you entertained throughout the whole experience with insight on past and present events. He is one of the greatest travel documenters.

A good documentry, but slightly forgetable
I think after seeing both Around the World in 80 Days and Himilaya I was expecting more from Sahara, however this wasn't to be the case. Even though there were only 4 episodes, it was slightly forgetable. I think it could either be due to each episode being 1 hour long, or perhaps because the documentary seemed the same (sand, sand, and more sand) followed by the ending being very rushed and Michael seemingly travelling about 600 miles in 5 minutes. Even so, worth a rent.
