Michael Palin - Sahara on DVD (2002)

Kasem Saowijit from Leeds , 06/08/2004

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.

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.

my mum.

She loves this man, she has all the DVDs and books.

When she met him he was eating a sandwhich.
