The Michael Palin Documentary on Himalaya

[1finny]

Great bit of telly to lift the spirits

Particularly liked the Hindu approach to death - cover the body and bring it down to the river where you wait your turn to pop it on a burning pyre. Takes all the pomp, ceremony and mystery away from death.
Funeral directors up and down the UK would be a tad upset but its just so simple.

In their religion it is a male only domain which we'd need to review.
Up for it?

All MPs documentary series are uplifting. His very first Around the World in. 80 days I never tire of watching.
The episode dedicated to him crossing the Arabian Sea from Dubai to Bombay on a Dhow was superb.

All of Michael Palin’s travel programmes have been superb and insightful over the years.

He's a decent guy and a real humanist. Just invites you to travel with him, explore and make your own judgement. Travel opens your mind, that's what he's saying.
