O/T - Documetaries on TV tonight

The final instalment of Benefit Busters on C4 at 2100.
But before that on BBC2 at 2000 is The Frankincense Trail, hopefully an objective but not too serious look into the mysterious Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Frankincense Trail was excellent last week.

I was hoping it wouldn't be a too serious look at Saudi, and I wasn't disappointed.
I bet there were a few tongues handing out.
Jeremy Clarkson's already getting his visa sorted out.

Follow the link above to 'watch again' while it is still available.

Kate Humble buys some freshly harvested frankincense, then follows the original, overland trade route.

I hadn't realised how stunningly beautiful some areas of the Middle East are. It's turning into a very interesting programme that manages social commentary (she actually became tearful when she first wore a hijab[?] ), historical programme and geography.
