Tropic Of Cancer - BBC2 20:00hrs Tonight

[Beach Hut]

Like travelling ?

Then watch this new series on BBC2 at 20:00hrs tonight as Simon Reeve makes quite brilliant travel documentaries that are very interesting and good humoured.

Well worth watching as his last two series have been very good.

BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Tropic of Cancer, Mexico to the Bahamas

I'm really looking forward to it

I like his style a lot, gets very involved and explains things very well.

i have been looking forward to this all week, really like simon reeve and I used to live in mexico city and i think thats where he is starting.

 

[Beach Hut]

Absolutely superb program, can't wait for next week.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

Was disapointed with the mexico city section, its always bloody wrestling.

 

[Grizz]

Gotta admit i thoroughly enjoyed watching this last night, totally different take on travel programmes from the norm. Enjoyed his well informed humorous stance and also that he didn't leave anything out, the taxi incident being outrageous!

 

[csider]

very good viewing

 

[Colossal Squid]

Shame he didn't spend more time in Havana but given it's not actually on the tropic of Cancer I guess it's understandable.

Great programme

 

[little al]

I enjoyed it.

Got an excellent write up in The Times today

I enjoyed it. As above I would have loved to have seen more of Cuba but as it's not on the line then it shouldn't really feature heavily.

That shrine to the "Drugs God" that people go to pray for the safety of their trafficking was beyond belief!

 

[shoreham moonraker]

That whole taxi incident is very common in mexico, they actually got off very lightly and i think this was down to the cameras. 300 pesos! its normally 1000 minimum to the police.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I watched this, and then turned over to watch David Dimbleby in India on BBC2. Interesting the difference in styles!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Shit. Forgot it was on

 

[Beach Hut]

Just about to watch on Sky+

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Has anyone been watching Wonders of the Solar System straight afterwards?

 

[Dr Q]

Has anyone been watching Wonders of the Solar System straight afterwards?

Certainly have, Beeb2 Sunday nights is brilliant.

Hats off to the Prof Cox for making potentially mind numbingly boring physics highly watchable telly. And a former member of D-ream to boot

 

[dannyboy]

that brian cox is also 41. doesnt look it does he?

if you like that program you should try the universe over on history channel that is very good too
