QUEST FOR THE ULTIMATE TRAVEL SHOW

Ok, now I have grown up on the Lonely Planet. Ever since I saw Ian Wright in forgone places like Mongolia and Morocco, not only did i fall in love with him, but with the entire idea of travel as well. The show combined history, culture, socio-economics, food, humour, brilliantly composed music, good production and above all lost locales. Nothing more heady than that combination. (actually it can all fit into for a guy as well!)

Hardly anything that matches LP's stature has come out from India. See, nothing comes to your mind. Let me think, Channel V's road trips were good fun with Purab. Else everyting is concentrated over travel tips, where to go, how to go. Staid and boring. No personality, no character.

The ultimate travel show must feel like a journey.

So, Travel & Living is still my best bet.
