Mediterranean with Simon Reeve

I agree. What a lovely chap he is.

I'm really enjoying this series as well. His views come across as balanced and fair.

I think he has certainly homed in on some difficult political situations and it definitely reminds the viewer how and why it is so complicated trying to unite countries , cultures and people .

He is as you say a lovely chap , balanced and fair with his reporting.

I really like Simon Reeve and am very much enjoying this new travel programme to the shores of the many countries that border the Mediterranean Sea and not the usual tourist destinations. Libya featured last Sunday and the site of Leptis Magna is magnificent, my dad was lucky enough to see it when he was in that country during the war. It was heartening to see the brave local young men guarding it from any planned ISIS onslaught.

I agree with your remark POGS, his commentary is very balanced, particularly when he went to Gaza and we saw the unhappy plight of the fishermen who could only fish in a 6 mile zone from shore, the stocks were depleted and the only worthwhile fishing was 12 miles out, but they weren't allowed to go out that far, so their efforts were futile. Very sad
