i have visit many of the place in around the world in 80 treasure and really loved my travel . however and dan cruikshank have trivialize the history and culture social system and architecture of these place to present an imperialist and pompous earch for treasure ( whatever that be suppose to mean ) . the idea of a treasure ( in mysterious place and like the east ) be a totally victorian imperialist british concept and completely inappropriate for discuss the culture of the place that this idiot visit . he be an ill inform waffler and a complete opportunist who hasn not even bother to do adequate research into the place he visit i doubt if he have much interest in know about these place . rather the program be just about him and with his dramatics and animation he steal from these extremely interesting place to direct attention to himself . for example there be no need to emphasize the drama of the market area of calcutta through dramatic gesture and there be enough go on there already . so why doesn not he just let u enjoy see the place and tell u a few well research fact and instead of force u to look at him . i think dan cruikshank be shameful and should be an embarrassment to the bbc and to the abc who present his antic . the only way i can bear to view this program be to turn the sound off even then i be force to see his ridiculous gesture a he dominate the screen . watch this program be an exercise of frustration and i would not be punish myself again .
