Thoroughly enjoying Wilderness with Simon Reeves, thanks to whoever recommended that. Time to plan that Patagonia trip before I get too old. :idea:

Go to Peru first! Machu Picchu needs those cameras of yours!

Machu Picchu, site of ancient Inca ruins located about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Cuzco, Peru, in the Cordillera de Vilcabamba of the Andes Mountains.

Talking Comedy - Pete and Dud

Not really a documentary, but still... It serves as a nice reminder of the hugely funny and talented pairing of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

I downloaded a couple of these recently from a series called "Histories Greatest Myths" - must admit I've enjoyed them and well worth a watch IMHO. :thumb:
