Is that the one when he knocked seven bells out of Turkeys relationship with the K's plus the fact that Turkey is third bottom for recycling , only Afghanistan and Pakistan being lower. He seemed to have a Marmite relationship with Turkey didn't he, loved some aspects and disliked others. The photography was wonderful.

How all has gone down the sink since then and wasn't good when first broadcasted!

Agree. The Mediterranean one he he did a few years ago was good too. It featured North Cyprus.
I am currently listening to his new audio book, journeys to impossible places. Very good so far. He has a soft spot for visiting countries that have been dealt a harsh deal and are unfairly unrecognised by other countries.

Watched the first part today. I believe it gives a fair indication of what’s in store for NC unless there is some sort of settlement between the 2 parties on the island. If they remain under Turkey’s wing there will be increased religious interference and fewer liberties such as free speech. Even more grandiose mosques will spring up all over the country and religious schools will open.
Unfortunately the TC’s are between a rock and a hard place and are gradually being replaced by Turkish immigrants with the effect that their influence is being nullified.
In my opinion.

I watched this last week but saw it was first aired in 2017 Quite a bit has changed since them I imagine especially in respect of North Cyprus.
