His other stuff has always been the perfect blend of informative, challenging and entertaining. Fingers crossed for more of the same.

Human exploitation ...

At least the Syrians think they will go home one day.

A canny way to deal with refugees that.

A prison they are not desperate to leave and filter off the educated younger ones.

Always enjoyable. I loved his 'Meet The Stans' shows.

Sean Langan is excellent too if you can catch one if his documentaries.

The Turkish treatment of refugees is first class. We should hang our heads in shame for our bigoted NIMBY approach.

Thought the branching out of Turkish resorts to "Halal" very interesting too. Good Entrepreneurism.

Excellent, maybe the Turkish tourist board could use that one!
Yes the programmes were very good, although I'm not sure you would of got me in that home made cable car!

Indeed. Is it too cynical to say that the EU is washing its hands of the problem by paying Turkey to deal with it (and thereby avoiding stoking the current nationalist/ populist sentiment spreading across the major EU countries)

except that Turkey could be treating them like this because they are being paid to do it, and refugees are suppossed to seek refuge in the closest country anyway, so all round it makes sense.

Is this the better way to handle it, as I assume that the refugees would want to return to Syria if it eventually became a safe(r) place again?

Only just caught up with the second episode.

Truly brilliant television. At once challenging, amusing and informative.

Can't wait for this now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2017/16/colombia-with-simon-reeve

Colombia.
