I am very interested in Karabakh, specifically Stepankert, because that is where my grandparents met and married in the 1930s and 40s. They ended up there having escaped looming troubles in Europe (they were Polish Jews) and then left to escape Stalin after the war. I have heard about this place all my life - but never thought I would see it with my own eyes. It really meant a lot to me to see that city for myself.

PS According to my grandparents the secret to long life in the area is the yoghurt, which Simon Reeves didn't eat (on camera at least).

Absolutely awesome programme. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I want to plan a holiday to Trans-Dniester now!
Mark Farrar, Cardiff

This is first-class television. Seldom have I seen such a human take on world affairs; I feel I could never have learned so much from conventional news footage. Simon's relaxed, honest and totally natural style is just perfect. Well done and thank you for an absolutely riveting programme; I hope it very soon gets the airing it deserves on BBC One or Two.

BBC Four replies: The series will be shown on BBC Two later in the Spring.

Simon Reeve's Holidays in the Danger Zone was an excellent programme. His casual style of reporting was enjoyable and very informative.
Mrs Jeanne Barr, Rickmansworth, England

What a great insight into some of the less well known countries in the world. Well done to your reporter, Simon Reeve, who provided a safe armchair view of these different and uncertain worlds. I'm looking forward to the next programme.

I enjoyed Holidays in the Danger Zone but was frustrated at the lack of context given to places visited. What language did they speak, population, size of country, introductory history? A good two or three minutes were wasted on last night's programme with the presenter and interpreter looking at the cars of an ousted leader of Azaria. I liked the presenter's style, but given that we're never likely to see these places again on TV (unless there's a massive war there) it was a wasted opportunity not to give some basic context. This could have been done with the use of subtitles or graphics if the producers didn't want to take up too much time on the subject. In any case, I look forward to the next series... Kurdistan, Aceh, Tamil Sri Lanka, or places like the Basque Country, Montenegro, Kosovo or Faroe Islands, which have recognised governments but which could very soon become fully-fledged nation states. Why wait for a war to happen before the BBC takes interest in different nationalities and cultures?

I wish to complain about this programme transmitted on Tuesday evening. I am reading In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz, an excellent analysis of the rise and fall of Mobutu in Zaire. Last night however I accidentally caught the start of Simon Reeve's report on Somaliland. 90 minutes later I switched off the TV. His three reports were all excellent and his personable presentation and equally amusing guides made this compulsive viewing. It delayed my return to Zaire/DRC but was time well spent. Is there more to come?

BBC Four replies: This is the sort of complaint we like! Part two is on Wednesday 2 February at 9pm.

I caught the programme purely by chance and enjoyed it from beginning to end. I will be tuning in tomorrow for the conclusion. It's programmes like these that make BBC Four the special channel it is - you don't hear a terrible amount from it but if you do tune in, you always find a gem. Keep up the good work and keep making these wonderful programmes.

Simon Reeve replies: Many thanks for the comments on this page. I'm delighted to know people seem to have enjoyed the series and found it interesting. In response to Sion's point about a lack of context, I can only say that it's a very difficult balance to achieve. We tried to make a series about fairly obscure countries in a way that viewers would still find interesting and watchable. Because the series is for transmission on both BBC Four and mid-evening on BBC Two, I didn't want to overload viewers with facts and statistics, simply because many people might switch channels. Instead we tried to strike a balance between information, travel, serious issues, tourism and humour - so the series appeals to a wide audience. That way more people find out about amazing places like Somaliland. But of course I accept we won't get it right all of the time! Even so, I'm really pleased to hear that Sion would like to see another series. I'll start looking for my passport...
