Yes, it was a pity – the BBC programme was interesting, and had some memorable moments, but I think they lost touch a little bit with the detail… and the focus…

I see you also spotted the Beeb’s Gaza error on Kate Humble’s journey: ” this is the map the BBC have drawn to illustrate the route. That diamond at the top is the ancient port of Gaza – but, as I’m sure must be known to BBC TV executives, Gaza is not an Israeli city. A simple question: where on this map is Palestine?” I wrote to them about it, but got no reply. BIG mistake.
