A great programme currently on TV is Trevor Mc Donald around the Med. Last night they visited the Nicosia airport and also walked/flew over the buffer zone.

Easyjet owner Stavros was on showing how he is helping to bring businesses to both sides. One car rental company is owned by a TC and a GC and their cars/service can be used on both sides. (don't know how to contact them but if was nice to see)

Great Programme - worth viewing.

Malta and Cairo was also very interesting

Filmed in 2010 but I saw it for the first time too.... most enjoyable but not too accurate.

I saw it first time round and was interested, but must say that Trevor Mcdonald could get the prize for most boring presenter!! Saw one of his Caribean episodes, could have been interesting, but he made it so dull, dull, dull!

I have OSN and it was on one of their channels (discovery I think)

They are repeated quite often. I thought it was well presented - the only thing I could complain about is that he said the Turkish 'invaded' after a Greek lead coup. Intervened would have been a better word as 'Turkey' had the legal right to intervene.

Trevor McDonald was in the North of Cyprus years ago. He came over to interview Asil Nadir and was staying at the Chateau Lambusa - he asked me to pick him up and came to Rita on the Rocks for dinner. Think he stayed here for 2 or 3 days. Was just after Nadir jumped bail in UK.
