Скачать или смотреть Colin Thubron "Time Seen As A Road" The South Bank Show

Aired Sunday 10:45 PM Feb 09, 1992. Colin travels light through Central Asia. And as always, his route and mind works in boy scout manner. Unfortunately I bumbled and caught it on tape after halfway. But the highlights are Colin driving at sunset and at night. The soundtrack and local songs are excellent. Especially on the train, in which Colin explains why he became a travel writer. Not to "escape" but "psychic restlessness". I only wish we could have seen what happened after he crossed the Amu Darya at the end. This is were Lord Bragg shines. (During the drive at dusk Colin said the death of his sister was the end of a happy childhood yet the cut scene at his London home chimes the recorded message from his sister which clearly was his adopted sister)
