I'm having a nightmare with them at the moment. My nan is in hospital and we don't know for long so i asked Sky if i could pause the subscription. Apparently i can either drop it to £20 per month (she pays over £40) or i can cancel it giving 31 days notice. This is crazy as you pay in advance anyhow. They also want her to sign a letter to cancel, but she can't even hold a pen. No idea what to do now

Agree,
I enjoyed it....but I must admit it was more a matter of boasting to myself about all the places I had seen in person, plus firming up all the places I want to visit......

The bit with the guy and the clay was the point where several people walked out in my screening. Glad you mentioned this happened in yours as they were all sat immediately around me, so I was wondering if I have a bad case of BO !!

You must be well travelled! where was the place where the houses we built on a fan/feather type arrangement, with sea between each 'quill'?

And your BO is pretty bad

Do you mean this one - it is supposed to be palm shaped.

Not been there yet. It is not the top of my "to see" list, but if I won a holiday there I wouldn't give it away.
I have been to Jerusalem/wailing wall, pyramids/saw Tutankhamen death mask, Siq/Petra etc.

Did you recognize where the desert/mountainous area was ? - USA or Oz I thought.

Yep thats the one! very random yet impressive (much like the movie)

i hardly recognised anyof the places, i was sat really wishing they'd put little captions on some of the images so i knew where they were.

they missed a trick with the wailing wall.. it would have been awesome to team that clip up with some banging music.

the sandy mountains?

Not the sculptured sand dunes at the start and end, but about 15 mins in there was a section of a desert wilderness, but with 'mountains'. Film showed it as sun rose and then fell.
A bit like Ayres Rock type of landscape in Oz, but it didn't look as red as that region, so I didn't know if it was in the US - thinking of the landscapes/backdrops to old Western Films....
A bit like this - but it was not something I immediatelt recognised.
