Mondays won’t be the same for a while as I will really miss my travels down the Amazon with the intrepid, very cheerful Bruce Parry. What a superb program ‘Auntie Beeb’ it has been. Last evening Mr Parry reached the final stretch of his epic journey and here we really see the massive destruction that is taking place in the Brazilian Rain Forest. How savage it all looked, and shockingly close to the indigenous tribes. Bruce Parry’s journey took him seven months! but we were able to see his journey in a matter of weeks and as he has now been made a ‘son’ of a badly affected tribe in a very moving ceremony, we witnessed and felt their despair. Bruce Parry covered their story so completely – it was compelling viewing.
