@InuyashaKnight please don't. Something is better than nothing.

Thank you for posting this. I seem to keep on missing the start of this documentary on TV.
Personally I like Alex's comedic style - yes other people would have done it differently.
-
@InuyashaKnight, it just goes to show that you can't please everyone, perhaps this person should be allowed their gripe but then move on and let other people judge the contents for themselves.
Personally I enjoyed Alexi's somewhat lateral / personal viewpoint.
-
I love Syria too and frequently use the trains between Aleppo and Damascus. I disagree with the criticisms of Alexi Sayle. He admits his grumpiness and gives a balanced, relaxed commentary on what he observes. He clearly feels warmly to the people then and after his dance to celebrate freedom from chaotic Syria he immediately says how much he misses it. Don't take it too literally -the warmness is in his nuances.
-
But Britain has the worst trains in Europe. with powered carriages that now leads to so many cancellations of train services and who could blame him.
-
This man is the the worst documentary host! He says he has great respect for other cultures but he never shows it. For example, when he leaves Syria he jumps and dances like an idiot and says it was a dance to the gods giving thanks for getting out of Syria! A host that respects other cultures and wants to present them in the best way, would never do that... If he doesn't like trains, people, cultures, and so on he should just stay at home and pick other profession!
Syria fan from Croatia...

What a shocking display of cultural ignorance and insensitivity.
I used to admire Alexi Sayle's whimsical, comedic style but this has really shed light on his character.
I travelled this exact route by bike 2 years ago and found the people of Jordan and Syria to be exceptionally hospitable, noble and tolerant.
It's a hugely misunderstood and misrepresented part of the world that deserves some good press.
Thanks Alexi for reinforcing the ignorant stereotypes you set out to refute.
