Despite being a Channel 5 programme, it's not on 5 on Demand.

I managed to see the 1st episode on one of those streaming websites but cannot find subsequent episodes (tried google, you tube etc).

Anyone know where I can locate?

Thanks!

PS I don't have Sky

YouTube
I watched it on there

You're doing better than me - I couldn't find it on You Tube (well, there some dodgy sites wanting registration etc ).

I will try again!

I think you were lucky - the videos seem to have been taken down by channel 5 on copyright grounds

Sounds interesting... He really went there?

Its on Britbox (new streaming service) you get a free trial. You can download the app. I watched the first episode on Britbox this evening and it was really interesting.

@managedmis - yes, he really went there! And has spoken quite a bit about his visit as well as the Television documentary .

Thank you, @Pippin2028 - I will try it this evening..

Strange it's no longer on Channel 5.

Perhaps even stranger that Channel 5, home of Big Brother etc, commissioned this documentary!

Was just going to say Britbox, watched it on there too. Is worth the free trial for it!

Aridane · 26/11/2019 06:23

Thank you - have downloaded app

Thank you again. Now watched and unsubscribed. I have a particular interest in the documentary as I am going to North Korea next year

My goodness you are brave that country and its leader scares the life out of me

We will be corralled within an inch of our lives and given clear directions on appropriate behaviour, including what not to bring I to the country. Strictly no journalists on the trip and a comprehensive briefing in Beijing the day before we head off to North Korea. And I will behave accordingly

I probably shouldn't be on this thread and I wish you all the best on your trip. I just panicked when I seen them on the news again for firing two missiles toward Japan and I am in constant panic there going to start a nuclear war

Aridane · 01/12/2019 13:19

@irrationalrainbow - I fully understand your concern and fear

OP posts:
irrationalrainbow · 01/12/2019 13:49

It's unbearable I'm in a constant state of panic every day

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 01/12/2019 17:12

Ah yes, that would explain it OP as I watched it some time ago now

Aridane · 01/12/2019 21:24

Interesting documentary . I guess he was so courteous in return for the access he was given to the country and permission to film (though to be honest I haven't seen his other travel programmes - I only know him as Monty Python!)
