Simon in Equator… exotic travel series

HE’S called the modern-day Marco Polo. And Simon Reeve doesn’t mind the title at all because his amazing journeys are taking him across continents, over oceans and mountains in search of newer lands and people.

In Equator on (September 30 at 5.40 pm) BBC World, Simon Reeve sets out on his extraordinary 25,000-mile journey around the Equator. In the three-part series he travels across Indonesia where he encounters paradise islands undiscovered by tourists and an environment under threat.

It is a collection of 18,000 islands which are home to more than 220 million people. At night the islanders sing of lost loves and the lure of working on the mainland.

Heading east through Borneo, he arrives in a village where tribal people offer to adopt him. Not wanting to appear rude, Simon accepts, and the next day he adheres to a local custom by giving his new "father" a fine pair of trousers. He is then blessed with chicken blood, presented with a short sword and "adopted".

Watch the fascinating series as Simon Reeve traverses across some of the most unheard of places.
