- ""Michael Palin celebrates the 20th anniversary of his TV classic, Around The World In 80 Days. One of the most memorable segments of Michael's famous circumnavigation was the open dhow voyage from Dubai to Bombay. Michael goes in search of that very same dhow and its captain and crew. He begins in Dubai, which has now transformed from a dusty trading port to a mini-Manhattan, and reacquaints himself with the city. His search moves to Bombay. Fortunately, the broking firm which handled Al Shama's cargo all those years ago is still in existence. Its new owner, Digant Joshi, eventually has some answers. The good news is that the captain and some of the crew are living in a village called Mandvi in Gujerat Province, north-west India. The bad news is that Al Shama sank just five months before Michael's arrival. He hastens north by rail and is delighted to discover that Mandvi is a completely unspoiled town, given over entirely to the construction of wooden dhows"--edited from ABC website."
- "Michael Palin goes in search of the crew of the wooden dhow "Al Shama", featured in his hit documentary series Around the World in 80 Days. The eight-day voyage across the Arabian Sea to Bombay filmed twenty years ago has become a TV classic. His search begins in Dubai, which has been transformed since he was last there in 1988. He soon moves on to what is now Mumbai. There, a helpful freight broker tells him what has befallen Al Shama. But there is better news of Captain Hasssan Suleyman, and Michael books himself onto the Kutch Express, which will take him far to the North, close to the Pakistani Border. There he hopes that his long search will be crowned with a reunion with men with whom he forged a special bond, and on whom his life depended twenty years ago."
