Naked in Dangerous Places: The Chronicles of a Hungry, Scared, Lost, Homesick, but Otherwise Perfectly Happy Traveler Book

Hilarious and well written with the skillful use of language I've come to associate with this author. This is the account of the making of the TV series in which the host is meant to appear lost in a foreign land without money or a place to stay and is thus reliant on the charity of the natives.
The schedule is very gruelling involving visiting thirty two countries in little over twelve months, taking cheap,round about flights.Not only was the author expected to host the show,but was responsible for co production,script writing, voice overs, promotions etc. The prediction of his neighbour "this is going to kill you" almost came about as he had to have a life saving operation en route!
Much of humour stems from the author's knowledge and admission of his lack of suitability for the adventurous tasks expected of him .In addition to everything else he has to cope with various allergies and phobias, all of which he relates in a very amusing and self depricating way.
We are taken to Vanuatu, "The land that trousers forgot", Lesbos, Dubai, Alaska and Kenya to name but a few.
I found there was just enough background information on each place, both geographical and historical, to make it interesting - and always entertaining and amusing, especially the footnotes
The characters are well described and come alive, both the crew members and natives met en route.
There is , of course, the added interest of insight into the filming procedure.
All in all an amusing, honest and informative account which I recommend highly.
