‘In the first episode, Guy charts the history of the war by riding his motorcycle down the famous Ho Chi Minh Trail, visiting a Huey helicopter graveyard at an abandoned American combat base, making his own version of the lethal weapon napalm, and coming face to face with a live cluster bomb left over from the war – which he then helps detonate in a controlled explosion.’

‘Something actually worth watching on the TV.’
