Cruickshank

CruickshankDan Cruickshank presents a programme on BBC 2 called Around The World In Eighty Treasures. In it, he visits 80 of the world's greatest historic monuments. It's excellent TV, but one of the treasures is the man himself. Scrambling around various parts of the world, viewers do not see him without his obligatory notebook and hat. So far he's been touring hot countries and can be seen with a sweat-drenched shirt and scarf-encassed neck, breathlessly describing his treasures.

As well as selecting the obvious (ie, the Taj Mahal), he also goes in for the more obscure. He shunned the Empire State Building for an obscure glass-fronted buidling.
