Was looking forward to this as both Turkey and Ottoman Empire are little covered. There are many opportunities to discuss past and present day Turkey through the places visited. Alice Roberts has done some good archaeological focussed programmes previously but had nothing of interest to say here unfortunately- not even at the anecdotal level. I don't really know why there was not more in depth discussion of the sites visited. And for train travelogues - she needs to learn from Portillo and perhaps focus on an interesting story or person to move it along. Overall lack of focus, what a shame as it could have been fascinating.
