What an incredible series BBC2’s Russia With Simon Reeve is. The vastness of this country is truly mindblowing. To see how people manage to survive in its coldest, most remote parts is nothing short of miraculous. Thanks to television and intrepid explorers like Simon we can all be transported there from the comfort of our armchairs. CS Killiner, Preston, Lancs
