** The Lost Road - Overland to Singapore **
David Attenborough recalls a 1955 road trip across Asia. 
Sunday 30 October, 9.45pm BBC Four

 The Lost Road
Overland to Singapore

A car journey with a difference as those involved in a madcap expedition to drive halfway round the world in 1955 look back at their exploits. Involved in the project was a young TV producer, none other than David Attenborough, who was persuaded to provide the equipment to record the journey.

The team travelled in twin Land Rovers, going through areas such as a peaceful Beirut, Iran, Nepal, India and Burma, much of it now unrecognisable from what was recorded on film at the time. 
Using the original footage, the 50th anniversary of this incredible journey is celebrated by Sir David and those who took on the daring trip.
