BUCKLE up for a trip to Turkey like you've never experienced. With the help of Sara Pascoe and Amar Latif the travel show is like no other.
Here's how you can watch the one off documentary...
When is Travelling Blind on TV?
Travelling Blind is on TONIGHT ( March 7, 2019.)
You can catch the show on BBC2 at 8pm in an hour-long episode.
But don't fret if you miss it, the one-off documentary will be available to watch on iPlayer after broadcast.
What is it about?
The documentary follows blind adventurer and director Amar Latif and comedienne Sara Pascoe as they discover Turkey.
Sara acts as Amar's 'eyes' on the excursion - describing the scenery - as they both experience all that the country has to offer.
And Amar's heightened senses help Sara appreciate things that are going on around her that she may not have otherwise noticed.
Like when he encourages the funnywoman to really listen to the sound of millions of bees at a beehive or take in the atmospheric scents of Isanbul's Grand Bazaar.
The documentary makes for a stimulating and multisensory exploration of Turkey and may even leave you wanting to put down your camera and really experience your surroundings on your next trip.
