	I enjoyed most of it and found it interesting as soon as they said we all come from one women I said to Itsmytelly that must be Eve. But I found some bits boring and felt the dragged it on abit.

	For those who were particularly interested in Eddie's trip to Pompeii, if you are near London you might like to go to 'Life and Death: Pompeii and Herculaneum at the British Museum' From 28 March 2013 to 29 September 2013

	I found last nights programme truly fascinating - Eddie is a great person for this as he has so side to him and engages with all he meets and they all seemed to appreciate his honesty. What a shame he could not get into Aden. I think Eddie is a great person and someone who I deply admire for his go to attitude - he never baulks from trying anything. Just think of the marathons he ran for Red Nose day 2 years ago. Why has he never been given an MBE etc.

	Hi Thelma, I suppose that's more a question for those who know the bible better than I do to answer. But the science of DNA showed we do all come from 'Eve', as in the first woman who was a recogniseable 'ancestor', in Africa and whose 'offspring' migrated East, West and North.

	I have not read the bible for over sixty years. So how does Eddie's journey compare?

	Unfortunately when I disconnected all the leads from my computer, as I wanted to move it, and put them back for some strange reason I can not get my speakers to work anymore otherwise I would be watching it on iplayer
