Mummifying Alan - Egypts last Secret.
Discussion
Really annoyed with myself for falling asleep with about 15 minutes to go!!
Not that it was boring by any stretch of the imagination
On the contrary, it was a magnigicent piece of work and a refreshing reminder that in amongst the all-pervasive, brain-numbing reality shows are the gems of actual reality.
A fabulously detailed, intimate and dignified program.
Godspeed TutanAlan, here's a glass (ok a coffee, as it's morning and work) to you

I got the impression Alan was a true diamond of a guy.
The mummy idea was probably hatched in the pub, and nobody thought he'd go through with it. Alan would show them!
Bet his family and mates (whilst a bit sad) were laughing when they watched that programme, and that's all Alan wanted.
RIP chap, and well done.

Thought the documentary was very informative, But I found the "Body Farm" place a little weird. 
The Body Farm is absolutely fascinating (if a little bit whiffy). There are all sorts of bodies left in all sorts of places/in cars/under tarps/in shallow graves to build up a database of decomposition, which helps forensic pathologists and forensic archaeologists learn about the processes of decay and colonisation by animals/plants/fungus etc.
All the bodies used are donated by volunteers. It's cutting edge research that's assisted in several successful us prosecutions. It's a recognised work leader in the field.
