Travelling the Silk Road
Two thousand miles across
China by steam train, road and even camel. That's the journey John Craven makes as he follows the fabled Silk Route from the Heavenly
Mountains, across the Gobi Desert, to the recently discovered tombs of the terracotta warriors. In the first visit to China by Children's Television, John goes to places which have been banned to western visitors since the country became communist in 1949. And along the way, he meets some of the people who make up the world's largest nation. Cameraman STEVE MORRIS Sound BILL NORMAN
