Written by David Howarth. Introduced by David Attenborough from the Royal Geographical Society

It was a lunatic idea. Dressed as an Arab while boasting he was a Christian there was little hope for him. The fierce nomads of the desert would surely kill Charles Doughty on sight. But this strange and intense Englishman was determined to try to reach the Holy City of Mecca, religious capital of the Moslem Empire. His journey was a catalogue of appalling suffering. Many times he nearly perished. Years later Lawrence of Arabia was to report that since his journey Doughty had become something of a Bedouin legend. The Arabs told tales of him. He had become history in the desert.

The Royal Ballet in KENNETH MACMILLAN'S Elite Syncopations
This witty and colourful modern ballet, to the ragtime music of Scott Joplin and his contemporaries, proved particularly popular with the audiences that packed the Tent in Battersea Park during the Royal Ballet's season there, earlier this summer.
It is one of the new works created by Kenneth Macmillan especially for the company, since becoming its director in 1970.
