Michael Palin: Into Iraq Tuesday, 9pm, Channel 5

Sir Michael Palin goes to one of the most-dangerous countries in the world for his latest Channel 5 series, Michael Palin: Into Iraq.

Now aged 79, Palin fell in love with Iraq after his father gave him a copy of The Arabian Nights when he was a child. But the magical place he read about in his youth has more recently been defined by war and conflict and labelled as part of an axis of evil.
