You've got to admire the pluck of Sir Trevor McDonald.
He's reached a stage of well-earned retirement yet this veteran reporter insists on visiting the world's grittiest hotspots to expose customs and practicies for viewers back home.
His latest missive is 'The Secret Mediterranean' which follows hard on the heels of 'The Secret Caribbean'.
Sure, to us viewers, it must seem like a luxury especially since in this Age of Austerity, we're left wondering if a daytrip to Bognor will break the bank.
But be under no illusions, travelling about in the sunshine looking for secrets in the Med and the West Indies cannot be easy. So hurrah for Sir Trev - no wonder he refuses to retire. Would you?
Having said that, before he hangs up his notepad for good, perhaps he could investigate the following:
Are luxury cruise ships contributing to climate change?
Sir Trevor hops aboard the Queen to Eygpt to uncover the truth for himself. Travelling VIP class of course. But all in the name of fearless journalism.
Is the grass on the world's top golf courses organic?
Dangerous ground this. Could the likes of Tiger Wolf be competing on grass that is less than free-range?
How much of the world's petrol are cities like New York, Paris, Tokyo and Milan using?
Sir Trevor visits these gas-guzzling hotspots to see for himself the level of oil used.
Are the world's finest restaurants serving customers their 'Five a Day?
Could it be that our gastronomic geniuses are serving gourmet food rather than fruit and veg? If true, will Sir Trevor be able to stomach it?
Gold: Just why does it shine so and what makes it yellow?
Sir Trev visits Fort Knox and Abu Dabai to view for himself the metal of the sun.
