It is a fantastic watch. Particularly when Alan's wife sees her husbands wrapped and mummified body, very touching indeed.
I need to learn how to watch overseas programming in the states....
This program was great. It was really strange when they had the Alan's voice talking whilst showing his body being prepared.

I agree and the whole programme was a little surreal. But oddly comforting. You can see why mummification was emotionally attractive (and probably still would be) for many people. It's irrational but very human.
