    Trevor McDonald's Secret Caribbean - shameful

    I was so looking forward to this mini series, having just spent 5 months sailing around the Caribbean islands.  What a massive disappointment.  I involuntarily cringed at Sir Trevor's servile "ever so humble" and "trying to please" approach to people, especially with Richard Branson and David Copperfield, and gasped with embarrassment as he stumbled along like he was a total amateur.  He went to the most fabulous islands and showed us very little of them - his lack of inquisitiveness and dare I say it personality made it the most boring and dull program ever.  There was a total lack of information too.   I grimaced when he said to India (granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten, Viceroy of India), as if finally resolving a huge puzzle that had mystified people since the beginning of time, something like "oh - so it was a conscious decision then, to name you India?" to which she nodded (no doubt thinking Thanks Sir Trevor, for solving that mystery for us, I had no idea where my name came from).  Well, DUH Sir Trevor. Wouldn't you say that's sort of obvious??   I can't believe that this program was aired as it was absolutely pathetic.  Stick to reading the news Sir Trevor and leave documentaries and travel shows to those who know how to do them properly.  What a waste of money - give me a good camera, a small budget, and I will show you the REAL and INTERESTING  and BEAUTIFUL Caribbean.
