The Guide: Television Wednesday 1: Watch This

ANDREW MUELLER, JOSS HUTTON AND RICHARD VINE
Holidays In The Danger Zone: Places That Don't Exist
7.30pm, BBC2
This final instalment of Simon Reeve's survey of the world's
non-nations visits Nagorno-Karabakh, an unruly slice of the Caucusus
whose restless natives harbour ambitions of setting up the world's
least spellable country in between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This is
potentially fascinating, but this episode suffers, like the rest of
the series, from an apparent assumption that the audience has no
attention span at all. Reeve is engaging, but never manages to build a
coherent narrative -instead, we get an unrelated series of
occasionally interesting observations that feels like watching
someone's randomly sorted holiday snaps. AM
