Trekking – Dennis Beckett (Signed and inscribed by the author)

“Sometimes irreverent, always irrepressible – whether in print or on camera – Denis Beckett has never been known to shy away from the real issues of the day, no matter how controversial. Astonishing ratings proved the popularity of Beckett’s Trek, the television series which saw Denis roaming the length and breadth of South Africa in an endeavor to capture the spirit and scope of its citizens and the country they live in. It saw Denis, among other things, being put into prison, driving a minibus taxi, flying an air force jet and arguing with ministers. Sometimes the most interesting asides and real opinions from the people he interviewed had to end up on the cutting room floor. Trekking picks them up, dusts them off and shows us what really happened off camera, together with Beckett’s inimitable no-holds-barred commentary (with selected tangents) on the state of the nation.”
