Whether you are Muslim or not (I'm agnostic) I'm sure you will enjoy the programme. It's a great insight into the Muslim faith and reaffirms that everyone on the planet is pretty much the same!

Big Zu starts by confessing his lapses in faith, drinking smoking and womanising but then goes on to talk about Ramadan and the Hajj before visiting Mecca. Here he has a reaffirming of faith and talks about the future. He wants a wife and family and wants them to experience the Umrah. Big Zu as usual comes across as kind and thoughtful although he does have his moments.

If you enjoyed the BBC's Pilgrimage you'll enjoy this.

For many of us it provides an excellent insight to a religion we may know little about. Big Zuu's is always a genial host, but in this documentary he shows a side to him I for one knew little about. From his life with friends, but also his family and the various challenges they faced when he was a kid. Lovely to see him with his mum and brother before he sets our.

He also shows a very different side of Islam to what many of us are used to, the togetherness of those who are supporting each other both in the UK and when he arrives in Mecca, where he is clearly moved at the warmth he receives from strangers who all gather and support each other.

Hats off to him, his friends and family and the crew for making this fascinating programme.
