On December 30, 2008, the BBC aired a special one-hour documentary entitled Around the World in 20 Years. In it, Michael Palin goes in search of the crew of the Al Sharma, the dhow which carried him from Dubai to Bombay (now Mumbai) some 20 years ago. After an extensive search involving the shipping company that owned Al Sharma, Palin tracks them to the city of Mandvi in Gujarat. There, Palin finds the captain of Al Sharma himself, along with five other members of the crew. Sadly, two of the original crew members had since passed away, one of them being the older man whom Palin had let listen to Bruce Springsteen on his Walkman.
