Losing flavor

The oldest British man ever to ascent Mt Everest did so today. So, in his honor, the BBC has a bunch of little reports on the region and the mountain. The correspondent makes a nice 3 minute video of a 12 day trek to base camp. There is no way that I could condense my experiences into 3 minutes -what is he thinking? Doesn't he want his viewers to experience the smells, sights, sounds and sweat with him? I guess that doesn't make for good footage, but then again, perhaps that's why I'll never be a good travel correspondent.
