egypt's valley of the kings — perhaps the most famous archaeological site in the world. and this has been a landmark year at the burial chamber many people make a beeline for. exactly 100 years ago, the tomb of the boy king tutankhamun was discovered underneath the desert close to the town of luxor. the team had been digging for years and were right on the verge of giving up when the top of a set

of ancient steps appeared in the sand. and lo and behold, this is what they saw. i mean, look at it. incredible. absolutely astonishing. the find was a sensation in 1922 and made headlines around the world. however, many say the egyptian contribution to all this has been overlooked. and i'm on my way to hear some of that story. the abdul rasoul family run a cafe these days, but generations of them have farmed along the banks of the nile and as such, have an intimate knowledge of what lies on and underneath the dust and sand. so this is the 12—year—old boy that they said really discovered the tomb.

nubi claims it was actually his father who first found the tomb of tutankhamun. ahmed abdel rasoul was just a child at the time.

while the egyptians clearly played a huge part in the discovery, the persistence of howard carter and the money of his wealthy aristocratic backer were also vitally important to the success. now the desire is for both parts of that story to be recognised and told. all these tourists here, all the people who are here, what do you think they believe? do you think they still believe the older version, or do you think they're gradually being told something which is more in tune with what you think? no, i think they carry the same old beliefs because all of their programmes would only focus on ancient egypt, nothing on the many other layers of egyptian heritage. that's one thing. and the other thing is that the whole what got them in here is this colonial narrative. it's not the narrative that we need to reshape. are you at least hopeful that in the future that might change, that the small children across the world will get a better understanding of all this? yes, i hope so. i hope so. and this can only come

when acknowledging the colonial history that made ancient egypt the way it is imagined today. we need to acknowledge this first and then move on from there. well away from the big archeological sites, there are a whole bundle of things to do in egypt. and here are some of the highlights. for beach breaks, the red sea coast's got a string of well developed resort towns that have been popularfor years. sharm el sheikh is probably the best known, especially after recently hosting the cop climate talks. for something quieter, though, you could try a makadi bay near hurghada. long, white sandy beaches without the crowds and clubbers. the whole stretch of coastline has crystal clear seas and thriving coral reefs so divers love it. turtles, spinner dolphins, manta rays and dugongs

are the big stars here. one of the other highlights is the sunken british cargo steamship ss thistlegorm, hit by german bombers in 1941. 200 divers a day now explore the wreck near the town of ras mohamed. now, with the festive season well under way, there's one british pastime that keeps the flights burning bright during those long winter nights. and that's the christmas panto. we're in glasgow, where scotland's premium pantomime dame is treading the boards in her 25th panto season. why not? brilliant. it's basically a good night out, which is the most important thing on a good afternoon, full of laughs and joy, a sort of headstone to a traditional

fairy tale love story. it's usually kids' first experience with theatre, so we saw a gateway, if you like. there's hundreds of years of tradition in panto from audience participation... they shout. oh, yes, they will. ..to a whole host of stock characters. a panto dame was generally a man dressed as a woman, and that allowed men to come out and do really outrageous impersonations of women. it's quite unusual to be a woman playing it. i'm one of very few allowed to. maybe in the past, women are being forced into being the more glamourous type. and my thing is, it's not about whether you're man or woman,

it's the type of performer you are. if you can break through and to the audience and say, i'm about to make a fool of myself, come with me. we couldn't find a petrol station. we ended up wandering through this barren, desolate wasteland. where was it? i think it was paisley. it's a great quote by a wonderful panto performer, jerry kelly, who i worked with here many times. pantomime is a celebration of local culture. we've set this in clydeside, which is, you know, obviously glasgow, but making it local, having all those references in it and making it of the place that generally the audience are from. it's a big business across the uk. pre—pandemic theatres sold around three million panto tickets a year. and glasgow has a special affection for it. among the dozens of venues staging a production is this wee treasure hidden above an amusement arcade.

you're in the britannia panopticon music hall. it's the oldest surviving original music hall in the world. music halls basically places where the working classes used to go when they finish their working day to be entertained by dancers, singers, novelty acts, contortionists, high wire acts, you name it. music halls were one of the places where you would see a pantomime. pantomime was the only sort of theatre that was like variety, all in the one production. glasgow has a long standing theatre tradition. a recent poll found it was one of the british cities with the most theatres outside london. and back when the panopticon opened in the 1850s, working class glaswegian audiences were already developing a bit of a reputation. stanley baxter actually wrote about the music hall

in his own bedside book, and he actually said that they left no turn unstoned. they had spent money to get in here. if the act on that stage was not good enough, believe me, they knew about it. boys used to urinate from the front of the balcony onto the stage to hit the act on the stage below. you had men in the back of the auditorium throwing shipyard rivets, nails, punches, screws. they became popular with the famous acts because if they could get away with it on the stages in glasgow, they could get away with their routine anywhere in the world. luckily, things have quietened down a bit since then, but glasgow audiences are still a famously lively bunch. for me, if i was going to go and see panto, i'd come here because of the audience. in glasgow there is a great tradition of audiencesjoining in. sometimes whether you want it or not! right, sadly, that's

us done here in luxor, butjoin me next week when we look back at the best bits of 2022 of the travel show a, year when we can finally say we hit the road again. and if you just can't wait for that, you'll find loads of great travel bits and pieces from around the bbc on social media. right, that's it from me here in luxor, i'm going have a mint tea and a bit of a lie down in the shade. hello. as this cold snap comes to an end, we have some really unpleasant

during the course of sunday, a risk of hazing —— freezing rain, it will be unpleasant as we see this transition from the freezing cold we have across the country right now and the much milder air which will spread in with wind and rain, reaching the very tip of cornwall and devon, early hours of sunday morning, but you can see elevator widespread frost and rural temperatures will be a lot lower than these inner—city values. through the morning into the afternoon, the weather front —— there is a risk of freezing rain across northern england, an amber warning in force, across northern england, an amber warning inforce, hill across northern england, an amber warning in force, hill snow in places as well, a horrible day for some of us, temperatures struggling to get above freezing in some spots but quickly turning much milder here in the south—west during the day.
