BBC's Chronicles Of Nadiya gave viewers ultimate wanderlust
Nadiya Hussain continued her journey through her homeland of Bangladesh in the second and final part of her BBC show The Chronicles Of Nadiya.
Former Great British Bake Off winner proved a wonderful guide and fabulous host, first meeting a charity that provides deprived school children with meals in the capital Dhaka, then taking viewers with her as she wound her way around the country on its waterways.
Seeing Bangladesh through Nadiya's eyes was inspiring to viewers:
Once again #chroniclesofnadiya is igniting wanderlust

Loving #chroniclesofnadiya. Tempted to try to make a goat curry now and tempted to visit Bangladesh. Looks like going back in my time.

Another thing to love about #chroniclesofnadiya – you hear so little about Bangladesh normally and it's the 8th most populous country

Nadiya went exploring Bangladesh's huge number of rivers and the fishing traditions around them.
In a small Hindu village on the banks of the Padma, she found fisherman Robin who showed her his particularly unusual way of catching fish: with his family of trained otters.
Viewers loved watching the ancient method:
Already loved #chroniclesofnadiya and @BegumNadiya but otters catching fish is the telly moment of the year!
