Amol Rajan.

 The Today presenter and quizz master of University Challenge, Amol Rajan - some three years ago suffered the death of his much loved father from pneumonia. Since that day he has struggled with feeling depressed and tearful about his loss and grief. He decided therefore to go on a pilgrimage - to India and the home of his parents Hindu believe to the famous Kumbn Mela - where a staggering 500,000 pilgrims go to celebrate at the edge of the mighty river Ganges and bathe to - wash their sins away. It was a very moving programme as this non-believer and atheist - gets caught up in the energy and overwhelming sense of mission for the faithful. On balance I think he found some comfort in the experience.
