networkonair.com/coming-soon/3300-journey-of-a-lifetimeUnseen for decades, Journey of a Lifetime is a series of programmes filmed in the early 1960s throughout Israel and Jordan. It shows Ann and John, a young, newly-married couple, rediscovering the past through their discovery of the present – while visiting such famous places as the Dead Sea, Nazareth, Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee, Petra, Bethlehem, Samaria, Jericho, Emmaus, Judaea and the River Jordan. Through their journey of discovery and enchantment the couple see for themselves the holy places that Ann's faith has always made real for her while John, who keeps an open mind, finds that much which he considered miraculous and unlikely could well have happened. Filmed in colour, the series was only ever transmitted on ABC in black and white and has been newly transferred from the original 35mm Eastmancolor negatives especially for this release. Part travelogue, part history lesson and part reaffirmation of one's personal faith, this is an absorbing series for the whole family – it does not preach, but has a message for those who wish to listen.

Amazing news, I didn't think that would ever see the light of day in the present climate but is now a chance to see the Middle East in more innocent times.
John Bonney's daughter in Australia was desperately seeking this out a few years ago.
Thames TV in its early days did transmit it in colour without any fanfare just as a morning or late night filler.
Produced by the team that made 'Time to Remember' a benchmark 20th historical doc series that has been robbed of ever since for modern docs.

AFAIK 1970 was its last transmission year before it was packed off into obscurity. Time to Remember was often shown in the afternoons early 70s and then again by Channel 4 in the 1980s
