Six Degrees- the new travel series on TV

Has anyone watched this on TV?
It has just started few week back in India and I'm loving it.

Six Degrees is a travel series from Lonely Planet and is being telecasted on Discovery's Travel & Living Channel.

Lonely Planet Six Degrees explores some of the world’s most happening cities by connecting with the people who live in them. Avoiding the well known tourist sights, each journey begins with a traveller arriving in a new city with just a single point of contact.
Travellers go around the cities with the locals and live days like a local. meet his/her friends, family, gets into the local system.
I've seen the episode on Havana and Mumbai. I liked the one on Havana.

More about Six Degrees is on their website Here

When I travel to a new place I like to 'Feel' the place and experience the life of a local.
What's your style of travelling?

Wasn't there something earlier on this line? I remember some of the participants and also remember thinking that knowledgable countries might be justified in refusing them visas..

Oops, I don't remember reading anything on this on IM.
Sorry if its a duplicate post. In India the series has just started, so its new for us.
BTW, why 'knowledgable' countries would refuse visa to the crew and presenters?

I purchased the Mumbai episode on DVD a while ago.The photography was great (it was in India after all) and editing tight but the female presenter was a bit annoying and innapropriate at times.But as she's also a babe probably all will be forgiven,by the male viewers anyway.
