Production

During filming in China, he was continuously escorted around by government appointed officials, as many documentary makers in the country are; therefore Merton was mostly limited to what the officials wanted him to see.

While staying in a Chinese hotel, the staff were told to expect the arrival of a "Western celebrity". When Merton and his interpreter arrived at the hotel, he was greeted personally by the owner who mistakenly believed he was Paul Martin, the former Canadian prime minister; as "Martin" is Merton's real surname.
