MILLION'S POET
Million's Poet is one of the most popular tv shows in the Middle East's gulf
region. A reality televison monster now in its fourth year, the competition began
back in December and culminates in a Grand Final this month. Thousands of poets
compete across the region before live audiences, winners become household names,
and women are featuring as never before. The BBC's Dawood Azami went along to a
live recording in Abu Dhabi to discover this is a poetry competition with only
one rule - the poems must all be Nabati, a rich poetic tradition which stretches
back a thousand years.
