A treasure hunt in Afghanistan? I ought to have had my head examined for even considering it. Instead I went to the Afghan embassy and got visas. Legend has it that Ahmad Shah Durrani, the first king of Afghanistan, hid the treasure in a cave. Its estimated value is $500bn (£246bn). Tahir's link to this is his Afghan ancestry. It is a long-held family tradition to search for this treasure. He even inherited a notebook from his grandfather that contained clues to its possible locations.
Our German co-producer, Willi Waschull at ZDF, contacted the German International Security Assistance Force and asked if our mission was possible. Their answer was a plain no. Undeterred, we decided to make a recce trip, just to see what it was like. Tahir, director David Flamholc (my son) and I planned to travel overland from Delhi to Kabul, the route of the treasure caravan. On 18 July we were rounded up by Pakistani military police in Peshawar and jailed for 16 days. In retrospect I cannot understand why we didn't fold right there and then.
