Description

The complete story of Michael Palin’s circumnavigation of the world in under eighty days – with air travel totally forbidden! In 1989 Palin recreated the famous voyage made in 1873 by Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s epic Around the World in 80 Days. This 10-part BBC documentary featured Palin using only the modes of transport available to the novelist’s intrepid traveller. Palin proved to be the most amiable travelling companion imaginable, which helped to make this series an unmissable television event.
