    Hugely entertaining and educational...

    Michael Palin sets out recreate the Journey by fictional Phileas Fogg, to travel around the world in eighty days using only land and sea.

    Michael has the knack of injecting his pythonesque humor into any situation throughout the series, on what was quite clearly a very difficult journey to undertake.

    The series is based upon Michaels own personal diaries made throughout the journey and is intended to be a warts and all documentary, highlighting not only the many achievments but also the many setbacks encountered along route.

    The pack consists of 3 DVDs containing seven 50 minute programes plus a post shooting interview with Michael. The picture quality whilst still very good is not quite up to normal DVD standards, and the sound track is recorded in mono (hence four not five stars).

    These minor short comings should not deter you from buying this fantastic series at all.
