Full Circle With Michael Palin

Travel 50,000 miles around the Pacific Rim with Michael Palin. His entertaining wit and incredible capacity to experience the unknown, guides you FULL CIRCLE around the globe along the Pacific rim from Alaska, through Russia, Japan, China, Vietnam, Australia, South America and Mexico. But these things never quite go according to plan....
He negotiates the icy waters of the Bering Strait, visits Eskimos, and drums with the famed Kodo Drummers on their remote island of Sado. He braves the wrath of communist officials in China and Vietnam, first sleeping in Mao's bed, then setting up a game of cricket in Hanoi. He continues his journey around the Pacific Rim by island-hopping in the South Pacific in a Filipino ferry and dropping in on the "Desperate and Dateless" charity ball Down Under. Crossing the International Date Line, our interpid adventurer travels up the length of South America, from Cape Horn to Santiago and beyond. He encounters isolated Indian tribes and a masked wrestler from Mexico City named "Super Barrio" on his last dash to Alaska to complete the circuit of his travels.

    Informative, impartial, yet funny

    From the moment the series starts in Diomede, looking out across the Baring Straight waters to Russia, from America, you know it's going to be interesting series, well presented , informative, funny yet impartial. Quick witted - Palin has the ability to guide you from place to place, Country to Country having your total concentration, contrasting 5 star luxury, with the most basic forms of living, he seems relaxed whatever his enviroment, and whatever their nationality. Excellent dialogue/footage. BBC at its Best.

    Swine

    Damn that man for his travels. I just want him to make something I can't watch! Only Around The World In 80 Days and Pole To Pole are better, and considering they occupy the top two places on the all time greatest travelogues ever undertaken, it leaves little to the imagination how good this man is at producing thoroughly watchable travel TV. Don't mess about, rent it...
