Infos

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Around the World in 80 Days is a BBC television travel series first broadcast in 1989. It was presented by comedian and actor Michael Palin. The show was inspired by Jules Verne''s classic novel Around the World in Eighty Days, in which a character named Phileas Fogg accepts a wager to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days or less. Palin was given the same deadline, and not allowed to use any kind of transportation that did not exist in Jules Verne''s time, in particular aircraft. He followed Phileas Fogg''s route as closely as possible. Along the way he commented on the sights and cultures he encountered. Palin encountered several setbacks during his voyage, partly due to the fact that he travelled with a five-person film crew, who are collectively named after Passepartout, Phileas Fogg''s Manservant.
