Michael Palin: Pole to Pole

Join Michael Palin and go Pole to Pole in seven amazing hours. Palin, whose global adventures may someday eclipse his pioneering comedy as part of the Monty Python troupe, treks to 17 countries on two continents—from Greenland in the north to Chile in the south—and then wins another BAFTA® Award! Along the way, the delightful globetrotter and comic commentator has a great time encountering the most interesting people, places and situations. And so will you! He travels the Black Sea on a Soviet-registered steamer while Communism is collapsing on land. In Africa, he rides a rattletrap train, where the less-thanappetizing entrée is a very spiny fish. He shops in a Sudanese camel market, and witnesses the bloody end of apartheid in South Africa. After meeting Santa Claus, he makes a final hectic dash to the South Pole. Extras include an exclusive interview with globe-trekker extraordinaire Michael Palin.
