Edutainment! December 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This has to be one of the most entertaining and educational boxed sets ever made. Not only does it show you corners of the globe that most of us will never see but Michael Palin does it with a humour that almost everyone will enjoy. He is priveleged to meet with distinguished hosts on his travels and the insight he gives us into people's lives is truly humbling at times. My only grumble is that I would like to see some 'bloopers' as an extra (maybe they're there but I haven't found them yet). I look forward to the next series around Europe!
My most over-played dvds! October 28, 2007

Apart from the misfiring first railways series from many years ago, this series has been constantly enjoyable! But looking back now, it's not just a documentary about different people and countries, it's a way of seeing how the world has changed. BAck when he went around the world in 80 days, he and the crew really were alone. No mobile phones, no internet, not much help at all from anyone else. And it wasn't all that long ago either! This is a series which just lasts and lasts, and I love it.
Nobody expects... September 6, 2007

..or indeed should expect to glean so much pleasure from a DVD box set. I was on a training course when 80 days came out. We were supposed to bond in the evenings and I got stuck listening to somebody drone on about jubilee clips or something or other. The bar-man turned on the TV and there was Mr. Palin going about his business. I didn't even pretend to be paying attention to Mr Bore thereafter and settled down to an hour of sheer enjoyment and it has been that way ever since. I greet each new series with barely contained glee and have even marked my calendar for the New Europe series. His charming demeanour, bonhomie and never ceasing enthusiasm for an adventure rubs off seemlessly. A delight!
Fantastic! Just Fantastic! May 28, 2007

I got into Michael Palins's work during one half term when I was channel hopping and a scene from michael palin in around the world in 80 days caught my eye. Since then I've been addicted to his work. This collection here provides an easy and cheaper way of collecting all his work and watching them at your lesuire as many times as you want.
The DVD's themselves are a piece of art. Interesting, Articulate and witty, Michael provides a humorous blog of his travels, from trying to travel around the world without air travel in 80 to travelling from the north pole to the south pole without using air travel as well.
Buy this. You won't be dissapointed.
World traveller extraordinaire!! December 27, 2006

Michael Palin's has now made a successful subsequent career out of travelling the world and talking about these far-flung lands in his own intelligent, witty style. And aren't we the more beneficial for the experience! It is a privilege to hear Michael Palin relay his experiences of his travels, and luckily for us here they all are in one superb box-set. These are perfect to dip into and lose yourself in. An almost perfect Christmas present because it appeals to everyone on so many levels.
