Advantages: Excellent Travel Documentary

Disadvantages: Others Pale In Comparison

Around The World In 80 Days was Michael Palin's first travel documentary and easily the best.

The fact that he had not done this kind of show before coupled with the deadline imposed by Jules Verne's book gave a background of pressure to this series that has not been bettered.

Watching Michael struggle with basic travel problems, constantly worrying about the number of remaining days whilst still managing to show us the reality of the country he was visiting was truly entertaining.

Definitely one to watch again and again.
