Michael Palin - Pole to Pole (3 Disc Set)
Michaels journey along the 30-degree east line of the longitude
encompasses 17 countries and both hemispheres from Greenland in the
north to Kenya, South Africa and Chile in the south. Along the way
communism collapses, apartheid ends, and civil wars are sparked as
Michael meets Santa Claus and Lenin, goes shopping for camels in
Omdurman and makes a final hectic dash to the South Pole.
The
delightful Michael Palin returns in another compelling documentary
series that takes the viewer on a global tour of the world from the cold
gaps of Greenland to the South Pole. This documentary features an
in-depth look at the various cultures of the world and truly showcases
each unique culture. With over 422 minutes, this series is for the
perfect documentary enthusiast. For those that are unfamiliar with Palin,
I suggest you check out Monty Python for some of the strangest humour to
ever hit Australia.
The
presentation of this series is 4:3 with Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo that
actually looks quite impressive on the big screen. There is also a
exclusive interview with Michael Palin on the disc on the making of this
series.
