Pole to Pole

Michael Palin, star of Monty Python and A Fish Called Wanda, is racing against time from North to South Pole in a globetrotting docu-travel series of comic proportions. He's actually dodging polar bears, consulting witch doctors, watching his luggage melt in the African sun. He's riding dog sleds, camels, dugout canoes. It's a mad attempt to catch a boat in South Africa that travels once a year to Antarctica. No flying aloud in this video series. It's funny, but it's real-life!
