| Michael Palin Pole To Pole |
Michael travels from the north pole to the south pole along 30 degrees of latitude. If you haven't watched any of Michael Palin's travel programs you missing on on a unique form of film making.
In this documentary sires Michel meets Santa in lapland travels through communist Russia just before the velvet revolution that destroyed communism in Russia. Its worth watching just to see the struggle he has buying a bottle of vodka in the state owned super market. Traveling further south Michael represents Watford when he travels through its twin city and endures a strange ceremony laid on just for him. The BBC researchers place Michael in ever stranger situations with almost perverse pleasure as sires rolls on A Turkish Bath and ever dilapidated forms of transport and its all taken with typical python humour its a joy to watch and a shop shot of the time it was film and the world as it used to be.
