Description

A rollercoaster ride driven by the Palin hallmarks of humour, curiosity and a sense of adventure.

Michael Palin was not the BBC’s first choice for the travel series AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, but after its success, the public naturally wanted more. Palin, however, had other plans. There was his film AMERICAN FRIENDS, a role in Alan Bleasdale’s award-winning drama GBH, the staging of his West End play THE WEEKEND, a first novel, HEMINGWAY’S CHAIR, and a lead role in FIERCE CREATURES.

This third volume of Michael’s diaries delves further into his richly varied career, including the two further travel series he recorded for the BBC in the 1990s – POLE TO POLE and FULL CIRCLE – and the bestselling books he wrote to accompany their release.

The story of these ten years lived in different directions yields up riches on every page.
