globe by now, but not so: he's managed to find a

his latest jaunt for the BBC. Here the format,
established originally in his Phileas
Fogg-inspired Around the World in 80 Days, remains
unchanged: always affable, seemingly unflappable,
Palin journeys through the various countries along
the world's greatest mountain range, getting
friendly with everyone he meets and offering
gently witty, gently affectionate observations on
the customs and cultures he encounters. From the
Khyber Pass through dangerous territory along the
Pakistan-Afghanistan border, via Nepal then up
into Tibet to Everest and down into China, and
finally to Bangladesh, Palin is, as ever, unfazed
by whatever the world has to throw at him, be it
chaotic bull-racing in Peshawar, the threat of
kidnap by Maoist rebels in Nepal, Tibetan Yak
herding, or rafting down the Yangtze. Even if both
the once indefatigable traveller and the programme
format itself seem a little tired at times (in
Palin's case probably a side-effect of the high
altitudes), the trek still provides manna from
heaven for armchair travellers.   On the DVD:
There are two hour-long episodes on each disc,
accompanied by a series of extended scenes which
are accessed separately. Palin provides a brief
introduction, filmed before he began his journey.

Review of Himalaya With Michael Palin DVD by gollum3273

Advantages: Amazing scenery, facinating
Disadvantages: Is there any?

Himalaya - Michael Palin I am reviewing this 3 disc set on DVD, obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be a disc set. There are some extras on this DVD, they are: - Exclusive Pre-Trip Introduction on all three discs Extended Scenes Scene selection, There is over 90 minutes of Bonus Footage on this DVD It is rated 12, as there is moderate sexual detail. Running time approx 352 minutes. Also with subtitles, in English. Series producer & Director ...
...a fantastic view of the Himalaya mountains. Well as you can guess from the title it is about the journey of one man, Michael Palin, who at his age is remarkably fit, and needed to be to go on this amazing journey. Rather than list all the separate titles of each scene that are on the DVD, I will try to explain what is so amazing about this DVD. After watching this for the third time, I am still amazed at the sheer will power of Michael Palin, ... Read review
