Michael Palin's epic journey following in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg. Ten days behind schedule, Michael sails out of Shanghai on a ferry bound for Japan, where the bullet train whisks him to Tokyo. After he has a hilarious night out on the town, he has to find a shipping company willing to take him on a cargo ship across the Pacific, which is his last chance to stay in the race with his fictional rival.
