Michael Palin: Pole to Pole
Michael's journey along the 30-degree east line of longitude encompasses 17 countries and both hemispheres - from Greenland in the north to Kenya, South Africa and Chile in the south. Along the way communism collapses, apartheid ends, and civil wars are sparked as Michael meets Santa Claus and Lenin, goes shopping for camels in Omdurman and makes a final hectic dash to the South Pole.
