Travelling from one end of the globe to the other, Palin and his team endured extremes of heat and cold as they crossed seventeen countries on trains, trucks, ships, rafts, ski-doos, buses, barges, bicycles and balloons. In this new recording, especially made for BBC Radio Collection, his vivid and humorous descriptions of their adventures will leave you wide-eyed with wonder and laughing out loud.
