Wow--simply wow. He's the best of Globetrekker's Ian Wright and Megan McCormick, travel expert Rick Steves, sportsman Grant McOmie and even Marlin Perkins in that Palin has been there, done that...and goes a step beyond the typical camera-toting straw hat tourist and mingles like gangbusters with the locals. Language barriers? Fear of foriegn food? No problem...he merely braves the elements. I'd sure like to be in his shoes, but wouldn't ANYBODY?!??
he should have tried eskimo ice cream, it's seal blubber whipped until it creamy like whipped cream and mixed with berries. Veeeeery fish hehe. It's like a frozen fishy treat. Not for me thankyou.

Michael, you are a great actor, and also the fantastic narrator ! Love your books, docs and films. You are simply splendid!

At the end of this very first chapter, Palin sang along a Russian navy chorus... Anybody knows the name of the song they sang?

I love the idea that there are people who wouldn't exchange Diomede for anywhere else in the world. Very Palin. Full Circle was top notch.
