Michael Palin's Pole to Pole: At the North Pole

[JSprayaEntertainment]

why isnt the north pole on any maps of the world?

[chloekat3]

coool!! i thought the north pole was a place rather than a pole anyway lol.

[obaidCarkey]

13 hours from the morth pole just to spitsbergen?--long way indeed!

[PvZMakerStudioZ]

santa?

[454ffv]

so wheres santa and his twenty years of my delayed presents?

[Pianoguy32]

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

Santa is chillin with god at the South Pole. He only hangs out at the North Pole during Christmas season

[FredFredBurger53]

This is definitely fake, where's santa?

[dacutegirl1]

this has to be fiction, because his statements in gravity aren't right

[acquiesce100]

Michael is a legend - such a calming voice!

[SCE2AUX]

Ironically, it begins and ends in an Otter.

[sean2010taprawn]

Pole to Pole with Michael Palin is the best journey in the world, I've watched it so many times and it always interests me

[bowman2061]

have the complete series ... but uploading is like begging for being banned from youtube.

[sandydogy]

no I think uploading this will make people interested to watch and if people like it enough they will buy thats how I am with things I like

[andersdrakkar]

@sandydogy That's how I came to buy three seasons (at the moment) of Hogan's Heroes. Because I live in Spain, there is basically no good stuff on the television now. Thanks to You tube I've been discovering good stuff!

[DisneylandWalt]

I remember watching this in class!

[scrog77]

I love Micheal Palin,he's one in a million:)

[heylookwhoshere]

13 hours? Wow that brutal!

[lithkitty]

you rock Michael! ;)I'm working a bit on a traveling show myself,but with 1 person,1small camera and the world, it's not going to be as good as Palin's :D

[MT12XD]

c'mon where's the hole???

[ericlee321]

Now i knew how the north pole looks like.

[Cae70]

Quite possible that he just flew around Svalbard, because the landing scene is at Longyearbyen.

[momberbomber]

Wrong. Why would the BBC charter a Canadian registered aircraft if they were just going to fly around Svalbard?  Plus I know the pilot. They were really there.

[killacobra20]

cool?

[porn1978]

whats the lowest temperature it get there?

[yeti77]

LOL the chances that they actually landed the plane at the pole are very unlikely.I think they just filmed a segment close to the pole and said it was the pole. It is very hard to find a suitable landing area on that ice up there. you need a landing strip built and maintained by an ice camp . The ice breaks so frequently no matter what time of year it is and creates hummocks or pressure ridges that you can't just decide to land at the north pole anytime you feel like it.

[mrsdylan77]

I know it seems easier to say you were there and not go but I read his book and in it he says it took a long time to find a capable spot and when they did, they didnt stay long. what would be the point of saying it and not doing it- that is just not like michael palin.

[scrog77]

yeti77, he did land there ! like many others(thats why they made precautions beforehand). Also look up 'Top Gear'(Polar special) ,its not hard these days.They did it with a car :)

[tonester08]

Top gear didn't actually go to the georaphic North Pole as the geographic North Pole is in the sea. They actually went to the 1996 magnetic North Pole, which was situated in Northern Canada.

[scrog77]

But it's still one of the two north poles. Magnetic(wich by the way changes every day) or geographic, so yes they did!:)

[breakerexpress]

Amazing footage of the North Pole.

[trmania]

Better him than me.

[JKx]

you can watch the whole of pole to pole at tvlinks :)

[daddycrockett23]

Hooray for the BBC-we've got nothing like it in the US.God Save the Queen!

[tommyblunt]

go america

[nakifairy]

Michael Palin rocks! my fave python, and he seems to be an all round good guy :)

[DoctorTchock]

Is this the same Palin from Monty Python?

[JuJuHound]

yep.

[DoctorTchock]

amazing. there's cleese doing third rate comedies, and palin's doing whatever the hell he wants. he was always my favorite cast member of monty python

[BethGoth15]

I'm reading this at the moment. Michael is GI Joe GORGEOUS!!! (Please don't ask where I got GI Joe gorgeous from!)

[DrRobDammet]

I love you Prokkets! Could you find a more inappropriate place to worship the failure Bush? Do you think we are still debating WITH you? We are now debating ABOUT you. A debate isnt between experts and those who disagree with experts, so please post your propaganda at QTube, where conservatives can fight it out amongst themselves. Thank you.

[USALawyer]

This guy is my favorite Python. I have been watching him since 1970.

[califunk2121]

That's How It Looks Everyday In Winter Where I Live In Alaska

[sean2me]

That in no way looks like where I currently reside, in Arizona.  But does look a lot like a few places I have lived in Canada.
