  • ahh, that man with michaels headphones on is great.

  • The parting is very touching. It's always hard to say goodbye to new friends with whom you've shared recent tribulations. Human beings can be so wonderful when we choose to be.

  • @smashinova He's also around family too & he'd probably been on ships for 20 yrs before that, seen enough of the world.

  • Anyone recognize the song he played on the Walkman for Kassim?

  • @SlowJoman The scene were he shows the guy the life preserver is also pretty good, around 18:56.

  • @frithar The rules that Palin had to adhere to were that he would travel only by land & water, no airplanes. His film & sound crew were not allowed to accompany him across the Arabian peninsula so he rented a car & was allowed to travel w/one of the crew. The rest of the crew were permitted to fly from Jeddah to Dubai.

  • LOVE the looks from the crew as Palin pumps up the air mattress! LOL

  • I can;t help but think that driving a car for so much isn;t quite in the spirit of Jules Verne...Did I miss where that complication was explained?

  • I do believe that the part where they travel on the dhow is my favourite so far. Exciting, romantic, and exotic with just enough modernity to relate it. I wish I were born again as an explorer.

  • its so cool he meet most of thm again

    what time is tea time?

  • 11:40 the crew proudly announce to the passing boat."there's a shooting (filming) going on our boat". :-)
