How is it when this guy travels, everything is always open, nothing is covered with scafolds or tarps, no surley public offical snarling in your face IS CLOSE! when in fact whatever historical site you have traveled half way around the world to visit is arbitrarily closed that particular day or week.

If you asked me to give an example of an extremely down to earth, regular, nice guy I would have to say it was Michael Palin. Maybe because I've grown up with Monty Python and Michael's travel shows and books but he is the paradigm of level headedness. Probably because he usually played the straight man in the skits and probably because he's pretty clever. Who else can say they had a ball mucking around with their friends in their 20's and 30's while making good money and becoming famous and then get paid to travel the world for 35+ years? Also, it's the camera people that shoot all the B-roll that amazes me in these shows. They had to film the plane and snowmobiles departing. They're probably still up there somewhere. 😁

Hairdressers in China were a cover for prostitution. Remember them well

I've always enjoyed Michael Portillo's railway journeys through Europa. I'm glad he's still with us and doing the thing he loves. He knows how to make a good travel show. Best regards, a fan from the Netherlands.

Interesting fact. In 1775 America was a tea drinking society. It instantly became a coffee drinking society. Meanwhile, Britain gave up coffee for tea.

Gracias Michael for taking me along your beautiful walk....

Jaw dropping beauty. On my bucket list

You rock Michael! Thank you for your many travel experiences. I would give you my Parliament vote again!

Thank you Robson Green. This series is so entertaining. 🥰🇨🇦

Love this !

Great series, thanks!

EXCELLENT

Pakistan was very ancient and beautiful but they forgot their own culture and traditions. They embraced other religion..so sad

Beautiful scenery, stunning beaches, world famous twin peaks which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, worlds only drive in volcano, waterfalls, thats st Lucia

Hate when people treat Stephen like he is stupid, the way ted turner was with him. It's an indicator of insecurity, making other people feel worse about themselves. Zero integrity. Mind you we are talking about the guy who founded CNN so it kinda makes sense. And Stephen has the dignity and grace to not respond to it.

26 years ago I saw this series as a kid and became weirdly fascinated by the Philippines. Lo and behold, I ended up going there, falling in love and marrying a Filipina. We go back 3 or 4 times a year and I'll hopefully be retiring there. I think Mr Palin might have accidentally set the course for my life 😄

Beautiful Series Sinha Sahab. I was away for a while.❤ Thank you . Rick Stein has always been my favorite.❤

I love how much he hates Miami 🤣

Lorna and John were murdered on their farm by squatters. No one was prosecuted.

British brainwashed from her own true history of indus India, Asia, sad

Quite an audience at the Hair salon.

Excellent...thank you.

Looks like the vodka says Варошка (Varoshka). Guessing it has a slight bison grass flavour? Anyone heard of this brand?

Alan Shearer, George Stephenson and Sid the Sexist from Viz.......🤣🤣

20:37 Proving, over again, that religion and its Gods are _man made_ constructs.

trance group think

Sister Raphael is charming....and her cows are very nice....Brune (Swiss) i think....she was doing some serious flirting with Mr Portillo....or maybe just happy to get a helping hand feed her cows....??

Dont worry George, you're seeing the next worse Tory campaign ever run.

Been to many of these places which brought back memories. Something that made me laugh is an Indian rendition of British popular song from about 80 yrs ago, 'Everything Stops For Tea' 13:10

Hilarious as always...and spectacular views great video..

These shows are on here in Holland and this Macdonald woman is the worst possible person to present this, unbelievable! What a mismatch. Terrible to watch..

Hi, thank you for sharing Portillo's Andalucia journey on your youtube channel, but the fifth episode of Cádiz is missing. Could you please upload it as well? Thank you for your attention and good afternoon! ✌☺

Quite relevant in June 2024

The issue following the referendum was caused by the fact 5 out of 6 MP's were in favour of remaining.

I guess Michael must have realised it wasn't a Continent when he couldn't get a flight from South Africa, because its an Ice wall not a Continent 😂

Michael, thank you for this moving record of important stories that must be remembered.

actually , in the thumbnail , regarding the thumbnail , we would like the union jack and the flag of the principality of monaco monte carlo
