	Transcript: Michael Palin 5/26/98
		Michael Palin: The actual first manifestation of D.P. Gumby, or a man with a knotted handkerchief on his head shrieking insanely was, I think, John Cleese, when we were filming for the first Monty Python series in 1969.
		Michael Palin: No, I didn't think about them specifically, but a lot of the characters in the town are sort of representative of English society, which in many parts of the country hasn't changed all that much from the Ealing comedy days.
		Michael Palin: As a result of the enjoyable experience of getting together again at Aspen, it was decided we should investigate the possibility of producing a new stage show to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Monty Python in October of '99.

	Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure
		One hundred years after the birth of Ernest Hemingway, Michael Palin sets out to discover the man behind the legend: a hard-drinking womaniser who liked cats and shooting - but wrote like a dream and left an indelible impression on the twentieth century through his work.
		Hemingway's wanderlust draws Michael to the island of Key West in Florida, once unspoilt, but where the Hemingway industry now flourishes and a look-alike competition is the high point of the centenary celebrations.
		Michael makes his first visit to Cuba, Hemingway's adopted home for almost twenty years, where marlin-fishing, bar-hopping and daiquiris help unravel some of the pervading myths.

	Amazon.de: Hemingway Adventure, 4 Cassetten: English Books: Michael Palin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Michael Palin's popularity as a travel writer and TV presenter is at its zenith.
		Palin visits the restless Hemingway's many residencies, drinks (less excessively) in the same charming Parisian bars, tries boxing and Cuban marlin fishing, but he's really trying to discover what made Hemingway tick--what inspired him to write.
		Palin begins in Hemingway's Illinois birthplace and ends his journey standing on the spot in Papa's Idaho kitchen where he shot himself, having recently broken down in tears, unable to complete JFK's request for a few simple words commemorating his inauguration.

	Powells.com Interviews - Michael Palin
		Palin steps away from the big screen for a while to write an adventure about the exploration of the diverse cultures and varied landscape surrounging a 20,000-mile stretch of the Pacific Rim.
		Palin: I think it's up to those who watch the shows to give the answer, but I've gleaned one or two clues from people I talk to.
		Palin: A few years before I'd written a novel, I'd started work on a television screenplay, which was set in a small town and started with someone finding Hemingway's chair in an antique shop.

		Michael Palin's Sahara adventure is one of the great challenges in world travel.
		It is occasionally evident that Michael Palin was not all that happy with things himself, and this is also a negative factor.

	Salon Wanderlust \| Michael Palin: From Python to Pacific
		I have been a Palin fan since the early days of Monty Python, so when the opportunity arose, I hopped on the S.F.-L.A. shuttle and taxied to the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood.
		Palin was dressed in bone-colored khakis and an unbuttoned button-down shirt, gray socks he kept pulling up and the kind of comfortable walking shoes you would expect a world-wanderer to wear.
		He was cheerful and relaxed, reflective at times and impish at others, easy to laugh and so entirely un-obsessed with himself and curious about the world that sometimes it seemed as if he were interviewing me -- qualities that obviously serve him well in his journeys.

		Michael Palin has yet to grow tired of tromping around the planet on behalf of the BBC--or so he says in a special, pre-departure introduction to his always gratifying, sometimes thrilling Michael Palin: Himalaya.
		The big difference is that each of the first three series was documenting a trip made by Michael Palin, and the trip itself was the central element that provided a focal point for the TV series.

		Often the sheer scope of the journey becomes overwhelming and slightly impressionistic, but as ever Palin's wit and wonder at his discoveries and encounters is unflagging, from the wonders of the ancient civilisations of Asia to the startling modernity and squalor of Latin America.
		In the Philippines, Palin witnesses "psychic surgery": on the Urubamba River, Palin simultaneously clings for his life to a dugout canoe as he shoots the rapids and keeps up with England's progress in the World Cup via shortwave radio.
		Palin is taken aback by the physical bigness of Americans, and rush, and loudness.

		MICHAEL PALIN is not just one of Britain's foremost comedy character actors, whose inventive genius and astonishing versatility were vividly demonstrated in his widely acclaimed 'Ripping Yarns' series, he also talks a lot.
		Yap yap yap he goes, all day long and through the night, twenty three to the dozen, the ground littered with the hind legs of donkeys, till you believe it is not possible, simply not possible for him to go on any longer, but he does.
		However, in 'Life of Brian' Michael brings to the screen a series of brilliant comic creations.

		One nice thing about the book, as compared to the TV program on DVD, is that Michael Palin's personal opinions are more evident, as is his enjoyment of traveling and experiencing new people and places.
		Michael also writes candidly about the health problems he experienced and the reservations he had about travel in the places where there were security problems.
		The tv presenting Michael Palin does is fantastic, rich in culture and human interest, but this book is devoid of both.

		Palin's comic thunder was largely stolen by Denholm Elliott and Michael Hordern in doddering cameos.

	Around the World in 80 Days (Michael Palin) (1989)
		From a start point of train delays and premature terminations, Palin endured heat, culture shock, language barriers, impossible bureaucracies and stomach bugs; and continued to the end tackling logistics nightmares of missed ships and unrealistic time schedules.
		Palin's collective "Passepartout" (his film crew) have excelled in garnering exquisite images and vignettes of daily life in lands as exotic and varied as Cairo, Bombay, Japan and China, and have rendered the more familiar images of Europe and America with a delicate eye for a good picture.
		It was curious to see the only time he lost his cool was at journey's end when confronted with a hostile home town of London.

		Michael Palin's comic genius is rarely disputed, but something he is equally good at and less well known for is his ability with people, no matter what their nationality, language, religion, or culture.
		In this documentary series Palin travels the Himalaya, and in the process meets many different people, from Royals and Ministers to ordinary shepherds, and even the Dalai Lama.
		Palin's respect for others and ability to laugh at his own way of living makes Himalaya a worthwhile documentary with real impact.
