Michael Palin: Around the world in 20 years

Michael Palin was good entertainment last night on BBC 1. In this documentary he went in search of the crew of the wooden dhow Al Shama, featured in his hit documentary series Around the World in 80 Days. The eight-day voyage across the Arabian Sea to Bombay filmed twenty years ago became a TV classic. Michael's search began in Dubai, which has been transformed since he was last there in 1988. You can catch the episode on BBC iPlayer if you missed it!
