I thought Michael Palin was going to do a new series of this.

If Palin's not in it, then no I have not see it.

Is it any good?

Compared to other shows, it lacks the depth, getting from A-B is the objective as there is a time limit, so very little time to meet people and see locations, unlike Charley Boorman's series, which is more informative.


'Charley Boorman - Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means'

The first episode off Boorman was great Electric cross country dirt bikes, snakes, and more.
