Michael Palin: Travels Of A Lifetime

8.35PM, RTÉ2 ★★★★ The former Monty Python star and spiritual grandfather of the now well-established celeb travelogue format revisits his six-part travel series Himalaya, from 2004 — recalling it to be one of the most extraordinary and challenging journeys he has embarked upon in his career. Through his own diary entries and interviews, Michael (right) looks back at this exhilarating journey, while famous fellow travellers and fans also pop up to reflect on the impact that the series — and Michael in general — had on them.
