Michael Palin
New Europe

Michael Palin's New Europe starts with a simple idea: that only a couple of hours from home is a half of Europe that is for him as unknown and unexplored as the plateau of Tibet or the vastnesses of the Sahara. Cut off for most of Palin's life by Cold Wars and Iron Curtains, Europe's eastern lands are now open for business. Visiting twenty countries, he encounters painful memories and exuberant celebrations, meets Romanian lumberjacks, treads the cat-walk at a Budapest fashion show and watches Turkish gents wrestling in olive oil. It's New Europe, but vintage Palin.
