Read the article and underline the correct answer: a), b) or c).

Michael Palin has travelled all over the world several times but he has lived in the same house in London
since 1968. Some of you might remember him from the Monty Python films, but in 1989, Michael started
doing TV travel programmes for the BBC. He’s now more famous for his travel books and DVDs than his
acting. His first series Around the World in 80 days followed the same route as the Jules Verne novel of
the same name. And like Phileas Fogg, the hero of the book, Michael didn’t get on a plane.

His programmes have taken Michael from the North to the South Pole, around the Pacific Ocean, across
the Sahara desert, up into the Himalayas and through Eastern Europe. He’s had breakfast in Alaska,
Sunday lunch at 5000 metres on Mount Everest, and slept in a tent in Antarctica. He’s met the Dalai
Lama in India, done Tai Chi in Shanghai and driven one of the last steam trains in Poland. It’s hard to
believe that Michael Palin hasn’t been everywhere, but there are still places he’d like to visit: Syria,
Georgia, Brazil, Argentina – the list goes on. He hasn’t got any plans for another TV series at the moment
– but I’m sure it won’t be long before he’s off on his travels again.
