AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
Starts June 26, Sundays at 8.30pm and watch On Demand
BBC First [119]
A famous wager from a classic novel is the starting point for this epic tale full of adventure and escapism.
While author Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days has been on bookshelves since first published in 1872, this television adaptation of the famous novel is suitably an international production, given a slight modern twist by writer and executive producer Ashley Pharoah (Life on Mars).
With David Tennant (Doctor Who and Camping, watch both On Demand) taking the lead, it’s time for the whole family to go on a wondrous trip.
A gentleman’s word
It is London, 1872,
