While flipping through ye olde Idoite Boxe you may have noticed former Monty Python member Michael Palin traveling to exotic locales, talking to interesting people, and learning about bizarre local customs. Palin has been doing travel documentaries and series since 1988, and has been to over 80 countries. I myself have only been to two, and that's only because I count Texas as another country. Palin will add a new location to his itinerary starting this evening when Himalaya airs on the Travel Channel. Now you can watch a man who used to sell dead parrots try and traverse the highest mountain range on the planet.

Palin, as the most good-natured man in the entire world, is uniquely suited to these insane trips. Nothing phases him. Nothing-- I'm sure the top of the world will be no problem at all.

Very true. Palin always made those shows enjoyable. He seems so comfortable around anyone.

I saw an episode of this show last October while in London, and as usual for his travel shows, it was wonderful.
