Michael Palin tries to copy the achievement of Jules Verne 's fictional hero, Phileas Fogg. Winner of the 1990 Royal Television Society Best Documentary award.
The Challenge. At 9.45 on a fine autumn morning, Michael Palin steps out of the Reform Club onto Pall Mall with the aim of returning to the same spot before 80 days have elapsed - having circumnavigated the globe by land and sea. But times have changed considerably since
Phileas Fogg 's day. Air travel has destroyed the scheduled passenger steamer and decimated the global rail links which were the pride of the Victorian world.

Birth Rites? Joan Bakewell examines whether baptism should be for believers or babies. A growing number of vicars in the Church of England are denying children baptism unless their parents can demonstrate faith. They say they are being true to the teachings of the Church. Other clergy argue that it is wrong to turn children away from the very starting point of Christian life. Heart of the Matter talks to parents and priests on both sides of the debate.
