This film is part of the series Full Circle, with writer, actor, and comedian Michael Pain as host. Perhaps best known for his work as a member of the Monty Python Flying Circus cast, Pain has written numerous books, including Around the World in 80 Days and Pole to Pole. In Full Circle, Pain travels the countries of the Pacific Rim and reports on his adventures and insights. In this episode, Vietnam and the Philippines are explored and enjoyed. In his self-deprecating, humorous style, Palin shares his adventures, with shots of beautiful countrysides and interesting city life, as well as encounters with the diverse peoples of both countries.
