VIDEO:Around the World in 80 Days: A Classic Reimagined


The cast and crew of Around The World In 80 Days discuss how this adaptation is about far more than a journey around the globe—it’s about a man who wonders what he’s done with his life and what risks he’s yet willing to take.

Watch below:


Around The World In 80 Days stars David Tennant as Phileas Fogg, a 19th Century gentleman and adventurer who, with his valet, Passepartout, played by rising French actor Ibrahim Koma, takes on the legendary journey of circumnavigating the globe in just 80 days following an outrageous bet. They are swiftly joined by aspiring journalist Abigail Fix, played by The Crown’s Leonie Benesch, who seizes the chance to report on this extraordinary story. Other cast members include Ty Tennant, Jason Watkins, Peter Sullivan, Lindsay Duncan, Dolly Wells, Richard Wilson, Faical Elkihel, Anthony Flanagan, Gary Beadle and Giovanni Scifoni.  

The series concludes on Masterpiece in the USA on Sunday. UK fans can stream the entire series on BBC iPlayer.
