This version looks to be inspired by the works of Jules Verne rather than be a direct adaptation.
At eight parts. It threatens to feel like 80 days.
David Tennant plays Jules Verne. A clubbish gentleman who seems to know little about the world and life.
So he seems the wrong sort to travel the world as he has not really been anywhere.
Maybe his Passepartout will be the right valet. He seems to be more streetwise and well travelled. In Paris, Passepartout's backstory is examined.
Also along for the ride is 'Fix' Fortescue the female journalist who is covering the adventure for the readers of the Daily Telegraph.
It starts off briskly, Verne just sets off with no planning whatsoever. At one pint I thought Tennant was going to regenerate.
It looks great but I fear pacing might be an issue.
