A very enjoying and interesting series to tell Jules Vernes great novel. Pierce Borsnan makes a brilliant Fogg, and the rest of cast is equally good.
The Brosnan just gives a new dimension to the character described by Jules Verne, and with his similar physical features to the character of the novel.
Just as Brosnan has the remarkable resemblance of James Bond as describe in Ian Flemmings novels.
Nice for the whole family to watch.
