Jules Verne's classic story is brought to life in a dramatic four-part adaptation. This captivating tale follows the eccentric gentleman Phileas Fogg as he embarks on a journey around the world in just eighty days, facing numerous challenges along the way.

In Episode 1, titled 'An Over-Hurried Departure', a bet is made, the Bank of England is robbed, and the gas is left on. Phileas Fogg's new valet, Passepartout, had been hoping for a quiet life. Episode 2, 'Distractions in the Jungle', sees Fogg riding an elephant while Sergeant Fix loses sight of him, and Passepartout saves the day.

As the story unfolds, Episode 3, 'The Missing Acrobat', reveals Passepartout setting off for Japan without his friends. Will Phileas Fogg and Aouda catch up with him? Finally, in Episode 4, 'Burning to Get Home', Phileas Fogg takes drastic action over the Atlantic, but will it get him to the Reform Club in time?
