Planet Ustinov - Following the Equator With Peter Ustinov

Acclaimed actor, raconteur and celebrated writer Peter Ustinov follows in the footsteps of Mark Twain and his 1898 published account of the epic journey he conducted around the globe at a time when the world was on the brink of a new century.

Retracing Twain's steps, Sir Peter combines his unique and thought-provoking wit with intelligent observation as he travels to Fiji before heading to Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, India and South Africa. Peter mingles with the descendants of cannibals, kings, evangelists, living gods and the everyday people who inhabit these cosmopolitan lands, plus a rare opportunity to meet Nelson Mandela aboard the QE2.

Peter observes how things have changed since Mark Twain first visited 100 years ago, while revealing peoples' struggle to rediscover their lost heritage in a forever-changing world.

Blending travelogue and history with his own entertaining and challenging observations, join Sir Peter on the journey of a lifetime in all four episodes from his final journey around the globe.
