- Synopsis:
Famed raconteur and wit Sir Peter Ustinov is tempted out of retirement in his Swiss Vineyard for one last grand journey around the world. Following in the footsteps of Mark Twain, Sir Peter travels first to Fiji and the Kiribati Islands, before heading tor Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, India and finally South Africa. Along the way, he meets and mingles with taxi drivers and presidents, exiles and evangelists, the descendants of kings and cannibals - and living gods and dying colonials. It is an unforgettable journey, full of incident and character, all observed with Sir Peter's typical insightful and thought-provoking wit and culminating in a meeting with Nelson Mandela himself aboard the QE2. A true cosmopolitan, Sir Peter reveals the struggles by people around the world to rediscover and reclaim their lost heritage and to find for themselves an enduring sense of belonging in a rapidly-changing world. - Actors:
