Russian Steps

In the second stage of his epic journey from North Pole to South Pole, Michael Palin makes his way across the crumbling USSR. Equipped only with a few phrases of Russian and plenty of enthusiasm, he has just 12 days to get from St Petersburg to the southern port of Odessa. If he is late, he will miss the last ship to Istanbul - with disastrous consequences for the rest of the journey.
