Brief synopsis
London, 1872. Phileas Fogg (David Tennant) accepts a crazy wager to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days. Fogg is at best ill-prepared and will need all the resilience he can muster along with the assistance of quick-witted Frenchman, Passepartout. Joining them is journalist Abigail Fix who came up with the whole crazy idea in the first place.
