Episode 3

Poor Pierce Brosnan. If things worked out differently, he should had been in Mexico making Licence to Kill, his second Bond movie. Instead he is making this dross.

Ever the professional, he gives it his all as Phileas Fogg, the intrepid explorer. It is a shame the script is so clunky and inert.

Fortunately the gods will smile on Brosnan, he will discover his own goldeneye.

Fogg heads for USA and onto San Francisco. On a train journey he comes across Jesse James and he needs to find passage somehow back to England but the clock is ticking. It also seems Fogg is falling for Princess Aouda and once he lands in England Fix plans to put Fogg in a fix.

This should had been so much better. Ironic that it was the Michael Palin documentary of Around the world in eighty days that became a television classic.

Goofs
The couplings between cars shown on the train in the American west were the buffer-and-chain type, which are used in Europe and were never used in the United States. In 1872, when the story takes place, link and pin couplings were used in the US.
