Michael Palin: A Life in Maps

Michael Palin described how when entering a new hotel room the first thing he does is to unfold a map on the bed and become familiar with his new surroundings. Often tired upon arrival at a new destination, he said that he has been known to wake up covered in a map sheet, literally wrapped up in the world around him. This talk hosted by BCS toured us through this world around him.
