The programme explores the literature that inspired Michael Palin and Terry Jones's classic TV comedy Ripping Yarns, a loving parody of the Boys' Own books and magazines of their childhood. It features clips from Ripping Yarns, archive and interviews with experts, modern-day adventurers and Michael Palin and Terry Jones's own memories.
In this affectionate and entertaining film Xander celebrates a long-lost slice of Britishness. Definitely one to record, if you haven't seen it before.
