- Around the World in 80 Days (TV miniseries)
"Around the World in 80 Days" is a 1989 three-part TV miniseries based on the Jules Verne novel "Around the World in Eighty Days". It stars Pierce Brosnan as Phileas Fogg, Eric Idle as Passpartout, and Peter Ustinov as Detective Fix. Cameo appearances include Patrick Macnee and Christopher Lee as members of the Reform Club, Robert Morley (who also cameoed in a similar role in the 1956 film) and Roddy McDowall as officials of the Bank of England, John Hillerman, Jack Klugman, Darren McGavin, Henry Gibson and John Mills.
The heroes travel a slightly different route than in the book and the script makes several contemporary celebrities part of the story who were not mentioned in the book, such as Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Pasteur, Jesse James, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Queen Victoria.
