Michael Palin goes into Eastern Europe and show the countries shortly after the Iron Curtain was pulled away to tell about the countries distinctive style and what makes them stand out from each other. Sadly it ain't nearly as impressive or detailed as Michael Palin's other travelling programs. He should at least have spent one show in each East European country but here he seems more content to just passing through with the most marginal of detail and surprises. It lacks depth and the care that BBC gave to the prior shows.
