Once the darling of the Beeb, Michael’s career with the broadcaster began with the landmark 1989 seven-part series, Around the World in 80 Days.

But Brazil With Michael Palin in 2012 was his last travelogue for the BBC.

In the Radio Times he said: “There was the feeling that the BBC wanted to interfere a little more, they wanted to control it a little more.

“They had this new way of presenting shows – which I would get absolutely, desperately frustrated with – where they would show, in the first five minutes, all the great moments of what was to come. Because this captured viewers.

“Otherwise, as soon as they see Michael Palin, they’ll switch off.

“The BBC were going in a different direction, and presentation was going in a different direction.”

Discussing rehearsal 0n the Never Have I Ever podcast, he said: “It’s difficult not to be so awkward with a gang of women, I became an absolute mess – not because I was flirting but because I don’t know how to talk anymore.

“There was this lovely lady called Hannah and I had to do this little dance with her and I had to twirl her round. “I grab her under the arms and then I drag her across the stage like a Strictly drag.

“Whilst I was doing that I was going ‘hurgh’’ and she was like ‘could you do that without the noise please?’”

Awkward.
