A Close Shave
Episode 4 of 7
Michael Palin and the crew arrive in Bombay one week behind schedule. They move quickly through India to Madras, aiming to catch a ship heading for Singapore, but only two ships are docked - one is leaving too late, and the other is not taking passengers, so Michael signs himself on as a deckhand.
