Michael Palin's New Europe is a travel documentary presented by Michael Palin and first aired in the UK on the BBC on 16 September 2007 and in the US on the Travel Channel on 28 January 2008.[1] Palin visits 20 countries in Central and Eastern Europe – the programme was filmed in the wake of the 2004 enlargement of the European Union (and shortly before the 2007 enlargement), which included many of the countries visited by Palin and significantly reshaped east–west relations on the continent.[2] The filming was done in 2006 and early 2007 using HD (high definition) equipment.[3] The result was made into seven one-hour programmes for BBC One and simulcast on BBC HD. A book, New Europe, was also written describing the trip, and illustrated with photographs by Basil Pao.
