This incredible series which required two years of planning and high-level negotiations, grants presenter Michael Palin and his team unprecedented access to the reclusive country of North Korea.
Covering more than 1,300 miles in just over a week, Palin travels from the capital Pyongyang to the snowy peaks of Mount Paektu, interviewing locals and understanding what it’s like to live there, experiencing North Korea in a way most Westerners will have never previously seen.
