BROAD CHALKE, WILTSHIRE, UK, 24th June, 2025, Michael Palin, journalist, actor comedian and TV traveller, offers a captivating glimpse into a decade of change, challenge, and adventure at Chalke History Festival, the UK's leading history festival. His insatiable curiosity drove him through four landmark travel documentaries – Hemingway Adventure, Sahara, Himalaya, and New Europe – cementing his place as a beloved TV traveller. With warmth and humour, he reflected on family, fame, and the Pythons, and of course his greatest role to date: a devoted grandfather. Credit John Rose/Alamy Live News
