Summary

Embark on an epic journey in this all-star cast audio dramatisation of Around the World in 80 Days. This new Original drama features best-in-class performances from Golden Globe-nominee, Emmy-nominee and multiple BAFTA-nominee Toby Jones (The Girl, Directorists, The Hunger Games) as Phileas Fogg, George Blagden (Versailles, Black Mirror, Vikings) as Jean Passerpartout and Don Gilet (Eastenders, Dr Who) as Detective Fix amongst others.

One of the most celebrated tales of all time, Around the World in 80 Days is part high-octane thriller, part fascinating fantasy travelogue. Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the members of his exclusive club: that he can circle the world in just 80 days, right down to the minute.

Fetching his newly appointed French valet, Fogg embarks on a fabulous journey across land and sea - by steamer, rail, and elephant - to win the bet of a lifetime.

Inspired by Jules Verne’s own sea travels and his fascination with circumnavigating the globe, the avid dreamer's picaresque voyage inspired generations of adventurers who were eager to best Verne's challenge - from 19th century journalist Nellie Bly to Monty Python's Michael Palin.

Featuring: George Blagden, Christopher Brandon, John Chancer, Scarlett Courtney, Josh Cowdery, Tim Delap, Sartaj Garewal, Don Gilet, Chris Grahamson, David Holt, Ryan Forde Iosco, Toby Jones, Peter Luke Kenny, Naveed Khan, Christos Lawton, Jack Monaghan, Raad Rawi, Vineeta Rishi, Luke Roskell, Richard Rycroft, Adam Sims, Thomas Stroppel, Homer Todiwala, Matilda Tucker, Amy Vicary-Smith, Julian Wadham, Georgia Warlow, Orlando Wells, Sarah Whitehouse and Sam Woolf.

This is an excellent production that flows beautifully. Great acting by Toby Jones and credit to the rest of the cast who bring the story and all the characters to life. Have listened 3 times since purchasing, it is good clean entertainment that makes me smile. Well done all. 👍

THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE RADIO PRODUCTION

Brilliant work! Incredibly immersive and involving!
Flawless, the book adaptation, the narrator and performers reciting it portrayed Jules Verne's imaginativeness. They provided the listener with enough room to fit in and wonder in their journey.
Sadly, the downside of this version is it is, in fact, too brief to be thoroughly enjoyed; as an ABRIDGED version, regrettably is not mentioned by Audible in its title details.
Nonetheless, the outcome is positively enjoyable, to the point of reflecting upon it; how could an audiobook convey such a fascinating feeling?
In conclusion, it is, in my humble opinion, one of those unmissable listenings.

A great classic, characters stay true to the classic and are performed very well. Mr Fog is a true British gent and with his faithful man servant nothing it seems will stop him from completing his challenge. Family loved it, made the long car journey fly by (ages 6 - 49)

Worth you time = YES

Fantastic performance of a classic, a ripping yarn
