Episode 1
War and Peace
54 mins
Palin begins his tour of formerly off-limits Eastern European countries in the former Yugoslavian republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. He ends this episode in the previously secretive country of Albania, which one interviewee states was a better place to live before all the traffic. Other visits include one to a new Catholic pilgrimage site, an idyllic island in the Adriatic, to Belgrade where Serbs seem to feel unjustly condemned for their actions against their neighbors and Sarajevo, which is recovering from years of war when just going to the market was a life-threatening act.
