The 2021 live-action adaptation of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, made by the European Alliance (a co-production alliance of France Télévisions, Be-Films of Belgium, and the ZDF of Germany and RAI of Italy). The series is set in 1870s Britain and centers on Phileas Fogg (played by David Tennant) and his efforts to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days after making a bet of £20,000 with Nyle Bellamy (Peter Sullivan). During the trip, he is accompanied by his French valet, Jean Passepartout (Ibrahim Koma), and budding journalist Abigail Fortescue (Leonie Benesch).It aired throughout November 2021 on Be-Films in Belgium, with two back-to-back episodes each week, and in the UK on Boxing Day 2021 on BBC One in the UK. The series was also broadcast in the United States on PBS's Masterpiece. Belgium kept the back-to-back airing format for the rest of the series, but the UK reverted to one episode a week from Episode 5 onwards. Interestingly, all the episodes were uploaded onto their respective channels on demand services (such as BBC iPlayer for the UK) on 2nd January 2022. Before it aired, the show had already been announced to have been renewed for a second series on November 2021; however, there has been no new information since.

Beneath Notice: When Fogg hires Passepartout, he vaguely wonders if the man looks familiar, but doesn't realise that he was being served lunch by him less than an hour ago. He eventually does recognise Passepartout as a former server in the Reform Club when he sees him serving right in front of him in Hong Kong.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
 Around the World in 80 Days (2021) / int_10dcbe05
comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: The British Governor of Hong Kong and his wife, Lady Clemency. She complains that he's incredibly dull and lacks any sense of romance whatsoever, and Fogg's interactions with him completely back up that assessment as the man talks only about horse racing and the pubs back in England. However, she does show a philosophical side about men being unable to serve "both Empire and eros" and he he does truly love and appreciate his wife's willingness to go halfway around the world and play a role she doesn't enjoy. It only comes out after the theft of the White Dragon, where his vengeance has much more to do with making "Clemmy" cry than anything else. (Of course, being a high-status British governor in a colony, he saw nothing wrong with expressing his love by gifting his wife a necklace that the British literally stole from a tomb.)

A Taste of the Lash: Happens to Fogg in Episode 5. Appropriately it is treated as a severe punishment which could be disfiguring or even life-threatening and especially barbaric when the victim is actually innocent. He only gets one lash before he is acquitted.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Abigail is a high-spirited lady reporter who accompanies Fogg on his trip. She is an obvious analogue for Nellie Bly, the famous lady reporter who repeated Jules Verne's trip in Real Life, and wrote a book about it, Around the World in Seventy-Two Days.

Diabolus ex Machina: Since the character of Inspector Fix and the bank robbery subplot were Adapted Out, something else has to happen to get Fogg arrested on his return to England. In this series it's the Hong Kong arrest warrant, cleared up weeks ago in Hong Kong but never withdrawn back in Britain, which gets him put in jail for a day and seemingly costs him his bet.

Adaptational Villainy
 Around the World in 80 Days (2021) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: The Reform Club as a whole were in canon very British about the bet, accepting the wager but initially advising Fogg against the idea due to how much he stood to lose if anything went wrong with his plans. Here Bellamy, a fellow member of the club, deliberately takes steps to ensure that Fogg will lose the wager so that he can use the winnings from the bet to pay off his debtors after a series of bad business investments.

Closest Thing We Got: When intervening in a court-martial for an Indian soldier who deserted his post to get married, Fogg is permitted to speak in the soldier's defence because there is only one British officer available and he is already acting as the judge and prosecutor for the court, despite Fogg only being a gentleman rather than an officer himself.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: The mysterious woman in Fogg's past gave him a flask which saves his life when it intercepts a bullet fired at the French president; said bullet also damages the engraving on the flask to prevent others reading the woman's name. In episode 3 Fogg notes how petroleum just oozes up out of the ground in the Arabian desert. Later, he sets fire to some, giving them the light they need to see and shoot the bandits. An actual gun, when Bass Reeves gives Abernathy's gun in episode 7 to an appreciative Fix. Naturally, later in the episode she uses it against the bad guys.

Adaptation Deviation
 Around the World in 80 Days (2021) / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: Fix in this iteration is not only female (her full name is Abigail Fortescue; Fix is a pen name) but a budding journalist that is following Fogg to document his progress. The original books had Fix be an Inspector chasing Fogg and his crew down after suspecting he is a thief. In the book, Passepartout expects a quiet life as Fogg's valet, and is aghast when Fogg tells him about the bet. In the series, he tricks his way into the valet role because he overheard about the bet, with his main purpose being to get out of the country following an altercation. Although the locations which the travellers visit are more or less the same, the adventures that they have there are only very loosely inspired by the novel's versions. For example, in the book, their adventure in India centres around rescuing Fogg's later Love Interest from being sacrificed after her husband has died. Here, it's about a man on trial for deserting the army to marry his love, and about Passepartout's attempt to poison Fogg.

Mythology Gag: Abigail Fortescue takes the pen name of "Abigail Fix" for her stories. This is a nod to the character of Inspector Fix from the book, who is Adapted Out of this show. The love story between Fogg and Aouda the Indian princess is deleted from this show, as is the sequence where the gang saves Aouda from being sacrificed on her husband's funeral pyre. But there is an Aouda, and Fogg and company encounter her in episode 4. She is an Indian widow of some property, with a daughter that she's trying to get married off to a soldier, which proves a problem when the soldier is arrested for desertion.

Fogg offers the railway system as an advantage of British occupation, although Aouda points out that he's in her village asking for a guide because the railway is incomplete.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Around the World in 80 Days (2021) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: A rather loose adaptation of the story. It keeps the Victorian setting and the idea of racing around the world in 80 days, but the character of Inspector Fix and the bank robbery plot is jettisoned. The story of Fogg falling in love with Princess Aouda is also abandoned. Instead there's the new character of Abigail Fortescue, who falls in love with Passepartout rather than Fogg, while Fogg gets a new backstory with an old Love Interest. These changes also require a whole new set of adventures, like in the first episode where Fogg blunders into civil unrest in Paris. In the novel, Fogg winds up tearing a ship down to its iron frame, using the wood to feed the boilers, as he approaches England on the home stretch. In this show, he tears a train down to its iron frame, using the wood to feed the boilers, as he makes his way to Brindisi.

Sequel Hook: Once Fogg's won the bet in the final episode and the trio are basking in their victory and reluctant to part, Abigail draws attention to an article about something that's been disrupting shipping, and has been variously claimed to be a narwhale, a giant squid, or some sort of mechanical war machine. With their curiosity piqued, the trio gladly set out on a new adventure.

Cowardly Lion: This is Fogg in a nutshell. He clearly regrets his rash decision to engage in the bet before he has even reached France yet still manages to continue on his journey despite his self-doubts, even saving the day in some cases. When he is due to be flogged in Hong Kong for stealing the White Dragon (Passepartout was the thief), he faces it stoically.

Robbing the Dead: Jiang Liei, a businessman (and strongly implied crime lord) in Hong Kong, demands that Passepartout retrieve the White Dragon, a carved jade stone that the governor's wife now uses as a necklace. The British obtained it after breaking open a grave and taking it from the hands of the bodies inside. He himself has made efforts to take it back, but the security was too strong. After Passepartout successfully returns it to him, Jiang Liei is later seen reverently returning it to the grave, placing it back in the hands of the husband and wife who were buried with it.

This being 1872, they attract more than a few raised eyebrows among the extras in episode 7, and Colonel Abernathy (a Klansman) takes Fogg to task for not "protecting" Fix.

Friend to All Children: Fogg has shades of this, immediately showing a kinder, more open side of himself to the children he meets on his adventures than he shows to any of the adult characters pre-Character Development. His reaction to being hugged by Aouda's young daughter and being hugged by Abigail moments later show this clearly—with the first he just hugs her back in confusion, the second, he turns into a statue.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Fogg essentially gives one to Bellamy in Episode 8; when Bellamy tries to get out of the bet by claiming that it was just about honor rather than money, Fogg reveals the cheque he prepared before he left and his discovery of Bellamy's gambling debts. When he offers the cheque to Bellamy to clear up his debts, Fortescue observes that Bellamy can't take the cheque without losing all honor, but Fogg simply observes that Bellamy can't lose what he never had, leaving Bellamy to take the cheque and try to leave the club with his dignity intact.

Parenthetical Swearing: Since this is a family show, they can't exactly have the KKK members in episode 7 hurling around racial slurs, but it's certainly implied from the way Abernathy calls Passepartout "French boy" that he would if he could. While less outright offensive than certain other words, "boy" itself has a derogatory history towards black men.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Since it's set in the 1870s, there are quite a lot of less than acceptable attitudes among the cast. Notably, the Reform Club's members are all white while the kitchen workers are majority black, and the conductor on the Italian train immediately shows Passepartout to the back carriages after giving Fogg and Fix their first-class seats. On a minor note, Fogg refers to East Asia as "the Orient", which is generally not considered proper anymore. He also refuses to pay an Arab guide in advance because "I know how you chaps do business," which gets him a look from Passepartout, who trusts the guy even less than Fogg but wouldn't have put it like that.

The Bet: Circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days with all the trappings of 19th century technology, or lose £20,000. To put that in context, that translates to about USD $3,000,000 today.

Cue the Rain: The gang is adrift on stormy seas in a lifeboat at the beginning of episode 6, Kneeling the Dirty Cop having forced them off the steamship at gunpoint. Passepartout says "It could be worse." Immediately after Fogg challenges him with "How could this be any worse?", a clap of thunder is heard, and the rain comes seconds later.

Demoted to Extra: With the addition of Fogg's lost love, Aouda's role in the book would get in the way, so while a character of that name appears in the India episode, she doesn't join the travellers or have any reason to do so.

When the three impulsively decide to set out on a new adventure, they stride off into the future embracing each other in sheer joy.

As a gesture of friendship and remorse (see Breaking the Fellowship above) he had spent the night out in the rain, collecting vines and using them to secure the raft.

Shout-Out: To Jules Verne's other work From Earth to the Moon as it is the favourite story of the young Italian boy travelling with Fogg, Fix, and Passepartout on the train in Italy. The final episode also has Fogg, Passepartout and Abigail discuss an article about a mysterious series of shipwrecks which the French media are blaming on a hitherto unheard of and unparalleled submarine — almost certainly Captain Nemo's Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island.

Toxic Friend Influence: When Passepartout voices his suspicions about Bellamy, he also points out that as a waiter in the club, he never saw Bellamy treat Fogg as a friend—instead sneering at, insulting, demeaning, and humiliating him whenever possible. Fogg eventually sees the truth in this, although he still insists that Bellamy didn't want him dead (which is true: Bellamy wanted Fogg stopped, but Kneedling interpreted his orders much more broadly than intended).

Hoist by His Own Petard: Bellamy's plan to collect the £20,000 from Fogg gets a severe crimp when Kneedling apparently murders him, leaving no way to get the money except through Fortescue, whom Fogg had named as executor in his will. Bellamy suggests that Fogg would want the money handed over for honor's sake, but Fortescue is too broken by his daughter's death to pay attention.

Adaptational Wimp: A downplayed example; Fogg is still a "hero" in the sense of being a genius capable of calculating complex odds and accommodating real-world factors into his calculations, but this version is less confident in his equations than in the original novel, implied to be due to some past event. Furthermore, whereas in the original novel he was characterised simply as a stoic, almost mechanically efficient recluse, this version is established to be a rather timid and shy Cowardly Lion who appears to be slightly phobic of leaving his house.

Idle Rich: By his own admission, Fogg has spent 20 years at the Reform Club reading the paper. Of course, as we learn over the course of the series, it's his own fearfulness and insecurity that have kept him in London. Likewise, most of the regulars at the Reform Club save Fortescue seem to be trust fund brats—though Bellamy, as we learn, has had his "old money" run out.

Even his brother, who presumably has the same last name, calls him Passepartout, and his first name of Jean is only mentioned a handful of times.

Artistic License – Geography: Our heroes are in Al-Hudayda, and need to quickly get to Aden to catch their next ship. In the show, this means a perilous overland journey through the "Empty Quarter", a Sea of Sand-type desert where Fogg and Passepartout nearly die. In reality, both these cities are on the south-western corner or the Arabian peninsula, with rather a mountainous region between them (even assuming one wouldn't travel along the coast). The desert starts further east, and just getting to it would require lengthening the journey by several days.

Several other characters get some degree of a dark past, as well - Passepartout has lost his father and ran away from his family, Abigail lost her mother when she was young and lived with her admired but often absent father, even Lome the balloon inventor is revealed to have turned his back to his invention after having lost his wife in a tragic accident. Bellamy has some elements of this ( he was a rival for Estella's love, and she spurned him, which is at least part of his toxic relationship with Fogg; he also has a slightly deeper motive for wanting to win the bet, as he has found himself in debt and needs the money to cover it, but this is perhaps more of a troubled present) but they don't make him any more sympathetic.

Moment Killer: In episode 6, when they're stranded on a remote Pacific island, Passepartout and Fix are about to kiss for the first time...when Fogg starts yelling. There's a rescue ship.

Self-Made Man: Niccolo Moretti in the second episode. Although we don't get details, he worked his way into wealth from a working-class background and is resentful of people who are born wealthy, since he's had plenty of them look down on him when he actually worked for what he now has.

Decomposite Character: Detective Fix from the original novel has been split into Abigail Fix, who inherited his name and main character status, and Thomas Kneedling, a much less sympathetic Dirty Cop who knows that Fogg isn't actually a criminal.

Adaptational Context Change: The series keeps the bit with the collapsed suspension bridge from the novel, but moves it much earlier in the voyage (Italy, rather than the USA) and gives Fogg an active role in solving the problem. It also gives him the further motive of rushing a child to hospital, rather than simply maintaining his timetable.

Mushroom Samba: Fogg when he is given datura seed in his tea by Passepartout after Kneedling got to him. He is delirious, giddy, starts seeing things that aren’t there, doesn’t seem to realise he is talking to animals instead of people, and eventually starts to shut down and hallucinate that Fix is Estella, whom he apologises to for his past actions and says he forgives her for leaving him.

The Remnant: While taking a stagecoach to catch up with a Transcontinental Railroad train, Phileas Fogg et al. become entangled with Bass Reeves, a historical black US Marshal pursuing a gang of Klansmen composed of ex-Confederate Army soldiers, led by a former colonel named Abernathy, who fled west after being driven out of Tennessee where they were conducting a terrorist campaign against freedmen.

Dark and Troubled Past
 Around the World in 80 Days (2021) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Fogg is hinted to have one of these, with the first episode alone offering strong hints that something has been holding him back from past ambitions to travel and those fears involve a woman. He's eventually revealed to have broken an engagement to a woman named Estella because Bellamy got in his head and had him too scared to leave England for their honeymoon. More explicitly, the first episode reveals that Passepartout left France almost a decade ago after witnessing his father's execution. Several other characters get some degree of a dark past, as well - Passepartout has lost his father and ran away from his family, Abigail lost her mother when she was young and lived with her admired but often absent father, even Lome the balloon inventor is revealed to have turned his back to his invention after having lost his wife in a tragic accident. Bellamy has some elements of this ( he was a rival for Estella's love, and she spurned him, which is at least part of his toxic relationship with Fogg; he also has a slightly deeper motive for wanting to win the bet, as he has found himself in debt and needs the money to cover it, but this is perhaps more of a troubled present) but they don't make him any more sympathetic.

Innocently Insensitive: Fogg is a very kind man, but as a sheltered Victorian gentleman he has his biases and frequently blunders his way into offending female or non-British characters — which accounts for most of the cast.
