Michael Palin's New Europe: Baltic Summer

Michael Palin explores the countries that were hidden behind the Iron Curtain but are now part of the new Europe. He tells how three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, shook themselves free of the Soviet Union and reclaimed their distinctive culture. He takes a leech treatment, tries fire-walking, frolics with revellers at a pagan festival and learns why Lithuanians are known as the 'singing nation'. Michael enjoys himself in Kaliningrad before sailing along the Baltic coast to Poland
