Michael Palin on Andrew Marr

Michael Palin was on the Andrew Marr Show this morning...

He was talking about his new series set in BRAZIL, in the run-up to the World Cup...
I heard about that via his recent e-mail update.

He talked about his work with geography, and the work of the RGS-IBG:

"Geography needs to be supported as a school subject.... geography comes half way between arts and science, but it's a terribly important subject.... there is a relevance to geography at the moment...
we need to encourage teachers and schools to keep it in the curriculum, and hopefully inspire the government to keep it there as well, because they are the ones who make the decisions..."
