Presented by <a href="/wiki/Michael_Palin" title="Michael Palin">Michael Palin</a>, <i>Full Circle</i> was the third of a series of programmes in which Palin made and documented lengthy journeys. The first was <i><a href="/wiki/Around_the_World_in_80_Days_with_Michael_Palin" title="Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin">Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin</a></i>, a 7-part series first broadcast in 1989, and the second was <i><a href="/wiki/Pole_to_Pole_with_Michael_Palin" title="Pole to Pole with Michael Palin">Pole to Pole with Michael Palin</a></i>, an 8-part series first broadcast in 1992. </p><p>The series documented a 245-day, 50,000-mile (80,000 km) trip taken by Palin and a film crew around the rim of the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> in 1995 and 1996, beginning on the <a href="/wiki/Diomede_Islands" title="Diomede Islands">Diomede Islands</a> between <a href="/wiki/Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a> and Russia in the <a href="/wiki/Bering_Strait" title="Bering Strait">Bering Strait</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The intent was to make the full anti-clockwise trip around the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Rim" title="Pacific Rim">Pacific Rim</a> and end up back on the Diomede Islands, but due to rough weather, he was unable to actually set foot back on the Islands again at the end of his journey, bringing him within two miles of completing the full circle.

They tour the <a href="/wiki/Asakusa" title="Asakusa">Asakusa</a> neighbourhood where they decide to bet on a horse race. Palin and Nobetsu strike gold with a horse named Super License.

Shin-Na explains to him that there still exists <a href="/wiki/Japan-Korea_disputes" class="mw-redirect" title="Japan-Korea disputes">animosity between Koreans and the Japanese</a>, none more evident than in the fact that most Japanese cultural items are still banned in Korea.

He then travels down Bullet Street, arguably the most violent street in the city. Here, rocks are thrown at the car Palin and his guide are travelling in. He then offers to take him to lunch; however, his guide declines, stating that the restaurant he is going to is owned by the father of a drug trafficker.
