One of the oldest surviving theatres designed by iconic architect Frank Matcham, Richmond Theatre has sat in the heart of the local community since 1899. Kneedling, a man paid by Bellamy, tries to bribe Passepartout to slow Fogg down by giving him something he claims will make him sleep for a few days. It's not all bad, though, as Fogg decides to marry the fortunately amenable Princess and sends out Passepartout to find a suitable clergyman. Steamer across the China Sea and the Pacific Ocean takes the travellers from Hong Kong to Yokohama (Japan) in 6 days. Michael Palin, famous from Monty Python, completed the journey in 1988 for a BBC TV series, and an accompanying book.

In 2004, a film was made, loosely based on the book, starring Steve Coogan and Jackie Chan in the roles of Fogg and Passepartout respectively.

The docks at ‘Suez’ in Egypt were recreated on a soundstage at the RKO Studios in Hollywood, where we get the first sight of HMS Mongolia which takes Fogg and co to what was Bombay and is now Mumbai.
