Michael Edward Palin, CBE FRGS (born 5 May 1943) is an English comedian, actor, writer and television presenter best known for being one of the members of the comedy group Monty Python and for his travel documentaries. Palin wrote most of his comedic material with Terry Jones. Before Monty Python, they had worked on other shows such as The Ken Dodd Show, The Frost Report and Do Not Adjust Your Set. Palin appeared in some of the most famous Python sketches, including "Argument Clinic", "Dead Parrot", "The Lumberjack Song", and "The Spanish Inquisition". Palin continued to work with Jones after Python, co-writing Ripping Yarns. He has also appeared in several films directed by fellow Python Terry Gilliam and made notable appearances in other films such as A Fish Called Wanda, for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian's Comedian, he was voted the 30th favourite by fellow comedians and comedy insiders. After Python, he began a new career as a travel writer and travel documentarian. His journeys have taken him across the world, including the North and South Poles, the Sahara desert, the Himalayas and, most recently, Eastern Europe. In 2000 Palin was honoured as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his services to television.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, a seemingly gentle and kind-hearted man of science who owns a bust of the Roman god Janus, has recently developed a theory that a man's evil side can be separated from it's good side. Testing it out by concocting a serum, Jekyll transforms into a charming yet sinister version of himself, Edward Hyde. Taking to the streets of London, Mr. Hyde goes on a rampage, slaughtering, raping and robbing as he pleases. As his good friends and Jekyll's niece try to piece together the puzzle, Hyde might already be in control over Jekyll's life.
