It's DAY 25 in Napoli and out of the blue things take a twist to the unimaginable, as Roberts has a medical emergency one in which he faces a certain and agonising death, unless he can get immediate lifesaving surgery.

Something snaps and all of a sudden he realises he is in a dire medical situation. He is saved from certain death by a fast acting local GP who visits Roberts in his Hotel room and immediately organises an ambulance to take him to an Emergency ward for a major surgical procedure at the nearest hospital.

Roberts is alone in a foreign country in a foreign city, in agonising pain, with literally hours left to live. No one speaks English, so no-one can tell him what is going on. Roberts doesn't even have a working SIM card in his iPhone and cannot message anyone.
Roberts is rushed into emergency surgery for a major procedure, one that could save his life, without it Roberts is 100% not going to live through the night.

4 hours and 36 staples later, Roberts undergoes a Laparotomy procedure, a major surgical operation to treat his perforated abdominal and peritonitis. A fatal condition that can kill in less than 48 hours.

It makes this EP of '80DAY' a high drama and something of a 'Reality show'.

TRIGGER TRIGGER ALERT ! THERE IS GORE

“80 DAYS” Series

In ’80 DAYS’, starting from his home base of Sydney adventurer and Award winning film maker Paul G Roberts, retraces the global footsteps of Phileas Fogg, hero of Jules Verne’s most famous work, “Around the World in 80 Days”, and this time around Roberts does a deep dive on history, art and culture of the cities he visits, and he captures and records his global adventures for a new 80 Episode TV series.

Making an Award winning film is no small feat.

Usually it takes a great story, a team of highly skilled artisans. Writers, producers, a great director, editors, actors and usually a pile of money.
And even then it takes a decent amount of luck and a lot of dedication for it to realise the promise it had on paper.
There are a million things that can derail the project.

The degree of difficulty is amplified many times over when it has ambitions to become a series.

But for one person to attempt to all of this solo, is for most experts just insanity.

In this new 80 episode solo Round the World Series, Award winning filmmaker and travel lover Paul G Roberts is the writer, director, producer, star, presenter, camera / sound / lighting / drone cam operator.
