In 1994, a second journey of Palin's for the Great Railway Journeys of the World series, entitled "Derry to Kerry", went through Ireland. In a quest for family roots, he attempted to trace his great grandmother â Brita Gallagher â who set sail from Ireland 150 years ago during the potato famine, bound for a new life in Burlington, New Jersey, USA. It is a trip along the Palin family line. The series follows Palin's original 1980 travel documentary, Great Railway Journeys of the World.
