Wallace in the Spice Islands

The comedian continues his journey retracing the footsteps of Victorian naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace by heading to Indonesian archipelago the Moluccas, formerly known by the nickname of the Spice Islands. There Bill encounters boggle-eyed tarsiers, monkeys with Mohican hairstyles and spectacular birds of paradise on his mission to understand how Wallace devised the theory of evolution independently of Charles Darwin.
