15	Phileas Fogg wants to marry the lovely Belinda Maze, niece to the unscrupulous Lord Maze. Maze makes a wager with Fogg that if Fogg can go around the world in eighty days, he may marry Belinda (with £20,000 thrown in as a sweetener). Fogg, along with his companion Passepartout and his pet monkey Toto, sets out to do so. Lord Maze, seeking to win the bet, sends a hired thug named Fix to prevent Fogg from reaching his goal.

22	!!Tropes in this series include:
23
24	* AdaptedOut: Aouda, a beautiful Indian woman and Fogg's canonical love interest, does not appear in the show. Fogg's love interest is CanonForeigner Belinda Maze.
25	** The members of the Reform Club don’t appear in the show either. It’s just Lord Maze who is opposed to Fogg marrying his niece.
26	* AdaptationalVillainy: In [[Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays the original novel]], Fix was [[InspectorJavert a Scotland Yard detective who pursued Fogg out of suspicion that he was a bank robber]]. Here, he's [[TheBigBad Lord Maze's]] [[TheDragon hired thug]].
27	* AllClothUnravels: Fix loses his pants in this manner in the first episode.
28	* AristocratsAreEvil: Lord Maze will do anything to keep Fogg from winning the bet and marrying his niece. That's why he got Fix to handle the job.
29	* BagOfHolding: Passepartout uses this to carry whatever items Fogg asks for in a particular episode.
30	* CanonForeigner: Toto the monkey, Belinda Maze and her uncle Lord Maze.
31	* CharacterCatchPhrase:
32	** Passepartout: "Parlez vous!" and "Fix Tricks! FIX TRICKS!"
33	** Fix: "I' LL FIX THAT FOGG!"
34	** Fogg (at the end of an episode): “Good show, Passepartout!”
35	** Fogg: Special catchphrase for each episode, repeated several times. Episode 1 was "The motto of the wise is, Be prepared for surprises." By Episode 16, it was: "Learn to use what you have got, and you won't need what you have not!"
36	* ChekhovsArmoury: OnceAnEpisode, Fogg will ask from Passepartout for all the items they will need to overcome the problems on that episode.
37	%% * TheChewToy: Fix.
38	* CrazyPrepared: Fogg knows what they will need in the future and figures out what items he requires for a particular situation.
39	* ExpositoryThemeTune: ''[[TitleThemeTune Around the World in Eighty Days]], Passepartout / So Fogg may marry Belinda Maze, Passepartout / Fogg may fail because of Fix / Unless Fogg nixes Fix's tricks / Around the World with Passepartout.''
40	* HarmlessVillain: Fix, no matter how much he tries, is unable to keep Fogg and Passepartout from reaching their goal.
41	* HurricaneOfAphorisms: Fogg spouts proverbs to Passepartout at the beginning of every episode, the events of which invariably go on to demonstrate the wisdom of said aphorism.
42	* MarilynManeuver: Belinda Maze in the intro. Due to bouncing with a pogo stick, her dress folds up enough to cover her upper body, exposing her underwear.
43	* MasterOfDisguise: Fix. His disguises can fool Passepartout.
44	* MellowFellow: Fogg, no matter the situation, tends to be unflappable ... though by Episode 16 he occasionally allows his face to display exasperation. Never for long, though.
45	%%* MsFanservice: Belinda.
46	* ProperLady: Belinda, who is devoted to Fogg and is nicer than her uncle, is very much a dignified British lady.
47	* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Phileas Fogg, as in the novel, is a proper gentleman.
48	* RoadSignReversal: Fix does this in the first episode to keep Fogg and Passepartout from reaching Buckingham Palace.

52	* TalkingToThemself: Fix: "Have you got a plan, Mr. Fix?" "Have I got a plan, Mr. Fix? Have I got a plan?"
53	* TimeTitle: An adaptation of the novel, ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''.
