January 30, 2022 - 20:28 GMT Nicky Morris The BBC's hugely popular adventurer series, Around the World in 80 Days, came to a conclusion on Sunday night and viewers think they have spotted a hint towards the plot of the second series. The drama stars David Tennant as gentleman adventurer Phileas Fogg, who sets out to travel around the world in just 80 days with the help of his two companions, Abigail Fix Fortescue and Jean Passepartout .
In the final moments of the eighth episode, the trio of travellers can be seen basking in their glory in the Reform Club after locking the rest of the members out of the room. While reading a newspaper, a story catches Fix's attention. She tells the others:"Look! Something has been attacking shipping and causing all sorts of bother. They think it might be a giant narwhal."
Viewers think that the talk of a"giant narwhal" is a nod to Captain Nemo, a fictional character created by the same author behind Around the World in 80 Days, Jules Verne. In Verne's other novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Captain Nemo and Fogg cross paths after their ships collide. Fans of the show are hoping that Captain Nemo could be a new character in the second series.
