Previously shown on Boxing Day, this programme is based on Jack London's dramatic short story about a man facing the terrifying prospect of freezing to death. His only companion is a wild husky dog as he walks through the beautiful Arctic snowscape.
The year is 1898, the time of the Gold Rush, and the scene the Klondike where 'no man should travel alone when it's 50 below.' For this man, his very life hung on his ability To Build a Fire.
