BBC One - Stephen Fry in America, Pacific

Stephen meets activists, Bigfoot believers and a real-life Magnum PI as his journey ends.

Stephen Fry concludes his epic journey with a trip to the Pacific Northwest, meeting a variety of people including tree sitters, Bigfoot believers and a real-life Magnum PI.

Starting in San Francisco where he meets up with Apple's design guru Jony Ive, Stephen explores the Pacific Northwest. He travels up the coast to Mendocino to take part in a drug bust, before joining tree-sitters and Big Foot believers in the Oregon giant redwood forests.

Dope smoking students and edgy cabaret in Seattle give way to the stark wilderness of Alaska and an unsuccessful whale hunt with Eskimos in Barrow, the northernmost city of the USA.

On the islands of Hawaii, he meets a real life Magnum PI , goes swimming with sharks and paddles with surfers. He then sees the death of stars with astrophysicist Alex Filippenko and the birth of new land as lava flows into the sea, creating yet more America.
