Pete Owen Jones presents the definitive guide to faith on Earth. Here, he travels to Australasia to explore tribal faiths.

Pete Owen Jones presents the definitive guide to faith on Earth, with 80 rituals across six continents in the space of a year. 

The big six world religions are only part of the story. Faith is belief in the sacred, and it is expressed in a rich diversity of rituals, in denominations, sects, cults, tribal faiths and new religious movements. Pete's mission is to witness and take part in rites rarely filmed before, to take the religious pulse of the planet and to understand the depth of humanity's fascination with the divine. As an Anglican priest, Pete will be confronting cultures that will challenge his values and prejudices - he will be surprised, even offended, but also enlightened. 

Pete travels to Australasia to find out how tribal faiths have survived into the 21st century. He goes into the Australian outback in search of the meaning of Aboriginal Dreaming, to Indonesia for the elaborate funeral of a woman who died 20 years ago, to Sydney to witness the survival of ancient persecuted faiths like the Iraqi Mandeans and witchcraft, and to the remote volcanic islands of Vanuatu in the Pacific ring of fire to unravel the mystery of the cargo cult.

BBC Two is a TV channel that started broadcasting on the 20th April 1964.

BBC One - Top Gear, Series 9, Polar Challenge

The Top Gear team attempt to race from Northern Canada to the North Pole, 450 miles away.

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond face an arduous challenge as they attempt to race from northern Canada to the North Pole, a 450-mile journey.

It's the ultimate test of man against machine or should that be dog against machine? Either way, it's Top Gear's most ambitious and arduous challenge to date.

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond attempt to race from the town of Resolute in northern Canada to the Magnetic North Pole, 450 miles away. 

The terrain in between is some of the toughest on earth - a mix of mountainous land masses and jagged sea ice where temperatures can drop to -65C. And then there are the polar bears - the Arctic is home to 80 per cent of the world's population, and when it comes to lunch they really don't care if it's seal or human.

This being Top Gear, the three presenters' modes of transport are a little out of the ordinary. Jeremy and James drive a specially adapted pickup truck, whilst Richard travels on something a little less high-tech - a sled pulled by a team of ten Canadian Inuit dogs. 

Pitting dog power against horse power may sound like a one-sided contest, but given the nature of the terrain, there's no telling who will make it to the Pole first. In fact, there's no guarantee that either team will reach the finish line at all.
