A series of ten programmes
Driven by ambition and greed; or in quest of prestige and glory; or searching for a unique brand of personal fulfilment; they deserted their homelands to make journeys never before achieved.
Episode 1: The Story of Roald Amundsen and his incredible journey to the South Pole in 1911.
Written by Ian Rodger
Introduced and narrated by David Attenborough from the Royal Geographical Society, London
A wave of shocked disbelief rebounded through Britain at the news that Scott of the Antarctic had an unexpected rival. At the last moment Roald Amundsen, a tough and moody Norwegian, decided to race the British expedition to the South Pole. For Scott the competition was to end in tragedy and death. And it was Amundsen, single-minded to the point of obsession, who succeeded and lived.
Director David Cobham
Producer Michael Latham

In Macao at the end of the 19th century, lives Mr Clay , a very old and wealthy merchant. Clay spends his sleepless night:. in the company of his book-keeper Levinsky who reads to him from his account books to pass the long tedious hours.
One night Clay alters the routine and begins to tell a true story of a rich old man, his beautiful wife and a young sailor - until Levinsky interrupts. The story, he says, is told on every ship but never really happened. Clay resolves to turn fiction into fact.
