NEW FACTUAL
Endurance: Race to the Pole
Monday, 9pm, Channel 5

When broadcaster Ben Fogle raced to the South Pole with Olympic rower James Cracknell back in 2009, he was beaten by a rival Norwegian team, the same fate that had befallen Captain Robert Falcon Scott nearly a century earlier when he reached the Pole, only to discover that Norway's Roald Amundsen had got their first.

Undaunted by the gruelling experience, which saw him suffer frostbite and hypothermia, Fogle has teamed up with fellow explorer Dwayne Fields to return to Antarctica and re-create the early 20th-century expeditions of Scott, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Amundsen as they vied to write their names into the history books.
