Episode 1
Lonely scientist Ben keeps a cheery audio diary in sub-Antarctica. Stars Reece Shearsmith and Julian Rhind-Tutt. From June 2012.
Ben is on the trip of a lifetime to Sub-Antarctica.
Yet he's trapped in an icy hell with one other person, a dodgy internet connection and a Dictaphone.
Fellow travelling scientist Graham is also a nerd, so he's not much help in alleviating the loneliness. No wonder they both fail to share all the highs and lows of exploring this beautiful, but lonely landscape.
So, Ben tries to socially adapt to his loneliness by keeping a cheery audio diary.
In this opening episode, Ben loses his watch and logs on to a dating website.
