Episode 2 of 4

Short on food supplies, Ben and Graham must survive on porridge. 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 episode, Ben and Graham are short on food supplies and can't radio main base.

Tensions rise as they are forced to survive on porridge.
