Norway
Russell Kane crosses into the deadly Arctic Circle, travelling as far north as he can go. His mission partners are YouTube's beguiling wife-and-wife team, Rose and Rosie.
Russell Kane is crossing into the deadly Arctic Circle, travelling as far north as he can go and desperate for a cheeky peek at the legendary and beautiful northern lights. His mission partners are YouTube's beguiling wife-and-wife team, Rose and Rosie. Completely bereft of any survival skills or knowledge of the local customs or language, they are wandering the frozen wilds with just their mobile phone in the hope that it will prevent them from freezing to death. Can the phone help them reach remotest Norway in order to get the best seats to view the hauntingly beautiful aurora borealis? To triumph, they need to squeeze every megabit out of their phones. They refer to online experts for assistance and their social media followers for help. But for Russell, it is hard to separate the good advice from the offensive and somewhat ignorant trolling! They summon the full power of the internet to video-call a sexy, gun-toting survivalist for fire-starting advice and beg their followers to identify the edible berries from the deadly. Their biggest challenge comes when their satnav takes them to what seems to be the home of a family of serial killers. Has their phone sent them down the wrong path, or is the freezing cold getting to them? Can the internet help tackle dog-sledding, indigestion-inducing reindeer blood pancakes and the world's smelliest food - or should it just stick to helping us put up shelves and leave it at that?
