Episode 5 of the brilliant 1985 film miniseries based on the award-winning book by writer Roland Huntford re-examining every detail of the great race to the South Pole between Britain's Robert Scott (Martin Shaw) and Norway's Roald Amundsen (Sverre Anker Ousdal).
This account of their race is a gripping, highly viewable slice of history that captures the driving ambitions of the era and the complex, often deeply flawed men who were charged with carrying them out.
