NARRATION: The first problem is
where to plant your pole. The North Pole is on a constantly
moving sea of ice. So where the pole is now may not be
where the pole is in an hour's time. That's why,
as the Americans might say, "Once you've got it, flaunt it." This is it. I'm standing on the top of the world at the North Pole
where the time is.... Well, the time's anything you want
it to be up here! The temperature is about -25 degrees
centigrade, so there's no point
in hanging around. What I'm going to do is make a
journey from here to the South Pole, which is...in every direction. It's going to be a hell of a long
journey but... Well, let's go!

NARRATION: The first problem is
where to plant your pole.
00:00:03.008 --> 00:00:07.004
The North Pole is on a constantly
moving sea of ice.
00:00:07.004 --> 00:00:11.068
So where the pole is now may not be
where the pole is in an hour's time.
00:00:11.068 --> 00:00:13.044
That's why,
as the Americans might say,
00:00:13.044 --> 00:00:15.004
"Once you've got it, flaunt it."
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.048
This is it.
00:00:18.048 --> 00:00:21.004
I'm standing on the top of the world
00:00:21.004 --> 00:00:24.056
at the North Pole
where the time is....
00:00:24.056 --> 00:00:27.036
Well, the time's anything you want
it to be up here!
00:00:27.036 --> 00:00:30.032
The temperature is about -25 degrees
centigrade,
00:00:30.032 --> 00:00:32.004
so there's no point
in hanging around.
00:00:32.004 --> 00:00:36.036
What I'm going to do is make a
journey from here to the South Pole,
00:00:36.036 --> 00:00:38.008
which is...in every direction.
00:00:40.052 --> 00:00:43.012
It's going to be a hell of a long
journey but...
00:00:43.012 --> 00:00:44.044
Well, let's go!
