About this episode
Sir Ranulph Fiennes has had many adventures since he was removed from the SAS for the illegal use of explosives, but without a doubt his greatest exploit was the Transglobe Expedition. Swamps, deserts and arctic ice fields were just some of the many hazards he encountered on the first round-the-world journey via the two poles.
In conversation with Roy Plomley, he describes some of his exploits and chooses the eight records he would take to the mythical island.
