Amundsen - new on BBC4

Premieres tonight. Been waiting for this one for a while as it focusses on Roald Amundsen's journey to the Pole, rather than Scott's.

Film drama telling the life story of explorer Roald Amundsen. Inspired by a gift from his father when he was a child, Roald became fascinated by the polar wildernesses. He led the first expedition to the South Pole in 1911 and the first expedition proven to have reached the North Pole, in a dirigible, in 1926. His achievements, however, came at a cost to both his family and his colleagues. 
Starring Pal Sverre Hagen and Katherine Waterston. In Norwegian and English.
