Mark Bark-Jones and Brian Tongue are two ordinary men who want to do extraordinary things despite a few tiny problems: debt, failed relationships, frightened partners, boredom, blind ambition, awful beards, ghost fathers, polar bears, frostbite, brilliant Norwegian rivals, shotguns, lunacy and the constant life threatening challenges of the Pole. But maybe Mark and Brian can get beyond all that and finally conquer it. Beyond The Pole became a hit cult series on BBC Radio 4, and was later adapted into the feature film of the same name.
