Taking historical re-enactment a little too far

[inulro]

BBC2's Blizzard: Race to the Pole re-creates Scott & Amundsen's race to the South Pole in 1911, using period equipment and period food (eurgh!).

They are travelling through Greenland and not actually to the South Pole. I feel cheated.

I'm easily amused, so otherwise the first episode was quite good. Be warned that I do find the phenomenon of polar exploration more amusing interesting than most people.
