All four episodes of the ITV travel series following comedian Billy Connolly as he takes a ten-week journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific by way of the North West Passage, a legendary route deep within the Arctic Circle that thwarted explorers and fortune-hunters for centuries. For Cook, Drake and countless other adventurers, the North West Passage was an alluring but impossible journey, but now that the Arctic is melting at a rate of 36,000 square miles a year the journey is finally possible, if precarious. Making his way by plane, rail, road and boat along windswept coastlines and across sweeping landscapes, Connolly travels to the final Northern frontier of the inhabited world.
