Shaun, your on fire tonight. You must of had a messy weekend, you lucky randy fucker.

Documentary-wise there was the Kenneth Branagh one about Shackleton which was pretty good, you can still get on Dvd http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shackleton-DVD-K...h/dp/B00005U1ZV but I prefer South , Frank Worsley's original recordings of the expedition http://www.amazon.co.uk/South-DVD-Ernest...n/dp/B000065C2C

Tom Crean was incredible, if you ever get a chance to see this one man play grab it http://www.tomcrean.co.uk/journey%20of%20the%20play.html superb telling of his story

Bookwise there are heaps and heaps to choose from , Scotts Last Diaries are timeless http://www.amazon.co.uk/Journals-Captain...10382550&sr=1-2 the audio book read by Edward Fox is superb
Next year will be the 100th anniversary of Scott's death so expect a lot more to come out in the lead up. Feinne's book on Scott is very good http://www.amazon.co.uk/Captain-Scott-Si...s/dp/0340826991

Apsley Cherry-Garrard's account of his trip with the Scott expedition is said to be the best work, very moving http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worst_Journey_in_the_World http://www.amazon.co.uk/Worst-Journey-Wo...d/dp/1844131033 this was made into a documentary a while back with Mark Gatiss as Cherry-Garrard. I thought he was brilliant

The Great White Silence (Ponting's record of the Scott expedition) looks good will have to get round to getting this http://one-up-manship.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Thank you very much, that's quite a list!

Recently watched the following:

Would recommend all of them. Also, not sure if it's available for the Saes lot but the Richard Parks series is starting on BBC1 Wales tomorrow. Hell of a feat.
