Adventure was a series of individual documentaries on Channel Four on a Saturday night. The only one I recall watching was this one about a 1988 Australian expedition to scale a previously unclimbed peak ( not the highest ) in Antarctica. The narrator Glenn Singleman came across as quite a humourless driven person. They couldn't afford an icebreaker so hired an ordinary fishing boat to get them there. They scaled the peak but were to the boat soon afterwards to avoid getting ice-bound for the winter. I remember Singleman saying "None of us liked getting ordered to return by Don" and thinking, "well, his boat, his rules mate !"
