Season 1 - Episode Guide

Experienced adventurer bear Grylls takes sissy sitcom actress Miranda Hart on a mountaineering survival trip to the Swiss Alps. A helicopter drops them in the zonal valley near to the Matterhorn. Stil, just descending and camping proves testing for the winer although he does all the work and more, so a few treats are most welcome.

Bear is curious what a survival trip will be like with controversial former BBC radio and TV presenter Jonathan Ross. A helicopter drops them in the inland jungle of La Palma, the largest of the Cnary Islands, but abseiling. Jonathan displays a curious mix of cocky cool attitude and almost sissy city boy ineptitude for the wild. Bear deals with everything smiling, even when Jonathan clumsily wastes half their pigeons dinner treat.

Bear Grylls pushes Stephen Fry to his limits with a series of incredible challenges on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in Europe. Over the course of two days, high in the Italian Dolomites, Stephen travels on the skids of a helicopter, climbs down a raging 500-foot waterfall, sleeps in a First World War trench and abseils down a towering cliff face. Stephen and Bear face treacherous conditions as a freak summer snow storm hits the mountains, and Stephen must face up to some of his deepest fears. He also talks frankly about some of the other challenges he has faced over the years, including prison, his body image, bipolar disorder and a near fatal suicide attempt.
