Episode 4: "Gentlemen and Players"
During the Antarctic winter of 1911, dissent stirs in the camps of both Scott and Amundsen. Teddy Evans urges Scott to
cancel a winter expedition along the Ross Sea coast and use the supplies to augment the polar party in the summer, but
Scott rebukes him, stressing that he will not be seen to be racing to the Pole. Evans commiserates with Oates and Meares,
both of whom are annoyed at Scott's arrogant refusal to listen to their advice on pony and dog transport. Amundsen,
unnerved by Scott's reported use of motorized sledges, pushes his men onto the Ice Barrier too early (in September), and
the result is the loss of some dogs and two men suffering from frozen-foot. Amundsen orders his team's retreat to base
non-stop, and there is an unseemly scramble. After the return to Framheim, Johanssen accuses Amundsen of being an unfit
leader, and Amundsen responds by removing Johanssen from the polar team. In early November, the expeditions of both Scott
and Amundsen leave their respective bases for their polar journey

those who think this is innacurate should read moore polar-history. Btw you can Not conquer nature like you build an empire. On the edge of survival you do not get 2`nd chanses, so respect nature , cos it has No respect for you.

Ooops. So "innacurate" --hmmm. "Everytime" I watch I realize this production certainly isn't dramatically inaccurate. Every time a new history is written the pendulum swings the other way, but it can never swing far enough to redeem Scott's reputation. "grrrr" Sounds like the dogs Amundsen used so successfully. Or is it just sour grapes?
