´óÏó´«Ã½ TV and Radio this week: arctic heroes and a disabled model

Dan Slipper Dan Slipper | 11:03 UK time, Wednesday, 31 August 2011

In the second part of Harry's Arctic Heroes on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One, Prince Harry and four British soldiers are dropped by helicopter 160 miles from the geographic North Pole.

In temperatures that can dip below -50 degrees centigrade the team navigate massive pressure ridges, boulder fields, and open water leads, pulling everything they need behind them in 100 kilogram 'pulks' or sledges.

With unprecedented access to the expedition, this documentary revealed a prince willing to pull his own weight - literally. It also reveals he is passionate about the cause of Britain's wounded soldiers.
