Icedogs - the series is presently being shown by BBC Worldwide around the world.

Here are a few comments from viewers around the globe - all favourable so far:

"Benedict Allen was excellent and so were his remarks. We were quite amazed that he maintained his sense of humour throughout" (Finland)

"Just like to say that my family and myself enjoyed your ice dog programme very much over the last few weeks. Every time I looked at the Bering Strait and other remote places on the map, I always wished I could visualize them. We are so grateful that there is someone out there in the world who would gather the courage to tackle the relentless wilderness and take the trouble to share his experience with the rest of the world."
(Auckland, New Zealand).

"I have followed your progress over the years and often wondered what it would be like being in your shoes on your trips. I'm always scanning the bookshops looking for a new book of yours.If you are ever in Australia I would love the chance to meet you and get your books autographed." (Sydney)

"I saw a part of Icedogs on BBC world, ashame I couldn't see all of it. I am myself an adventurer from The Netherlands that did five expeditions before in remote parts of Siberia, so that's where my interests come from."
(Holland)

"I was moved by this programme. Benedict Allen is a very engaging performer" (Germany)

These are all lovely comments - though I suppose nasty comments were made by lots of others, as they turned over to watch something else on another channel!
