Actor Will Mellor and comedian Kirsten O'Brien swap their safe rides and suburban streets for some of the world's most extreme environments, unusual people and dangerous vehicles in a bid to discover who is the better driver. After four days of extreme driving lessons (and in many cases, extreme living), Will and Kirsten go head to head in a driving test that pushes them to the limit. The winner is the one who has lived and breathed the vehicle, learnt from the locals and shown nerves of steel along the way. In each episode, Will and Kirsten are paired with a local mentor whose whole life revolves around the specific vehicle and whose lifestyle epitomises the local driving traditions and attitudes. Will and Kirsten must learn to eat, sleep, live, think and react as the drivers of the vehicles would. From driving an amphibious rescue vehicle in Canada, to getting to grips with an army tank in Romania, and from mastering the gravity defying snow groomers in France to tackling huge dump trucks in Scotland, the pair must complete a series of tricky, tough and terrifying challenges. Combining extraordinary vehicles, entertaining challenges and road-trip rivalry, with an emotional experience and a culture clash, World's Toughest Driving Tests is the ultimate driving challenge.

What is wilderness, and how much is left? Russell Mittermeier of Conservation International assures us that, by his definition, wilderness still covers 40% of the planet. But is there enough to provide landscapes for animals such as the elephants that featured in Planet Earth? How much wilderness do we need, and how fast is it disappearing? The forests of Bialowieza, the last remaining forest of Europe, are fast disappearing. What is threatening them? We discuss the issue of human population size, and discover in the Gobi desert and the Arctic tundra that just a few people, or a few corporations, can have an enormous impact. But why is wilderness important? What does it do for us? James Lovelock and Jonathan Porritt tell us. Even where there are no people, much wilderness is changing because of climate change. How do we ensure our own survival and keep wilderness areas? It seems we have to include humans in the picture.
