Quotes 

• Talent : Anything up there that moves or smells is food to the polar bear. Anything.

  Karl Pilkington - Presenter : They actually dig you out?

  Talent : If you're in a shelter, yeah. They dig you right out of there.

  Karl Pilkington - Presenter : Maybe that's why not many people stay in igloos now, isn't it? I mean, that's like a fridge full of food.

• Woman : [handing him a ziplock bag]  We eat it fresh, or eat it frozen.

  Karl Pilkington - Presenter : It's just that when I said I came here to see a whale, I meant swimming. Not in a carrier bag.

• Karl Pilkington - Presenter : I've seen a lot of whale bones knocking about. Everywhere you look. They're just dotted around. Big massive whale bones. I mean, that's the problem with eating whale when you think about it. It's not like a chicken where you can just give the bones to a cat or stick it in the bin. You've got a big massive bone about the size of a Ford Fiesta. Everyone knows what you've had for your tea. It's out in the garden. Big massive bone. Can't get shut off.

• Karl Pilkington - Presenter : [standing in snow-covered landscape]  What's the point in this program being in HD? It's a waste of time being in colour. It's giving me a headache.

• Richard : He wants you to appreciate the damage that global warming is doing.

  Karl Pilkington - Presenter : It's not me who wants to be told. It's Suzanne at home. She's into wasting energy. Hair dryer. Doing her hair all the time. No, I don't do that. I am energy efficient 'cause I'm bald. I'm not wasting hot water washing me hair. No hair dryer. If she cared so much, shave her head.

• Talent : You alright?

  Karl Pilkington - Presenter : [exhausted]  Yeah. You're using all me breath up. You keep saying, "you alright," I've got to say yeah, then I use my breath up.

  Talent : Okay. You sure?
