Episodes
Chernobyl
Stefan visits Chernobyl, site of the worst ever nuclear disaster, to discover how people have survived in its aftermath.

When a woman prepares a meal from produce grown in her own garden, will Stefan tuck in to a potentially radioactive dinner?
Arctic
Stefan heads north to spend time with the Inuit living on some of the most unforgiving terrain in the world. They take Stefan on a seal hunt, but will he actually be prepared to kill and eat a baby seal?
There is also the local delicacy of 18-month-old rotten walrus to be tried. But their journey takes a dangerous turn when sailing through icy waters, as the icebergs close in.
India
Stefan visits India's poorest area to meet the Dalit, or Untouchables, the lowest of the low in the Indian caste system. Gates joins them as they are about to tuck into one of their few sources of protein, roasted rat which they catch themselves. Otherwise they survive on rice and little else, and live in constant fear of being attacked as Gates discovers when he meets members of a secretive upper caste army.
Venezuela
Stefan visits Venezuela, in the midst of a socialist revolution led by radical president Hugo Chavez. He arrives the day after Chavez is re-elected and finds a country split down the middle, locked in a battle between rich and poor.
During the trip Stefan cooks in the slums' soups kitchens, investigates food shortages in subsidised shops, and meets one of the richest men in the country.
Burma
Stefan gets himself smuggled into the jungle of eastern Burma where the Karen people are fighting a vicious guerrillawar with the Burmese army. He goes on patrol with a Karen rebel group to check on isolated villages that are under constant threat of attack from the Burmese army. The patrol must survive on a little rice and what they can catch in the jungle, even if that means eating endangered animals.
