Man: The explorer?

Woman: Yes, the explorer. Now, that man has been to both the North and the South Poles, and he

was the first man to completely cross Antarctica on foot.

Man: I think there are certain types of people who are completely fearless and they just

need adventure.

Woman: I wonder if perhaps they’d been brought up differently they’d have ended up as

criminals, in prison.

Man: Well, we’ll never know, will we? But I seem to remember reading in an interview that

Fiennes was always getting into trouble at school. Maybe that explains it.

Woman: Do you think it’s genetic, you are just born that way? I mean Richard Branson-a

multimillionaire industrialist-he crossed the Pacific in a balloon.

Man: I don’t think that proves it’s genetic. It might be his upbringing. Anyway, talking of

explorers, there’s a programme on about James Bruce tonight.

Woman: He was the man who discovered the source of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia? Man: Yeah. Do you want to watch in?
