Ensemble comedy about a group of twentysomethings all approaching
the landmark age of 30 who decide to compile a list of things they
should do before they finally have to grow up. Cass (Dougray Scott)
is shocked to find that he might want to settle down, Dylan (Jimi
Mistry) is still trying to find the perfect woman, and Colin (Bruce
Mackinnon) is just desperate to have a threesome. Also starring
Billie Piper, Emilia Fox, and Shaun Parkes.
In June 1875, Frederick George Innes-Lillingston (1849 1904) set
out for the Arctic aboard Pandora, a steam yacht captained by the
seasoned polar explorer Allen Young (1827 1915). In this, the first
of two voyages north, Young sought to make the north-west passage.
His lieutenant Innes-Lillingston published this short account in
1876. It follows the voyage through to Peel Strait, where Young was
forced to turn back in the face of heavy ice. On the journey home,
the Pandora picked up the dispatches of the expedition under George
Nares that was attempting to reach the North Pole. Conveying both
the thrill and difficulty of the endeavour, this narrative provides
a highly readable account of seafaring in extreme conditions. Also
reissued in this series are two related works by Young: Cruise of
the Pandora (1876) and The Two Voyages of the Pandora (1879)."
