Extreme Weather: The Survivors

EndedDocumentary show

Every year over 38 million Brits jet abroad to escape the miserable British weather. But a hapless few find themselves a million miles away from the climate they craved. Instead they become caught up in extreme and life-threatening weather events. These are their true stores. In the Philippines the most devastating typhoon on record sees two friends battling to rescue people trapped in their hotel rooms. A rookie adventurer falls victim to heatstroke on a lone trek through the Gobi desert, putting his life in danger. On the volcanic island of Madeira, a gentle walking holiday turns into a nightmare when unrelenting rainfall brings rock and debris cascading down the mountains, destroying everything in its path. A jet-ski session in Cancun changes one young holidaymaker's life forever when lightning strikes. And a romantic stay on a Thai island turns into a bid to get back to Blighty when torrential rains wash away hotel bungalows. Using footage from the time and eye-witness testimony, we tell these Brits' compelling stories of survival against the odds in the face of nature's fury.
