The latest attempt (Batch 4) brings together a group of disparate creatures who live in what they believe is a cosy home but is actually a facade created by the lab computers. They have human personalities and names, wear specially designed clothes, speak in a pseudo-intellectual fashion, eat gourmet food, drink fine wines, read books and magazines and generally live like humans in luxury. Their leader, both by size and brain-power, is a horse named Philip Masterson-Bowie, then there's a dog (Winona Matthews), a monkey (Hugh Gape), a mouse (Clare Franchetti), a bird (Mark Andrews) and a cat (Kieron). The animals chat amiably enough and dream of going to 'London', which the computer depicts to them as a 'special place' where they can use their vocal and intellectual talents. Vivi-Sec UK is run by the sinister Mr Bronson, who is singularly unimpressed by the latest batch in Simmons' experiments and orders the animals to be put down.

Join Ewan McGregor as he journeys to the remote town of Churchill in Northern Canada, the polar bear capital of the world. For six weeks a year, the town is besieged by hundred of polar bears heading up the coast of the Hudson Bay to the ice to hunt for seals. While waiting for the ice to form the bears become more hungry and very dangerous. Ewan rides with the wildlife patrol whose job it is to capture any bear seen heading for the town and we discover the town's love/hate relationship with the bears as many of them make money from the thousands of tourists drawn to the town each year.
