从哥伦比亚到伊索比亚,从约旦到澳门,“一笔走天下”贴身追踪人间活剧场。自由游记作家罗宾艾斯洛克(Robin Esrock)、《metro》杂志旅游专栏作家茱莉亚迪蒙(Julia Dimon),奋力对抗截稿日、时差和文化冲击,只为写出下一篇出色报导。节目拍摄横跨六大洲十二国,揭露旅游新闻业者笔名背后不为人知的真实面貌。

罗宾和茱丽亚在斯里兰卡探索了一个别开生面的宗教节日,不经意地遇上一个保证能令人看得目瞪口呆的奇异、血淋淋的仪式。而于茱丽亚在探索内乱对观光事业的影响的同时,罗宾则学习到有关世界闻名的“锡兰茶”的种植和生产过程。

韩国让罗宾与茱莉亚叹为观止,两人在练习冥想时,难以找到内在的僧侣之心。在这个体验之后,他们参与结合宗教与摇滚的音乐会。当茱莉亚跟着熟悉街头的街舞舞者上一堂速成舞蹈课,罗宾则对着一群年幼学生,尝试他自我风格的英文教学。

罗宾探索集中在位于巴拉望岛北端的爱妮岛区域,这里就是小说兼电影《海滩》的灵感来源。而在马尼拉,茱丽亚勇尝鸭仔蛋,那就是已发展成胚胎的鸭蛋,如果她能吃得下的话,那会是个好故事。

罗宾被这个叫托菲诺的冲浪小镇迷住了,认为任何以“冲浪”和“加拿大”为题材的故事一定能引起编辑们的兴趣的。在报导一个关于一艘探险游艇的故事时,罗宾和茱丽亚得以反映出他们的工作,是如何可让他们一尝,他们永远都负担不起的生活。

茱丽亚则选择较小的生物,撰写有关传统的养蜂行业。往北面朝着茱莉安阿尔卑斯山和中世纪市镇布列德进发,观众们就可认识到不同的作家,是怎样有着不同的节奏,就像茱丽亚要到某峡谷探险,而罗宾则要从高空俯瞰,在大山之间玩飞行伞。

罗宾和茱丽亚踏上这个川索维尼亚的文化之旅,到村庄去享受音乐、美食和田园生活。之后他们进行了一些超自然现象的调查,而茱丽亚查看了全欧洲最猛鬼的森林。在加勒斯特,罗宾赶上了“捷兔俱乐部”,这一个团体已扩展至超过178个国家。

游记作家过著有如游牧民族的生活,而要发展关系可以是个真正的挑战在撰写关于世界最终极的度蜜月胜地时,罗宾发觉自己竟是孑然一身,深感他这“单人蜜月”的讽刺之处。茱丽亚撇下游客指南而去挖掘在挤拥的首都马律的生活面貌。

创世纪是本星期的主题。在古代遗蹟中踱步,喝从先知亚伯拉罕出生的山洞中取来的水,还诉说了自从几年前第一次在土耳其相遇后,他们自己的生活有了多大的改变。罗宾则朝人头石山进发,那里有屹立了2000年的巨形石像。

罗宾和茱丽亚在基辅探索“斯拉夫文明的摇篮”。茱丽亚找出在基辅一天游的最佳活动及去处;另一方面,罗宾追寻一个前核弹基地的故事。他们一起前往车诺比,它是史上最严重的核电厂事故发生的地点,也是令人毛骨悚然的旅游景点。

茱丽亚和罗宾来到台北。茱丽亚决定不理观光旅游局的反对,以在台湾街上卖槟榔、衣着性感的年轻女孩-槟榔西施作为专栏的新主题。同时,罗宾找到火烧疗法的始创人,这种传统疗法对病人和医师来说都很危险。

罗宾和茱丽亚深入丛林,被古马雅遗迹包围。茱丽亚参加了一个丛林求生课程,罗宾则往地底探索一个庞大的山洞瀑布系统。

从蓝山到京斯顿,罗宾和茱丽亚认识了牙买加文化的两大基础-拉斯特法里教和舞厅音乐。茱丽亚在一个派对上发现了一种新舞蹈“daggering”。他们为了远离热门度假区而一起到南岸,罗宾利用“交朋结友” 计划 跟当地人联系上。

罗宾和茱丽本周要撰写有关龙舌兰酒的文章,发现这墨西哥国家饮料的意义不只是用来出去玩一晚,然后喝至大醉这么简单。他们从龙舌兰 (Tequila)到墨西哥城,茱丽亚到访当地一个巫术市场,受到魔鬼崇拜者的祝福;而罗宾被以杂技闻名的蒙面墨西哥摔角手“自由斗士” (Luchadores)彻底击败。

从哥伦比亚到伊索比亚,从约旦到澳门,“一笔走天下”贴身追踪人间活剧场。自由游记作家罗宾艾斯洛克(Robin Esrock)、《metro》杂志旅游专栏作家茱莉亚迪蒙(Julia Dimon),奋力对抗截稿日、时差和文化冲击,只为写出下一篇出色报导。节目拍摄横跨六大洲十二国,揭露旅游新闻业者笔名背后不为人知的真实面貌。

旅游作家艾斯洛克和迪蒙来到玻利维亚,先是考察了当地特有的宗教洗车店,每一天货车、公车、小汽车排在科帕卡巴纳的教堂之外,等候接受牧师的祝 福。然后登上位于3800米高原之上的太阳岛朝圣,两人都患上了不同程度的高山症。接下来艾斯洛克骑上了脚踏车,在玻利维亚最危险的死亡之路。而迪蒙来到 拉巴斯感受当地的民俗活动。

非洲的报导材料俯拾皆是,艾斯洛克和迪蒙要探索十二世纪拉利贝拉(Lalibela)岩石教堂,可是在此之前要克服交际困难、机器故障和彼此道德 观的不同。艾斯洛克顺着真假未明的线索找到报导的好料,顺便测试他的“人龙”理论;迪蒙在非洲最大的露天市场为买一头山羊讨价还价,血拼意识面临空前考验。

本集二人深入奥利诺科三角洲(Orinoco Delta),学习丛林生存之道。艾斯洛克与海豚一同畅泳,缒下峡谷,还抓水虎鱼当晚餐;迪蒙到鲜有人至的地方捕猎神出鬼没的摩里奇虫。二人的冒险之旅充满惊奇。

约旦是个充满反差的国家,两位写作人的性格亦如是。迪蒙揭开现代安曼市(Amman)热门酒吧和购物中心的面纱;艾斯洛克发挥冒险精神,策马闯进佩特拉古城(Petra)。一个入住一流饭店,一个享用沙漠里的五星级晚膳,二人在这趟赞助采访之旅享尽奢华。

参观惊人的新艺术建筑之一,与中世纪鹅卵石铺成的街道,罗宾和茱莉亚在旅舍也暴露了他们做为背包客时的日常生活。在拜访世界历史最悠久的马戏团后台之后,罗宾参加了男士聚会,而茱莉亚决定将自己放逐在世界最不寻常的饭店之一。

旅游作家的工作是在唤起并破除迷思。哥伦比亚很久以前曾是战场,我们的作家们现在却震惊于它的温暖与美丽,但要卖出一个故事还得有更多卖点。茱莉 亚去探访购买绿宝石的艺术,罗宾则参观了声名狼藉的波哥大防弹背心,他们俩又一同前往客他基那(Cartagena),到巧克力泥火山口浸一浸。

罗宾与茱莉亚勇敢面对累人的公路旅行,前往世界文化差异最大的地区之一,那里居住着超过50个不同的部落与文化。旅程穿过下奥莫河谷(Lower Omo Valley),当他们努力解决他们推广观光活动的道德责任时,他们的发现令他们既震惊又激动。

要发现并体验故事并非总是一帆风顺。在世界上最大的新兴都市,罗宾决定在同一天参加滑沙与滑雪运动,但高温、刺眼,呼吸又热又冷。同时,茱莉亚的 故事失败了,她的访问被取消,让她在如蜃景般虚幻的截稿日前几乎抓狂。在这个城市里,一切都是最新最大的,它的历史却拯救了她的一天。

温度低于摄氏零下30度的“银白大北方”,旅游作家难以天气判断一天是否结束。罗宾搭著雪橇在外面闲晃,到育空区学习狗拉雪橇。但“茱莉亚”因班 机取消,她能赶到“怀特霍斯”找到她的故事吗?在勇敢面对寒冷与挑战后,到最后一刻又找出另一个故事,品尝酸脚趾鸡尾酒传奇的真实性,也该脚趾酸得要命的 人喝上一杯。

彻底改变他们的传统角色,罗宾及茱莉亚在前往北泰时改变了他们的节奏,他们调查旅游学习的人的故事。茱莉亚访问了加拿大人开设的泰国拳击学校,参加重击课程。同时罗宾参加两个非常不同的烹饪学校,折服于辣椒的威力。在一个特别的大象保留区,他们俩都爱上了志工旅游。

有些故事有记录的重要性,即使它们不想被记录。罗宾研究宗谱移动的兴起,他追溯自己的根源来到祖父出生且死亡的小镇,灾难的气氛仍浓浓弥漫在空气 中。茱莉亚拜访古怪的苏维埃主题公园,严酷的历史成了共产主义下的庸俗作品。同一个国家中两个独特的经验,还有截稿日期下两个截然不同的故事。

要找到激起作者浓厚兴趣的新奇事物并不简单。在香港,两位作者决定前往地下,去寻找最刺激的事物。茱莉亚参加了新兴的极限运动,罗宾则参加夜间的 固定齿轮脚踏车赛。罗宾最后还和一位旅游作家见面,教导他如何成为自由作家。然后再和茱莉亚一起前往澳门,世界最大的博奕中心,看看他们得冒多少险才能卖 掉故事。

罗宾玩了高空荡秋千,人力单轨车,滚人球,和阿格罗喷射快艇。茱利亚积极进取的地理寻宝嗜好,探索罗托鲁瓦的地热奇境。二人都在思考旅途中的生活是如何影响到私人的人际关系,还有当这世界不断在改变时,要如何去保持坚定的头脑。

In Dumbarton, Scotland, a journalist uncovers a sixty-year history of dogs jumping to their death from a fifteen meter bridge. Could something be luring the dogs to the other side? In Kerala, India, villagers hear a loud sonic boom one morning and wake to see blood red rain falling from the sky. Is it just desert dust or could it be evidence of extra-terrestrial life? Lions living in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania are exhibiting disturbing behaviour: violent seizures and battles to the death with other lions. As the death toll climbs, will investigators identify the cause before the great beasts are pushed to the brink?

Wildlife biologists, conservationists, veterinary pathologists and forensic animal behaviourists investigate some of the weirdest wildlife mysteries ever encountered. Using cutting-edge technology, forensic analysis and eye-witness testimony, the teams examine the evidence, review the facts and deconstruct the mysteries to crack some of nature’s toughest cases. These top-notch investigators know what great detective work takes: dogged determination, insatiable curiosity and an obsession with the details. They also know the importance of gathering credible evidence and examining it for every possible clue, re-creating a sequence of events, finding a motive and considering every factor – like the weather or the time of day.

本系列节目内容是根据主角自己的话所写成的故事。这些故事非常写实,无论任何地方的人看了都有共鸣。观众收看本系列节目时,会非常有“临场感”。节目内容分别要为观众介绍丁卡族、哈马族以及乌达比民族的故事。

苏丹是非洲面积最大的国家,丁卡人则是该国南部最富裕、骄傲的民族。这支民族分为二十多个部落,部落中还有小部落,每个聚落占据的面积都有足够的水源、牧草。至今丁卡人的生活仍以牲畜为主:各人的角色、他们的信仰与仪式都反应这一点。

四万五千名哈马人住在西临欧莫河的埃塞俄比亚南部。他们和其他埃塞俄比亚人一样过著农牧生活,唯一的财产就是他们的牲畜。本节目内是两名年轻人准 备接受两种截然不同、但却又非常重要的社交仪式洗礼,也就是葬礼和成年礼;两人万一失败,不但会为家族带来耻辱,同时也将遭到族人排挤。

撒赫耳从塞内加尔延伸到查德,全球最独一无二的乌达比部落就居住在这里。本片叙述乌达比部落的三大仪式。乌达比的女孩七岁订婚,十五岁结婚。将成年的男孩要学习如何化乌达比妆。有两名年轻的已婚男子十分期待吉雷沃庆典,届时他们参加一项男子选美大赛。

在肯尼亚寸草不生的北方住着波科特族,他们以骁勇善战和偷牛著称,经常与邻近的其他种族发生冲突。波科特族每年都要为年轻的男孩们举行萨帕纳成年仪式,只有通过仪式的男孩才能与长辈平起平坐,并且成为一位战士。本节目描述两个男孩通过成年仪式的经过。

肯尼亚的某个村落有七名情同手足的年轻战士,即将经历他们一生之中最重要的典礼,这场恩诺托典礼为期五天,它会让这些无忧无虑的长发战士,变成成熟庄重的光头长老,恩诺托典礼结束后,这些战士就必须放弃自由生活,成家立业并扛起身为马赛族长老应负的责任。

爱好和平的朗迪耶族住在肯尼亚北部的尼度托山和查尔比沙漠之间。他们一直维持古老传统,过著安宁的游牧生活。历经三年的旱灾之后,天空终降雨,戈博雷村的朗迪耶族人准备进行月相周期仪式。戈博雷村有三人因旱灾而死亡,这件事深深影响村民对于生死的看法。
