no matter what the hardships,
no matter what...
I'm sorry to interrupt myself,
but I think we have a problem.
Erm...
We've found it.
Right.
Erm...
Erm...
That is Lake Victoria.
It is.
Man has known for 160 years
that Lake Victoria
is the source of the Nile,
and it's not like we could miss it.
It's quite large.
It is the size of Latvia.
Is it? Yeah.
This exploring is not as hard as
No, my car hasn't suffered at all.
No, I'm fine.
What are we going to do for the rest of...?
We're only a few minutes in.
If we stand like this...
No, because you can hear it.
You can't miss it.
What?
Look, we've already found it, you idiot.
That is the source of the Nile.
"This is not the source of the Nile."
It is.
"The source of the Nile is still disputed.
"The Victorians thought
it was Lake Victoria,"
"but today we know this huge body
of water is fed by many rivers."
"One of them is the true source,
and even today, in 2012,"
"experts have not been able
"You will."
You know what?
This is an opportunity for us
to write ourselves into the history books.
I mean, finding the source of the
Nile, if we can say this is it...
And then it would be marked on a map,
and we'd be able to go, "That was us."
This is quite a big one.
That's quite good, actually.
I quite like that.
What?
It says experts have not been able
Yeah.
Well, where do we fit in?
'We broke out the map, and
discovered that two places
'are currently marked
as the source of the Nile.
'One in Burundi, found by
a Dr Burckhard Waldecker,
'and one in Rwanda, found by Joanna Lumley.
'And since our source had to be
further from the Mediterranean
it had to be further south.'
Hang on, hang on.
Here's the Nile, OK, but look.
The Nile also comes here,
into this lake, and then this lake,
which is connected to that lake.
It doesn't say on the map,
but if these two are connected, look,
this will be the source of the Nile,
down here.
Yeah, but if those two are connected,
I think we'd know about it by now,
and they would have drawn it on.
No, no, you say that,
but David Livingstone thought
the source of the Nile was down here.
So what we need to do is go here
and establish that these two are joined up,
check it out, we're in business.
And so our epic journey began.
A journey that would see us taking
on nature at its most brutal.
There would be lions, insects
and thick, glutinous mud.
We'd have to climb every mountain
and ford every stream.
And we'd have to do it all in three
second-hand cars we'd bought
