Programme 1: Africa
•Simon Reeve's journey along the equator begins in Gabon, where he meets villagers who have been banned from hunting. They now perform traditional dances for tourists to earn a living.
•When it is time to continue, the team's drivers suddenly demand £1,000 per day to continue working. When the BBC crew refuse to pay, the whole team is abandoned in the rainforest.
But Simon develops a temperature of 40C and starts vomiting blood. He is diagnosed with malaria and forced to rest before continuing along the path east.

•A narrow patch of Congo-Brazzaville lies on the equator, but locals blame foreigners for an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus and the crew are told they could be attacked and killed if they land their small plane, so the next stop is the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
DRC is the size of western Europe and at least 4m people have died there since 1998 in the deadliest conflict since World War II. Simon meets villagers who tell him about the fighting and take him to a mass grave.
•Leaving DRC, he heads to Uganda, where he watches a water-down-the-plughole experiment, to see if water really does spin in the other direction on the equator - and goes rafting on the Nile.

•A short flight then takes him on to Kenya, where he is greeted by father-and-son circumcisers at a bull fight.
•News arrives that conflict has erupted in Somalia, close to the equator, and Simon realises he cannot follow the line to the coast.
Instead, the team travels to a refugee camp near the Somali border, where they meet a mother forced to leave two of her children in the capital, Mogadishu, and a woman who has lived in the camp for 17 years.
Programme 2: Asia
•Simon Reeve's journey along the equator across Asia begins off the coast of Sumatra, in the far west of Indonesia.
A collection of perhaps 18,000 islands here are home to more than 220 million people.
At night the islanders sing of lost loves and the lure of working on the mainland.
•A boat trip along the equator takes Simon to mainland Sumatra, where he hears fears about bird-flu and meets the Minang people, where men live as guests in their wives' family homes, and it is the women who propose marriage.
•In Kalimantan, the Indonesian region of the island of Borneo, conservationists warn that hundreds of orangutans in Borneo are killed each year as a result of habitat destruction. The main problems are illegal logging and huge palm oil plantations, a product found in thousands of Western consumer products.

Simon finds illegal loggers who explain they need to earn a decent living and then heads to a protected orangutan area inside a beautiful national park.
•Heading east through Borneo, he arrives in a village where tribespeople offer to adopt him.
Not wanting to appear rude, Simon accepts, and the next day he adheres to local custom by giving his new father a fine pair of trousers. He is then blessed with chicken blood, presented with a short sword and adopted .
•Further along the equator on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, Simon is told of a long history of violence between Muslims and Christians.
He visits the site of a recent bomb blast that killed several shoppers at a pig market and speaks to locals about the religious tensions there.

•On Indonesia's beautiful Togean Islands, Simon stays in a village of sea gypsies who live in stilt-houses by the sea. Expert divers, they take Simon fishing for octopus, then let him win an underwater breath-holding contest.
•Simon and the crew head back to the mainland to get a flight out of Indonesia but are caught in floods that kill at least 220 locals.
In a flooded town the crew are helped into a boat with their equipment.
Locals pause while retrieving their belongings from flooded houses to wave and shout: Michael Owen! David Beckham!
Programme 3: Latin America
•The third and final programme in the series starts in the Galapagos Islands, where Simon goes swimming with sea-lions.
The islands might look gorgeous, but Simon discovers there are concerns that the 100,000 tourists who visit each year are threatening the fragile ecosystem.
Fishermen in the Galapagos also claim they are not being given a chance to earn a decent living on the island and have allegedly killed several giant Galapagos tortoises in protest.
Simon plays cards with some fishermen and listens to their complaints.

•Heading east along the equator Simon arrives in Ecuador, where he travels in 4x4 vehicles along muddy roads and across a swollen river to reach the capital, Quito.
Here Simon makes the difficult climb to the top of the volcano Pichincha.
•Simon presses on to the Colombian border, passing through its most dangerous and lawless area, where government forces regularly battle guerrilla rebels.
Mired in violence and at the centre of the global cocaine trade, Colombia is enduring the worst humanitarian crisis in the western hemisphere.
Simon is escorted through the conflict zone by a Colombian Army colonel, before trekking through the jungle to discover the other face of Colombia: endangered animals and a remote Indian tribe with a sacred equatorial monument to the centre of the world .
•In Brazil, speedboats take Simon across vast untouched tracts of the Amazon rainforest to meet remote indigenous tribes, some of whom are now suffering from unemployment and alcoholism.
Much of the rainforest in the equator zone in western Brazil is still pristine, and there are numerous tribes living in complete isolation. Several have never had contact with the outside world.
•Simon then races east across Brazil to his final destination in time for the Pororoca wave: a tide that coincides with a full moon and sends a mini tsunami wave up the Amazon tributaries.
Experienced surfers (and complete amateur Simon) have one chance to ride the tidal bore, but Simon and the boat crew forget the wave happens twice a day and their large boat is nearly tipped into the river late on their last night.
