Prince Harry

Prince Harry

Britain's Prince Harry's South Pole trek will be broadcast on TV.

The flame-haired royal and several wounded servicemen and women will have their exploits caught on camera and shown on two 60-minute episodes, entitled 'Harry's South Pole Heroes', on ITV in the UK and one 60-minute US version will air on NBC.

As well as documenting the group's 208-mile trek to Antarctica's South Pole, as part of the South Pole Allied Challenge 2013, the prince will discover some inspiring and emotional stories of wounded servicemen and women and how they have dealt with their life-changing injuries.

Twofour have been commissioned to produce the episodes and will capture three groups competing in the Walking With The Wounded-organised South Pole Allied Challenge 2013, from the UK, the US and the Commonwealth.

Melanie Leach, Twofour's Managing Director, said: "It's a privilege to work alongside Prince Harry and Walking With The Wounded on this, their third incredible challenge.

"The teams' bravery, ambition and outright determination to be the first to reach the pole guarantees this will be a unique and compelling series."

Harry previously said: "These men and women have given their all in the cause of freedom, in our cause, and that they should once again step into the breach, this time facing down the extreme physical and mental challenges of trekking to the south pole, just underlines their remarkable qualities."
