In his most exotic and extreme adventure yet, Simon Reeve travels around the edge of the beautiful Indian Ocean in this forthcoming, epic new 6 x 1hr BBC2 TV series. 　　Starting his journey in South Africa, Simon travels around the coast of the Indian Ocean, heading up the east coast of Africa, around India and back down the western coast of Indonesia to SW Australia. The extraordinary adventure takes Simon to 16 countries, as he braves the horrors of frontline conflict in Mogadishu in Somalia, perhaps the most dangerous place on the planet, and visits the beautiful Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles. 　　On his journey Simon travels by boat, car, train and plane. He encounters pirates, dives with sharks, patrols with Dutch Special Forces, goes underwater spear-fishing, dines in an underwater restaurant, stumbles into a seedy drug-den, visits a 5-star seaside palace housing thousands of refugees, meets a Yorkshireman on his Seychelles island paradise, and has close encounters with the amazing wildlife of the Indian Ocean, including lemurs, penguins, dolphins, elephants and manta rays. 　　Throughout the epic journey, Simon travels with his trademark enthusiasm, humour and curiosity, exploring parts of the world few other outsiders get to see. The Indian Ocean BBC film-crew accompanying him have been capturing stunning images around the ocean from land, sea and air, ensuring this series will be one of the major TV travel events of 2012.

2004年节礼日早上7点58分，印度洋海底深处首先发生了9.1级地震，并引发了有记录以来的最大海啸之一。地震发生几分钟后，一道30米高的水墙便直逼印度尼西亚。 随即，海啸又相继袭击了泰国、斯里兰卡、马来西亚、菲律宾等。难以想象的海啸破坏力将东南亚沿海城镇夷为了平地，并在24小时内夺去了超过25万人的生命。为了弄清楚在这场印度洋大海啸中发生的一切，本系列纪录片将按这场海啸侵袭的时间轴和路线进行回顾，一点点地拼凑出当时的情景。科学家们证明了最初的地震和随后的海啸之间存在联系，并深入研究了地震和海啸具有如此破坏力的原因。节目中，救援人员、记者和海啸幸存者将为我们讲述当时的可怕场景、人们的反应、紧急救援情况，以及这场悲剧带给他们的影响。

此片有助于抵挡不绝于耳的煽动者的谎言和丑闻，与当下的现实同样严肃，可也无法冲淡竞选带来的激动人心的情绪。911，卡特里娜飓风，安然公司事件以及伊战之后，美国式的乐观情绪若想要重回主流，受到以下两方面因素的阻碍：军事上的受挫和国内的焦虑情绪。这是一场美国式的诠释，但它对于自身限制的认知却是非美国式的。本片通过回顾美国历史中美妙绝伦的时刻来解读现世，将诸如托马斯杰弗森、亨利福特、马克吐温、亚伯拉罕林肯之类的传奇人物，和如今的士兵、商人、卡车司机、教师以及（甚至）政客联系起来。这个系列片及时而生动地将重大历史时刻前的美国（过去和现在）展现在观众眼前。
