Drinking turtle blood, fantasising about buttered toast, and searching for rainwater became their daily reality. Douglas joins Alice and Matt to share what it's really like to survive against impossible odds, his surprising meeting with the Baileys, and the parallels between their remarkable stories.What does survival really take?
