In the first of a two-part visit to New Zealand, the presenter visits the South Island, arriving via the west coast and the atmospheric Milford Sound. Overnight the ship sails to the city of Dunedin, where Susan takes an excursion along the Taieri Gorge Railway. She also visits Lyttleton, and experiences life on a working sheep farm. The ship then heads for the North Island, and New Zealand's capital, Wellington. The comedian enjoys an excursion to Middle-Earth, and visits some of the locations from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film saga.
