That's it, thank you! Somehow I didn't remember polar bears at all.

1: A VHS we had in the early noughties. An old man and his dog go to the north pole. Possibly based on a true story. I think the dog was a brown greyhound-y thing that had a short name that reminded me of another animal (I'll add it if I remember). There were penguins despite being in the wrong hemisphere. They mentioned ice cream a lot. There wasn't much dialogue, so I'm not sure where it was from.
2: A series shown on CBBC (or maybe CITV). I think it was Australian. At least, everyone had an Australian accent. It was set one a spaceship or something, and one of the characters was named Hobart. Not much to go on, I know.
