The Professor and Brian are stuck in the loft awaiting the arrival of a messenger pigeon. While there, they accidentally send the university's weather system haywire, sending floods, fog and baking heat through the corridors. This then makes it difficult for a reluctant Alex to help his dad - one of the university's historians - answer the question: has he really found the missing diary of Captain Scott?
