Leaving before the Rains Come
Episode 2 of 5: 'Never trust anyone who doesn't drink'

In a follow-up to the award-winning memoir "Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight", Alexandra Fuller charts her temptestuous marriage to the man she thought would save her from the eccentricities, chaos and dangers of life in Africa.

In 1992, after her parents had seen off all other suitors, Alexandra Fuller married Charlie Ross, a charismatic polo player, and the only man who seemed able to stand up to her parents. In this witty, frank and courageous memoir, Fuller charts their twenty tempestuous years together, from the brutal beauty of the Zambezi to the mountains of Wyoming - looking at what made her marry this man, and why in the end she had to save herself.

Today: Alexandra and Charlie's first trip ends, portentously, with an elephant attack.

Abridger: Richard Hamilton
