Saturday mornings are about to get wild, and we are starting with a

:00:14.:00:21.

splash. For the next 10 weeks, we are travelling the length and

:00:21.:00:29.

breadth of the country, and we could well be coming near you. We

:01:56.:02:00.

the 2012 Olympic Games. They this time next year, this place will be

:02:00.:02:05.

flooded with the elite athletes. Today we couldn't get any of those,

:02:05.:02:14.

instead we have our own team, the Live 'n' Deadly group. We have got

:02:14.:02:20.

our Live 'n' Deadly audience. And bringing a touch of Olympic class

:02:20.:02:23.

to the proceedings this week, we have some very special guest, none

:02:23.:02:30.

other than the world freestyle kayaking champion, James Bebbington.

:02:30.:02:35.

Will you do so moves on the water later on? I've definitely. It is

:02:35.:02:40.

worth sticking around for. We also have the Great Britain youth

:02:40.:02:49.

grafting team. Looking a bit like a team of bright blue creatures!

:02:50.:02:54.

that wasn't enough for you, here are some other deadly treats we

:02:54.:03:02.

have on offer. Coming up on today's show, Steve sets our first group of

:03:02.:03:05.

adventurers a deadly mission to experience life as a salmon. Naomi

:03:05.:03:14.

get airborne. We will be checking out some snappy critters with the

:03:14.:03:23.

deadly bite. And we reveal the needle-sharp teeth of a hunter that

:03:23.:03:28.

haunts the UK's waterways. action-packed show. We are so

:03:28.:03:35.

pleased to be back and we are about to crank the deadliness up a notch

:03:35.:03:39.

or 3, isn't that right? Over the course of the series, I will be

:03:39.:03:43.

introducing you to some of the most lethal animals on earth. It will be

:03:43.:03:48.

things like the most venomous snakes, spiders and scorpions, and

:03:48.:03:53.

it will also involve me diving live with sharks. I'm not joking, we

:03:53.:03:58.

will be doing it, but today we start with one lethal hero inside

:03:58.:04:05.

this box. Pliny to make sure I am wearing this club because it has a

:04:05.:04:13.

sharp set of teeth, but firstly watch this. This is not a dinosaur,

:04:13.:04:20.

this lizard is a thoroughly modern animal. It Tong is what it uses to

:04:20.:04:24.

sense the environment, they are opportunists, not foresee. They

:04:24.:04:32.

will eat eggs no problem whatsoever, even go for turtle hatchlings. But

:04:32.:04:36.

this it is an animal that will take any opportunity that comes its way.

:04:36.:04:42.

They are great climbers, swimmers, and they can run. The biggest of

:04:42.:04:46.

all of them is the commode or a dragon. You can't believe it is not

:04:46.:04:53.

a dinosaur - look at that! I have a very keen lizard inside here now,

:04:53.:05:03.
:05:03.:05:03.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:05:03.:05:46.

and as he comes out into the open, Can you hear the crunching as its

:05:46.:05:54.

teeth go through the school? They appointed, very sharp. They look

:05:54.:06:00.

more in place in a shark's mouth. I more in place in a shark's mouth. I

:06:00.:06:02.

would not want to get bitten. Look at the way it is bracing itself,

:06:02.:06:07.

pushing backwards to get a really good hold of the fish. It is going

:06:07.:06:16.

to tear a chunk out and stuff it down in one go. You are absolutely

:06:16.:06:20.

wonderful. Monitor lizards are my favourite groups of animals. We

:06:20.:06:24.

will have lots more deadly creatures on the series and they

:06:24.:06:31.

will feature on the top 10 leaderboard. Definitely a contender

:06:31.:06:37.

for the ultimate top Ten deadliest, but what is the Live 'n' Deadly Top

:06:37.:06:44.

Ten deadliest? This is it. Each episode will be stacked with deadly

:06:44.:06:49.

animals from around the world, so let's get this list on the way with

:06:49.:06:54.

the fearsome water monitor. As we go through the show, we will put

:06:54.:06:58.

all the animals up here that we meet in each episode, so by the end

:06:59.:07:04.

of the series it will be up to us to decide which animal deserves a

:07:04.:07:09.

place on the Top Ten deadliest list. By the end of the series, this side

:07:09.:07:14.

of the board will be the who's who of deadly animals. You can join in

:07:14.:07:22.

as well, the way to do it is to go to the website. You can get on the

:08:14.:08:19.

the planet, stay tuned because you need a secret code to get a special

:08:19.:08:24.

power up within the game. Stay tuned to find out more details. The

:08:24.:08:30.

promise you some fun on the water, that is what you are about to get.

:08:30.:08:35.

If you were watching last time, you will know we introduce you to some

:08:35.:08:40.

inspirational people, people like James Bebbington. James, I have

:08:40.:08:44.

been impressed with you on the water. Will you show us some tricks

:08:44.:08:52.

now? Absolutely. The whole nation is watching, get stuck in. In he

:08:52.:08:59.

goes. Trust me, this is going to be extraordinary. He is dropping now

:08:59.:09:06.

over the fall into the first rapid. That wasn't supposed to happen! He

:09:06.:09:13.

managed to cope with it remarkably well. These are cartwheels and he

:09:13.:09:23.
:09:23.:09:24.

is using the water itself. I don't believe he just did that! A fall on

:09:24.:09:29.

somersault, and another one. There is no doubt he is enjoying himself

:09:29.:09:39.
:09:39.:09:42.

fear. I wish I could do that! That was super. Joining us on the side.

:09:42.:09:47.

It is not artificial courses only that he does his paddling on, he

:09:47.:09:57.
:09:57.:10:20.

does it in the wild world. If you I think I might have a new hero.

:10:20.:10:27.

was so amazed and impressed. That was phenomenal. Thank you.

:10:27.:10:31.

kayaking rather than any other sport? I started when I was 12

:10:31.:10:36.

years old, it is a passion of mine. It is a great way of experiencing

:10:36.:10:42.

nature and you get to go places you can't really go without getting out

:10:42.:10:49.

were in a kayak. So what got you into this sport? I saw a guy

:10:49.:10:54.

running a waterfall on TV. So one of you guys watching today might

:10:54.:10:58.

see him on the telly and think I might have a go at that. If there

:10:58.:11:02.

is somebody sitting at home right now, what advice would you give to

:11:02.:11:09.

them? Find your local canoe Club and they will teach you the basics,

:11:09.:11:14.

teach you how to be safe. Then they will put you on light-water and

:11:14.:11:20.

then you get to do stuff like this. It obviously takes a lot of hard

:11:20.:11:26.

work. It takes a bit of practice, and some people will like it, but a

:11:26.:11:31.

lot of people will really love it. You are being very modest but this

:11:31.:11:37.

has been a good year for you, hasn't it? It has been fantastic. I

:11:37.:11:45.

won the championships in July. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a

:11:45.:11:50.

world champion on our first programme! We wish you were all the

:11:50.:11:55.

best of future competitions, but it is not just in this country, is it?

:11:55.:12:00.

You have been out there in Uganda. I lived there for the year, working

:12:00.:12:08.

there. It is fantastic. From what I remember in Uganda, there is a lot

:12:09.:12:18.
:12:19.:12:24.

of hippos. Yes, hippos, 200 he posed per kilometre. That is

:12:24.:12:29.

something I would love to see, hippos on the rapids. What other

:12:29.:12:36.

wildlife do you come across? Birds, otters, fish. What about

:12:36.:12:42.

crocodiles? You do see quite a few. It is funny you should mention that

:12:42.:12:47.

because we have some here now. I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to get

:12:47.:12:54.

back in the water, because our very own princess likes to challenge our

:12:54.:12:59.

celebrity guests so we are going to throw you in the white water for a

:12:59.:13:04.

challenge. Go and get into position and I will tell you what you have

:13:04.:13:10.

got to do in a minute. Now it is time to meet this week's intrepid

:13:10.:13:15.

adventurers. Steve set them a mission to go deep into a gorge in

:13:15.:13:25.
:13:25.:13:26.

Snowdonia. This week's mission is not for the faint-hearted, and

:13:26.:13:31.

where better to set this challenge than in one of my favourite places

:13:31.:13:36.

in the UK - Snowdonia in North Wales, the perfect spot for an epic

:13:36.:13:41.

adventure. With its fast, furious rivers, and steep gorges, I am

:13:41.:13:46.

going to need a team with a head for heights and nerves of steel. I

:13:46.:13:50.

have tracked down a team of climbers who should be up for the

:13:50.:13:59.

challenge. My name is Sophie and I am 13. My name is Brian and I am 14.

:13:59.:14:09.
:14:09.:14:10.

I am 13. I am 11 years old. I am Joe and I am 12 years old. We are

:14:10.:14:15.

young climbers. Their instructor has a message for them. Gather

:14:15.:14:23.

round, we have a mission from Steve. I it understand you are all

:14:23.:14:29.

climbers, good on you. Today I have a very special challenge for you, I

:14:29.:14:33.

want you to take those indoor skills and drive them out in the

:14:33.:14:36.

great outdoors. I want you to follow the journey of one of the

:14:36.:14:41.

most extraordinary creatures on the planet. Atlantic salmon make the

:14:41.:14:46.

journey from the sea back to rivers, swimming against the flow, so your

:14:46.:14:50.

mission is to follow their journey, gorge scrambling up stream. You

:14:51.:14:55.

will need some assistance but I have found the perfect group to

:14:55.:15:05.
:15:05.:15:10.

take care of you. Up for it? The team make their way to meet

:15:10.:15:17.

their instructive. Well come, my name is Lawrence and I am you are

:15:17.:15:20.

scrambling instructor for today. But there is a little bit of extra

:15:20.:15:25.

kit needed. Because this will be a whole different world of climbing.

:15:26.:15:30.

A wet suit will keep them warm in the fast-moving water. A climbing

:15:30.:15:34.

harness will help them tackle the tricky parts of the gorge. A

:15:34.:15:39.

buoyancy aid to keep them afloat in the deeper pools. And of course,

:15:39.:15:46.

the all important Helmut. Now we are all kitted up, let us go and

:15:46.:15:56.
:15:56.:16:01.

Good stuff. Get a little deeper here. There is a lot more where

:16:01.:16:09.

that came from! Welcome to the World of the salmon. OK, we are

:16:09.:16:15.

heading into the gorge so we have some say to rules. First is Gray is

:16:15.:16:20.

the grip, Green is for slept. If it looks green, it is probably slippy.

:16:20.:16:24.

The rock might be wet, it does not mean it is that the, if you are not

:16:24.:16:29.

sure, give it at Test with you for it and see if it is slippy. But as

:16:29.:16:37.

head on. Good luck. I think you will need it! Atlantic salmon are

:16:37.:16:42.

powerful swimmers, able to jump up waterfalls over three metres high.

:16:42.:16:50.

And all against the flow of the surging river. Now, it is up to our

:16:50.:17:00.
:17:00.:17:01.

team to follow their path. OK, guys. Welcome to the gorge, this is colt

:17:01.:17:06.

the elephant. We are going to go through this and under it. You can

:17:06.:17:10.

imagine how hard that would be for the salmon. If you want to go first,

:17:10.:17:16.

OK? It is time to put those in poor climbing skills to the test.

:17:16.:17:26.
:17:26.:17:42.

climb when ready. Key to the right. As our team make great progress up

:17:42.:17:47.

the waterfall, using their climbing skills and a little help from the

:17:47.:17:51.

ropes, the salmon used their powerful muscles and streamlined

:17:51.:17:58.

bodies to battle against the current. Well done ex-pats good

:17:59.:18:08.
:18:09.:18:10.

stuff. Well done! That was quite hard, but it was really fun. Well

:18:10.:18:14.

done, you made it, do you think the salmon could do it? Yes, but it

:18:14.:18:18.

would be really hard. We have not got as wet as the salmon yet and we

:18:19.:18:22.

are going to do that now. I am going to show you how to do at

:18:22.:18:26.

belly-flop jump into the pool. I think the salmon would probably

:18:26.:18:32.

like this pool. Lawrence knows this caught inside out and can show the

:18:32.:18:38.

team the safest places to jump. But he cannot let them have all the fun.

:18:38.:18:43.

Just down here, I am going to put my arms out and a nice big belly

:18:43.:18:53.
:18:53.:18:57.

flop. Three, too, one, go! OK, now it is your turn. Three, two, one,

:18:57.:19:07.
:19:07.:19:25.

Bands, Steve, I am having a great day. Brilliant work. You have

:19:25.:19:29.

really put those climbing skills to the test in the big outdoors. And

:19:29.:19:32.

you have given those salmon a run for their money. I am very

:19:32.:19:40.

impressed. I think the salmon are amazing. They can jump up what -- a

:19:40.:19:43.

waterfall that is really high. really enjoying it because all the

:19:43.:19:48.

water is coming down on you. It is really fun to climb out doors.

:19:48.:19:51.

wonder what the team think of the salmon now they have been submerged

:19:52.:19:58.

in the world. Salmon are really amazing! I could not agree but you

:19:58.:20:03.

more. As a qualified gorge scrambling instructor, Lawrence has

:20:03.:20:08.

found the perfect spot to end the day. This may not be part of the

:20:08.:20:13.

salmon's journey, but it does look like a lot of fun. I am loving this

:20:13.:20:23.
:20:23.:20:49.

One's ambition! Well done, that was brilliant. -- what a mission. They

:20:49.:20:53.

have both had to contend that crocs in their time, but today there croc

:20:53.:20:57.

will become their friend. We will send at them what could be the pop

:20:57.:21:01.

-- the hardest whitewater course in the world with an inflatable croc.

:21:01.:21:04.

We do not make it easy for them. The first one through the red-and-

:21:05.:21:08.

white poles will be the winner but I think they must have their crops

:21:08.:21:14.

with them or I will disqualified them. -- clocks. Hold on tight and

:21:14.:21:24.
:21:24.:21:26.

fingers crossed we will see them at the end. Free, two, one, go! Can he

:21:26.:21:31.

do as well this time? James, you can tell he has been under water so

:21:31.:21:41.
:21:41.:21:43.

13,000 litres of water running down here every second, that is enough

:21:43.:21:53.
:21:53.:21:59.

to fill an Olympic swimming pool. And here they come. Go on, James.

:21:59.:22:06.

Grab the rope, Steve. I am afraid hour when there is James and he is

:22:06.:22:16.
:22:16.:22:19.

just floating off into the distance. We have lost James. No crocodile

:22:19.:22:29.
:22:29.:22:33.

tears from you! It was horrible! Get your breath back. It is time

:22:33.:22:37.

for the part of the programme where I make it my personal mission to

:22:37.:22:41.

find the friendlier, fluffier and cut their side of deadliness. In an

:22:41.:22:48.

item I like to call Dead Cute. Hello, nice to meet you. Who have

:22:48.:22:54.

we got in here? To Baby West African dwarf crocodiles. Would you

:22:54.:23:00.

like to hold them? Is it safe? These guys are brilliant. We use

:23:00.:23:05.

them for Educational Tools. They will not bite. A wild one would buy.

:23:05.:23:11.

If you can hold its tail like that. I never thought I would be meeting

:23:11.:23:15.

a crocodile. But these guys, how can you resist them? They are

:23:15.:23:23.

lovely. What got you into crocodiles? I am quite another to

:23:23.:23:27.

person, I could not keep cats and rabbits and things like that as

:23:27.:23:31.

pets, so why pestered mum and dad until they gave in and let me start

:23:31.:23:35.

keeping reptiles. I have always had a fascination with crocodiles, they

:23:35.:23:43.

are the perfect predator. And they have massive IDPs. The reason they

:23:43.:23:46.

have big guys when they are a young like this is because they have a

:23:46.:23:51.

lot of predators, a lot of animals eat them and have very small amount

:23:51.:24:00.

of them survive. Just 1%? Do they have any defence mechanisms?

:24:00.:24:04.

thing they use is this little square patch, which is light brown

:24:04.:24:09.

at the moment, it is a camera flash thing they used, it looks like a

:24:09.:24:19.

dead floating leaf. They are cute! Little short snouts. At this size,

:24:19.:24:27.

they are irresistible. There is no doubt that croc Dow hatchlings are

:24:27.:24:30.

very cute. But eventually they will grow up into something like this.

:24:30.:24:36.

This is an adult African dwarf crocodiles. And even though it is

:24:37.:24:42.

not massive, it is still a very stocky and sturdy and powerful

:24:42.:24:46.

animal and it has all the features you might find on some of a lot has

:24:46.:24:50.

crocodiles. It has this flattened tail which is great for driving it

:24:50.:24:56.

through the water. And it can be surprisingly quick and snappy! I

:24:56.:25:01.

have to restrain it a little bit. Even though that's now it is very

:25:01.:25:05.

broad and it is quite short, it is good for snapping down on

:25:05.:25:11.

crustaceans, it is very powerful when it closes shut. But to keep it

:25:11.:25:15.

closed, it only requires a single finger. The doors that open the

:25:15.:25:21.

mouth are nothing like as strong. You can see this is an animal that

:25:21.:25:25.

actually, it could really do an enormous amount of damage. What

:25:25.:25:33.

hatchlings, even when they are very That could be a year after they

:25:33.:25:39.

have hatched out, they can still call. And the female will come

:25:39.:25:44.

rushing to their aid. And a female, even an African dwarf crocodiles,

:25:44.:25:49.

is not something to be trifled with. This one is quite small. They are

:25:49.:25:54.

not all small. If you do not believe me, look at this. There are

:25:54.:25:57.

just over 20 different species of crocodile around the world and they

:25:58.:26:02.

have the same basic body plan. They have a flattened head to drive them

:26:02.:26:06.

through the water, eyes and nostrils on top of the head so they

:26:06.:26:12.

can remain under water but still be able to see their prey. They come

:26:12.:26:16.

and a variety of different sizes. A smaller crocodiles might take birds

:26:16.:26:21.

or fish. But there are true monsters out there, monsters like

:26:21.:26:27.

the Nile crocodile. Niall crocodiles are five metres pass.

:26:27.:26:31.

They can take prey as large as does wildebeest. Look at it there, just

:26:31.:26:37.

dragging these animals into the water. The power and ferocity is

:26:37.:26:47.
:26:47.:26:48.

absolutely extraordinary. Look at that, that is a true dinosaur.

:26:48.:26:52.

I can show you some of those crocodiles Features right now, if

:26:52.:27:02.

Pat Wall coming closer. -- if Pat will coming closer. I can show you

:27:02.:27:08.

that I lead. See if it will blink. It has a main I live here and this

:27:08.:27:13.

one below. There is also a third eyelid which acts like a pair of

:27:13.:27:17.

goggles, cleaning the high and helping them to see underwater. You

:27:17.:27:22.

can see now that the eyes are on top of the head. Then australs as

:27:22.:27:26.

well. So this animal can be completely under water and still

:27:26.:27:32.

see an breeze. It is marvellously camouflaged. None of it is uniform,

:27:32.:27:37.

it is a morass of different shades and sports and different shapes

:27:37.:27:41.

that are made by piece gales, it breaks up the outline. It is a

:27:41.:27:46.

wonderfully camouflaged animal. It can swim at great speed. It can run

:27:46.:27:52.

along the bottom. It is an absolute master. When it is fully grown, it

:27:52.:27:59.

is definitely deadly. Well, I am going with irresistibly cute when

:27:59.:28:04.

they are small, but when they grow up, definitely a contender for

:28:04.:28:08.

Ultimate Top Ten Deadliest. Up it goes. We will see what animals from

:28:08.:28:12.

today's programme will go on to the ultimate leaderboard later. Last

:28:12.:28:17.

year, literally millions of you were playing Deadly Dash on the

:28:17.:28:22.

website. Is Steve, being chased by killer bees, crocodiles and hippos.

:28:22.:28:27.

If anyone could Tommy had to get past ahead: the message board,

:28:27.:28:34.

under-appreciated. -- if anyone can tell me how to get past that hippo.

:28:34.:28:37.

We have two new games, Deadly Scramble, way you can put your

:28:37.:28:43.

animal knowledge of the tests and beat the clock. Is there anything

:28:43.:28:49.

you computer-generated sell does not do? Knitting. And if that was

:28:49.:28:59.
:28:59.:29:01.

not enough, we present to you chew the fanfare, Deadly Planet. It is

:29:01.:29:06.

quite simple. It is an absolutely beautiful game. The backdrop saw

:29:06.:29:11.

glorious. It takes you all the way round the world. You go up into the

:29:11.:29:16.

treetops, down into cave, there are 24 different levels, but some of

:29:16.:29:21.

them, you can only unlock with a secret code. You get special powers

:29:21.:29:25.

with the code and we will give you the first coat right now.

:29:25.:29:35.
:29:35.:29:37.

retires. Poor, scorpion, Scholl, bat. This will give you the power

:29:37.:29:46.

of night vision. How is your night- vision? Actually, not that great.

:29:46.:29:51.

You are such a deep. I am a teacher and proud. Now it is time for the

:29:51.:30:01.
:30:01.:30:02.

part of the show we like to call... The Big Adventure! Although this

:30:02.:30:12.
:30:12.:30:12.

We have some incredible birds of prey living on our doorstep. There

:30:12.:30:17.

is some impressive talent out there - the peregrine falcon, the goshawk

:30:17.:30:23.

with its astonishing precision accuracy, and of course the golden

:30:23.:30:28.

eagle. But the one that always catches my eye is the one we refer

:30:28.:30:35.

to as the aerial gymnast. It is of course the hobby. Powering through

:30:35.:30:39.

the air at incredible speeds, and one of the most agile birds in the

:30:39.:30:49.
:30:49.:30:52.

sky. I am pretty eager to experience a piece of their world.

:30:52.:30:57.

Let's do it! I am clearly not able to fly by myself, so the only way I

:30:57.:31:04.

can get anywhere near his by wing walking. This is the closest I will

:31:04.:31:07.

ever come to experience in aerial acrobatics and catching a small

:31:07.:31:13.

glimpse of what it might be like to be a master of the skies, just like

:31:13.:31:18.

the hobby. Earlier today, I met up with Philip Holmes who knows about

:31:18.:31:22.

these incredible birds and might be able to prepare me for what is in

:31:23.:31:30.

store. They are aerial acrobats, aren't they? Yes, they are very

:31:30.:31:36.

fast birds, they can do 100 mph. They are in the air all the time as

:31:36.:31:41.

well. They don't stop when they catch a dragonfly, they just carry

:31:41.:31:49.

on. They can stop in the air, turnover, almost fly upside-down.

:31:49.:31:52.

Because they are chasing the dragon flies, they have got to be very

:31:53.:32:02.
:32:03.:32:03.

fast. They are built for speed, and for a can they speed. So it behaves

:32:03.:32:13.
:32:13.:32:16.

like a stunt plane. Yes, loop the loop, it can do all of those things.

:32:16.:32:23.

So, if the hobby performs like a stunt plane, what better way to

:32:23.:32:33.
:32:33.:32:52.

This is amazing! It really is a bird's-eye view. This is phenomenal.

:32:52.:32:58.

Wow! I do feel like a bird. It is incredible to think a hobby can

:32:58.:33:07.

travel at the speed of this plain, around 100 mph. It is so hard

:33:08.:33:17.
:33:18.:33:30.

against the immense pressure of the I can barely see anything. I don't

:33:30.:33:35.

know how to a hobby can see a dragonfly, and then captured

:33:35.:33:45.

between its legs! I have to say, this is not as scary as I first

:33:45.:33:55.
:33:55.:33:55.

thought. So far, it has all been plain sailing. The hobby... I think

:33:56.:34:05.
:34:06.:34:42.

They do that all day! OK, so perhaps my enthusiasm got the

:34:42.:34:47.

better of me on this occasion. I have a new-found respect for the

:34:47.:34:57.
:34:57.:35:06.

hobby. I can't believe what I have just gone. Honestly! I can't

:35:06.:35:16.
:35:16.:35:17.

believe I just did that. It was crazy. Hobbies are crazy. I lost my

:35:17.:35:25.

bearings, I was disorientated, I didn't know if I was up or down. I

:35:25.:35:33.

loved it. Brilliant. So good, but do you know what? I think I might

:35:33.:35:37.

leave the high-speed flying and aerial acrobatics to the experts. I

:35:38.:35:45.

don't think I will be taking this up as a hobby!

:35:45.:35:50.

The most terrifying, yet utterly thrilling, experience of my life. I

:35:50.:35:55.

was reliving it for about a week afterwards and I have a new respect

:35:55.:36:01.

for the hobby. You may hear more screaming now because I am joined

:36:01.:36:06.

by the Great Britain rafting team. So you are currently the British

:36:06.:36:12.

junior champions, how does it feel to represent your country? It is

:36:12.:36:17.

brilliant. It is great to train for future events. What have you got

:36:17.:36:22.

coming up? The World Championships in Costa Rica. Are you going to

:36:22.:36:28.

bring home gold? Definitely. long have you been involved?

:36:28.:36:34.

Personally I have been kayaking since I was 10. We have been

:36:34.:36:39.

together for about two years, and we represented Great Britain at the

:36:39.:36:42.

world championships last year. Hopefully we will bring home gold

:36:42.:36:48.

this year. Do you fancy having a novice crew member on board? Jump

:36:48.:36:54.

in. I might slow you down but at least I will be in safe hands. So

:36:55.:37:01.

my feet go in these bits. What do I do? Hold the paddle with this hand,

:37:01.:37:09.

and copy everything I do. unofficial time to get down the

:37:09.:37:15.

course is 93 seconds, do you think we can beat that? I will try not to

:37:15.:37:22.

let you down. This is quite nice actually, it is quite calm. And

:37:22.:37:32.
:37:32.:37:39.

about, it is getting crazy. Off we go! Lean back over the big drops.

:37:39.:37:44.

They have obviously put me in the front seat because it is the most

:37:44.:37:51.

important position on the boat. Watch and learn, boys. Big strokes,

:37:51.:38:01.
:38:01.:38:10.

come on. Lean back! Go, power. This is fun. If you get a chance to do

:38:10.:38:20.
:38:20.:38:21.

this, go. This is cool. What did I say? 13,000 litres of water, I

:38:21.:38:31.
:38:31.:38:49.

Do we have a time? 75! That is amazing. They broke the record and

:38:49.:38:54.

Naomi didn't slow them down too much. I love the way she is in the

:38:54.:39:00.

front of the boat, giving orders! I should say to you that grafting is

:39:01.:39:05.

a sport anyone can try. You don't have to be particularly fit, there

:39:05.:39:09.

are white water rivers you can go to. If you were watching last

:39:10.:39:13.

series, you will know we came across an enormous amount of crime

:39:13.:39:18.

scenes. There have been heinous murders affected against Tyrone

:39:18.:39:26.

animal powers. It is time for Deadly Scene Investigation. This is

:39:26.:39:30.

a reconstruction. No real animals were harmed in the making of this

:39:30.:39:37.

programme, but let's see what we think has happened here. So we have

:39:37.:39:43.

some feathers first of all. I would say these are probably the remnants

:39:43.:39:51.

of the victim. Look at that. It is incredibly beautiful. We have

:39:51.:39:57.

electric blue aquamarine colours, and orange on the underside as well.

:39:57.:40:04.

It is quite a small wing. What are the audience think? Any ideas?

:40:04.:40:11.

Kingfisher. I have to say, spot-on. We are by the riverside, it is the

:40:11.:40:16.

right size, but what has happened to it? How do we think this animal

:40:16.:40:23.

has ended up as prey? I think maybe a hobby has come to do it? Why do

:40:23.:40:29.

you think that? Probably because they live near the water and they

:40:29.:40:34.

are the right speed. I like the where you are thinking. Hobbies

:40:34.:40:38.

will definitely take swift, swallows, house martins over the

:40:38.:40:44.

surface of the water. I have not heard examples of them taking the

:40:44.:40:49.

kingfisher but I think they probably could. The time of year,

:40:49.:40:53.

most hobbies are migrating back south so they are unlikely to be

:40:53.:41:01.

here. We have another clue. We can see a line of perfect tracks

:41:01.:41:07.

running down here. Has anybody got any ideas what that might be?

:41:07.:41:14.

a cat. It is very good thinking, and there is no doubt a cat could

:41:14.:41:18.

take a kingfisher. They are predators of some of our wonderful

:41:18.:41:23.

native birds, but if you look closely you can see it has five

:41:23.:41:30.

toes and the profile is very different. A cat's shape is very

:41:30.:41:37.

Oval and they have four toes. You can see a claw at the end, and in

:41:37.:41:42.

cats that law would be retracted. I think it is something different.

:41:42.:41:51.

The grey wolf. That is a great idea, I'm not sure we have any in the Lee

:41:51.:41:58.

Valley Whitewater Centre. Shall we find out? One of the CCTV cameras

:41:59.:42:03.

was rolling when this happened. Let's have a look what actually

:42:03.:42:09.

happened. Here is a pair of very happy kingfishers at the Riverside.

:42:09.:42:13.

They are extraordinarily beautiful birds, but territorial disputes

:42:13.:42:19.

between these animals can be ferocious. They need to get out of

:42:19.:42:23.

the water quickly or they become waterlogged and possibly drowned,

:42:23.:42:31.

so maybe that's what happened? Hang on the second. I didn't expect that.

:42:31.:42:38.

Who is the culprit? That is the face of the mink, one of the most

:42:38.:42:44.

ferocious predators found on the riverside. There we go, the mink

:42:44.:42:49.

was the culprit. It has to be said they are animals which are doing an

:42:49.:42:55.

enormous amount of damage in this country. It was an American animal

:42:55.:42:59.

brought here for its For. Some were released deliberately into the wild,

:42:59.:43:03.

some escaped, and they are such ferocious predators they are wiping

:43:03.:43:08.

out things like water voles. But you have to say it was a pretty

:43:09.:43:15.

exciting Deadly Scene Investigation. We have some very special Deadly

:43:15.:43:19.

Scene Investigation activities going on around the country.

:43:19.:43:24.

Someone has committed a wildlife crime, it is down to you to become

:43:24.:43:29.

a detective. To find out where the activities are hopping near you, go

:43:29.:43:36.

to the website, click on DSI. There will be new events going on all the

:43:36.:43:42.

time. We have a whole bunch more invaders over here. Don't look just

:43:42.:43:49.

yet because here is a clue of what our first animal is. These are the

:43:49.:43:55.

hairy legs and furry mittens of the Chinese mitten crab. This animal

:43:55.:44:01.

was introduced in the UK about 75 years ago from Asia. Chinese mitten

:44:01.:44:07.

crabs dig burrows and they make the river banks unstable. The mud falls

:44:07.:44:13.

into the river, and these animals reproduce in enormous numbers.

:44:13.:44:21.

These animals could spell disaster for Britain's rivers. We have

:44:21.:44:27.

actually got a Chinese mitten crab here in this tank. You can see it

:44:27.:44:33.

does have these fabulous furry mittens. You should stay away from

:44:33.:44:38.

the pincers because it can give you quite a pinch. That isn't the

:44:38.:44:44.

reason why this animal is doing so much damage. They burrow into

:44:44.:44:51.

riverbanks and rivers are collapsing. Silting up the rivers.

:44:51.:44:55.

Why is that a problem, the river banks collapsing? The animals can't

:44:55.:45:02.

live where they would normally be? Exactly. The river banks are bound

:45:02.:45:06.

together by roots and all sorts of things that these things will just

:45:06.:45:16.
:45:16.:45:18.

get rid of. The natural way of This one is from the States, it is

:45:18.:45:25.

a signal crayfish. And it is signalling, leave me alone! Yes,

:45:25.:45:29.

the name comes from the red underside of these clause. It was

:45:29.:45:32.

brought here for food, but people did not think about that they can

:45:32.:45:37.

travel over land, so they climbed out of their food pommes Anna to

:45:37.:45:41.

rivers and other ponds and lakes and they are driving out her own

:45:41.:45:46.

white clawed crayfish. Which is a wonderful animal but it is nothing

:45:46.:45:49.

like as they and Hardy and it is becoming increasingly rare, thanks

:45:49.:45:55.

to these. We have one other alien invader. But this is a reptile and

:45:55.:46:00.

it has its own fabulous shell protection. Have a little look at

:46:00.:46:05.

this. This is how you would normally see terrapins, hauled up

:46:05.:46:09.

out of the water, basking in the sunlight. They look lazy and

:46:09.:46:14.

harmless but once they get into the water, the whole thing changes.

:46:14.:46:24.
:46:24.:46:24.

This becomes a formidable predator. Beat -- lead in vertebrates, but

:46:24.:46:29.

sometimes even snatched ducklings from the surface. No, leave them

:46:29.:46:36.

alone! That is just gross. These animals live for a long time and

:46:36.:46:40.

there is no predator in this country that has evolved to Kate --

:46:40.:46:44.

to take care of them, so they continue their reign of terror.

:46:44.:46:49.

cannot look! I am still recovering from a rafting experience. And I

:46:49.:46:55.

have got one here as well. It looks pretty harmless and he is an a

:46:55.:47:01.

defensive posture. But these animals live for an awful lot

:47:01.:47:06.

longer than people realise. Someone buys them as a pet. With the

:47:06.:47:10.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and stop. How long will they live?

:47:10.:47:15.

record for the species is over 70 years. That is a lifetime for us.

:47:15.:47:19.

It is an enormous commitment. People do not think about: they

:47:19.:47:23.

will have to have them for. consider it carefully before you

:47:23.:47:28.

buy one. Absolutely. One of the missions of this programme is to

:47:28.:47:31.

convince you that we have incredible animals out there in the

:47:31.:47:34.

countryside of the UK, you do not need to think about buying exotic

:47:34.:47:40.

animals. While we do, when we have creatures like this in our country?

:47:40.:47:46.

That is a huge fish. This is a pack. I am guessing it is a female,

:47:46.:47:51.

because the males are generally smaller. It is just a stunning

:47:51.:48:00.

predator. What does it feel like? It is kind of glossy, almost slimy.

:48:00.:48:05.

Stay away from the business end the! It has a very bony and

:48:05.:48:09.

flathead, the eyes a position on top of the head, so it can catch

:48:09.:48:13.

fish in the what about potentially, catch birds and things on the

:48:13.:48:20.

surface. The pelvic fins here. Just to hold station, Tiedemann one

:48:20.:48:28.

position. It is all about keeping its ambush position. The stripes

:48:28.:48:34.

here, it kind of matches with light coming down onto the water. And it

:48:34.:48:38.

just hides it, it gives a camouflage. The fines at the back,

:48:38.:48:44.

these are the ones that give it most of its drive, and a torpedo

:48:44.:48:48.

shaped body so they have minimum drag. When this animal wants to

:48:48.:48:54.

motor, it gives a great big whack of its tail and will zoom forward

:48:54.:48:57.

at incredible speed. It will grab hold of anything that comes too

:48:57.:49:04.

close. I would like to see that happening. It would take on quite a

:49:04.:49:08.

few of our alien invaders. It would be the crowd than the crayfish.

:49:08.:49:14.

When they shed their hard, it has come, they are more vulnerable. And

:49:14.:49:18.

the terrapin, when it is actually, the pike would love eating that. We

:49:18.:49:26.

have some footage of some pike, hunting. So, here is a plate in his

:49:26.:49:30.

natural environment. It is such a sinister, menacing fish. Most of

:49:30.:49:35.

the time, they just hang around. But once in a while, that mouth

:49:35.:49:40.

opens and you see those incredible teeth. This one is doing a patrol,

:49:40.:49:45.

but mostly they just hang there. They wait for prey to come nearby.

:49:45.:49:49.

All the fish that swim in this aquatic world are in danger of

:49:49.:49:54.

getting snapped up by the pike. It is always on the lookout, just

:49:54.:49:58.

waiting for a potential meal. When it comes to close, the movement is

:49:58.:50:04.

unbelievably quick. As it strikes, it sucks it in. This thing is like

:50:04.:50:08.

a bear trap and a vacuum cleaner rolled into one, with needle-sharp

:50:08.:50:18.
:50:18.:50:19.

teeth. That is one mega fish. Every Sunday, we will have at Deadly Day

:50:19.:50:23.

Out, your chance to come along, Beatson deadly animals, me and

:50:23.:50:27.

Steve will be there and you can try out some activities. Before we tell

:50:27.:50:31.

you about how you can get tickets, let me give you a little taster of

:50:31.:50:41.
:50:41.:50:42.

what you can expect. Deadly Day Out rock. There is plenty to see and do

:50:42.:50:48.

a lot of fantastic activities to get involved in. There is a chance

:50:48.:50:58.
:50:58.:50:58.

to see some of my animal pals. Following Steve's footsteps and

:50:58.:51:08.
:51:08.:51:08.

swim with sharks. Or try out claiming, like Naomi did. Not as

:51:08.:51:14.

easy as it looks! Pass, keeps more staff to see and do. If you feel

:51:14.:51:19.

break, you can come face-to-face with some exotic beasties. -- if

:51:19.:51:26.

you feel brave. It is an unforgettable, wondrous weekend.

:51:26.:51:30.

Steve will be doing his deadly roadshow with a whole heap of

:51:30.:51:37.

deadly friends. How cool is that! If there is one thing we can

:51:37.:51:42.

guarantee, it is that everyone will have a deadly time. I can

:51:42.:51:45.

absolutely vouched, it will be one of the best things you have done in

:51:45.:51:50.

ages. But this time, you must have a ticket. Tickets are free but you

:51:50.:51:55.

will be to get a grown-up to get one for you. You can go to our

:51:55.:52:01.

website, bbc.co.uk/cbbc. Come along and see us. Make sure you get a

:52:01.:52:07.

grown-up to do that for you. Or you can always ring our ticket hotline,

:52:07.:52:17.
:52:17.:52:17.

here is the number. 0370 901 1227. We should have practised that!

:52:17.:52:23.

Hopefully we will see you there. Calls cost the same as a local call.

:52:23.:52:31.

Now, it is time to beat Backshall! Let me fill you in. We have been

:52:31.:52:35.

pretty good questions for Steve on our website. Time to find out which

:52:35.:52:39.

of those questions he knows the answers to. Last series, you were a

:52:39.:52:45.
