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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |
bit of a know-it-all, you got 97% correct. Kenny be that record? We | :52:45. | :52:50. | |
will make it more difficult. We will last you with water as we | :52:50. | :52:57. | |
asked you the questions. -- blast you. Are you ready? Yes, I think so. | :52:57. | :53:07. | |
:53:07. | :53:14. | ||
Here we go. Which insect can jump a highest for its size! --? Joshua | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
wants to know how long it takes a Venus flytrap to digest a flight. | :53:19. | :53:27. | |
Oh, my goodness! It takes to twitches of the here inside before | :53:27. | :53:35. | |
they will fire and it is quite slow. I will say, three weeks. I will | :53:35. | :53:39. | |
give it to you, it is a little bit less, but I will go back to you. It | :53:39. | :53:45. | |
depends on the size of the Prix. Do fish sleep? Actually, they do not | :53:46. | :53:53. | |
have... Not a true state, but they do shut down parts of the brain to | :53:53. | :53:59. | |
recover or recuperate. Correct. That is all we have time for. | :53:59. | :54:09. | |
:54:09. | :54:09. | ||
it right! I love it. Descending your questions in. Time for the | :54:09. | :54:19. | |
:54:19. | :54:19. | ||
Ultimate Top Ten Deadliest. So, all the animals we were featuring up on | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
Live'n'Deadly are going to end up on our top 10, but only one of them | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
can remain on the board until next week. Over the course of ten weeks, | :54:28. | :54:32. | |
we will have some absolute beauties. Some of the most awesome predators | :54:32. | :54:38. | |
on the planet. Today, we have had this lot here. Give us a cheer from | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
the audience if you think this animal should be on the board. If | :54:41. | :54:49. | |
you think hobby should be there? yes! That was that we Dias cheer I | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
have ever heard. Who thinks the mink should be there? What has | :54:54. | :54:58. | |

CHEERING what about the African dwarf crocodile? | :55:05. | :55:08. | |

CHEERING -- what to monitor. The water monitor is at number one | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
for the moment. Thank you so much to everyone who has been in touch | :55:22. | :55:27. | |
with us today on the website, or by e-mail, we have even had a picture. | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
It is from Susie, who sent this picture of her dog, getting wet in | :55:32. | :55:37. | |
the rain. It is a labrador. There is no happier site in the world a | :55:37. | :55:41. | |
mad dog having a swim, except perhaps when a dog sticks its head | :55:41. | :55:47. | |
out of the window with its tongue sticking out. No, that was from | :55:47. | :55:53. | |
roots. And also, some of you have been playing Deadly Planet. You get | :55:53. | :56:00. | |
a rating if you play. One person has got a great rating already. | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
have a command there. Since seeing Live'n'Deadly, I have done inside | :56:05. | :56:12. | |
at be tent with that will be kept on. That is fantastic. We have also | :56:12. | :56:19. | |
won more, I went exploring rock pools and under a lot of crabs. | :56:19. | :56:24. | |
Rather wonderful little creatures. Don't forget, there is so much fun | :56:24. | :56:29. | |

way to experience some incredible animals. A lot of thank-yous to do, | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
we had to say thank you to the Lee Valley White Water Park centre, | :56:50. | :56:55. | |

crew. We cannot wait to do it all again next Saturday, hope you can | :57:19. | :57:29. | |
:57:29. | :57:29. | ||
join us, see you then. Good bye. The deadly convoy is back on the | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
move, tune in next week to find out where they are. A lobby challenges | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
a group of Scottish BMX bikers to take their skills at into the | :57:37. | :57:44. | |
forest. Plus, this lot are seriously impressive. Steve surfs | :57:44. | :57:47. | |
the waters off Cornwall in a sea kayak and above close to a | :57:47. | :57:54. |
