:00:10. > :00:14.Hello! This very special edition of Live 'n' Deadly comes to you from
:00:14. > :00:19.the frozen north, Castleford, but the show really begins at the
:00:19. > :00:23.bottom of this low. This is one of very few indoor snow slopes in the
:00:23. > :00:27.UK, and it's kind of like being in a massive freezer, so the
:00:27. > :00:30.temperature is in here are well below freezing, and the snow
:00:31. > :00:35.beneath my skis feels like real snow. I guess it is as close as you
:00:35. > :00:39.can possibly get to being in the mountains, and that, I have to say,
:00:39. > :00:43.is a place that is endlessly fascinating and one of my favourite
:00:43. > :00:51.places on the whole planet. Now, that is the way to make an
:00:51. > :00:56.entrance! No, this is the way to make an entrance! Where did she get
:00:56. > :01:00.her as these?! This is Live 'n' Deadly. Our convoy is touring the
:01:00. > :01:10.UK in search of all things wild, and you are coming with us every
:01:10. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:27.Start on the sofa and a Saturday morning, and the rest of the
:01:27. > :01:32.
:01:32. > :01:40.Hello! Hello! Welcome to a white wonderland, where it is always
:01:40. > :01:44.It is minus five degrees, but we are not in the Arctic, we are in
:01:44. > :01:49.the heart of Britain at the Castle third SNO!zone. Thank you very
:01:49. > :01:55.much! Our map is really starting to fill up. Every one of these skills
:01:55. > :02:05.marks a location we have been too. Warming up our spirits, it is the
:02:05. > :02:06.
:02:06. > :02:11.And we have got a few people who put my skiing to shame, double
:02:11. > :02:15.Paralympian Sean Rose and the new youth GPs being team! We are also
:02:15. > :02:19.going to be meeting somebody who has conquered the toughest polar
:02:19. > :02:27.challenges of all, breaking records battling her way to the North and
:02:27. > :02:31.South Pole, it is Anne Daniels! this is the part of the show where
:02:31. > :02:35.I usually say something about their poor social skills and personal
:02:35. > :02:40.hygiene, but I don't really mean it, this show could not be done without
:02:40. > :02:50.their tireless hard work, I am talking about the Live 'n' Deadly
:02:50. > :02:51.
:02:51. > :02:56.crew! Yes, from riggers to run us, you are or complete stunners, and I
:02:56. > :03:03.love you all! I love you all, I love you all, do you get that?
:03:03. > :03:07.Shall we get on with the show? Steve Tess himself as the free
:03:07. > :03:12.dives into the murky depths on just one breath, but how far can he push
:03:12. > :03:16.himself. And I said some foul on missions, but this is the toughest,
:03:16. > :03:20.spending a night beneath the snow. We will meet up with somehow also a
:03:20. > :03:26.specially adapted to living in a winter wonderland and hunting with
:03:26. > :03:34.deadly accuracy. -- some owls. check out these beasts to freeze.
:03:34. > :03:37.And I thought you were an ice queen! How dare you?! Earth and in
:03:37. > :03:41.keeping with the chilly theme, we have got all sorts of animals that
:03:41. > :03:48.love these conditions, and we are starting with some of my absolute
:03:48. > :03:52.favourite. We have got a team of Siberian huskies. Look at these
:03:52. > :03:57.wonderful dogs. They have been bred over many generations to be
:03:57. > :04:01.absolutely superb in this kind of environment. They have dense fir,
:04:01. > :04:05.their walls are very special. They are very broad, they have a wedding
:04:05. > :04:09.in between their toes. They actually function almost like
:04:09. > :04:14.snowshoes, enabling them to keep above the snow. This one I have got
:04:14. > :04:18.it is rather affectionate, the leader. This is the brainiest, the
:04:18. > :04:24.most intelligent one, and the one who was going to lead. At this is
:04:24. > :04:27.the noisiest on! As we start going further down the team, essentially
:04:27. > :04:32.what to have back here is the engine room. These are the dogs
:04:32. > :04:42.that are really strong, powerful and also quite affectionate as
:04:42. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:50.well! I know, yes, I like you, too! So these ones are going to have...
:04:50. > :04:58.Yes, they have a very broad chest here, which has got massive great...
:04:58. > :05:04.He is lit in my year! Look, Willow is looking at the cameraman. Shall
:05:04. > :05:10.we get on with it? Show us how they do it. Matt see them in action.
:05:10. > :05:14.could have a team of as many as $20. We have only got four and quite a
:05:14. > :05:19.slope, but I reckon they are going to be up for the challenge. Hello!
:05:19. > :05:24.They are set in off at quite a pace, but this is absolutely nothing.
:05:24. > :05:28.They are capable of running for past 10 hours per day, covering as
:05:28. > :05:33.much as 100 miles in a day, and the thing I love most is that when they
:05:33. > :05:37.are standing still, they are all kind of agitated, barking, but as
:05:37. > :05:41.soon as they get moving and working, they are incredibly quiet, because
:05:41. > :05:45.they are enjoying themselves. And they are just build for this kind
:05:45. > :05:49.of challenge. I mean, I have run with them, you can run for an hour
:05:49. > :05:56.and a half, and they are puffing and panting, and they will stop but
:05:56. > :06:00.four seconds their heart rate is already back to normal. I
:06:00. > :06:05.absolutely adore them, but there are plenty more animals that make
:06:05. > :06:09.their life in the frozen extremes of the wild. Life in the frozen
:06:09. > :06:13.north is be on the extreme, and very few animals can endure the
:06:13. > :06:18.cold that gets down to maybe minus 40 or lower in the depths of winter,
:06:18. > :06:21.but these animals have such thick fur that they can stay here in the
:06:21. > :06:25.coldest of temperatures. Arctic hare, like these, are perfectly
:06:25. > :06:30.camouflaged with white coats, as are their main Predator, the arctic
:06:30. > :06:34.fox. But this animal is the real king, the polar bear. They have
:06:34. > :06:37.such layers of blubber and thick fur that they can hunt on the eyes
:06:37. > :06:42.right in the depths of winter for things like seals. They are the
:06:42. > :06:47.king. Yes, the Arctic is home to some of the toughest wildlife on
:06:47. > :06:50.the planet, like those polar bears, but it is also a magnet to some of
:06:50. > :06:56.the heart is that venturers, and they do not come much tougher than
:06:56. > :07:00.this lady. -- some of the toughest adventures. Anne Daniels is the
:07:00. > :07:02.polar exploring Queen, she successfully reached both the north
:07:02. > :07:08.and south poles and jointly hold the record for being the first
:07:08. > :07:11.woman to do so. Temperatures below minus 50 degrees Celsius, 100 mph
:07:12. > :07:16.winds and demanding terrain have not stop there. Surviving nuns
:07:16. > :07:26.battling against the toughest conditions on the planet, she is a
:07:26. > :07:30.polar explorer extraordinaire. Let's V8 4 Anne Daniels! -- let's
:07:30. > :07:37.Here it for Anne Daniels! So nice of you to come on the programme. It
:07:37. > :07:40.is positively toasty for you here. I like the cold. Tell us about some
:07:40. > :07:45.of the biggest challenges you have done, because they are pretty
:07:45. > :07:49.extraordinary. Our have been really lucky, I have gone to the Southport,
:07:49. > :07:54.and all the way to the North Pole to become the first women's team to
:07:54. > :07:58.do both polls. -- the South Pole. I have also been involved in
:07:58. > :08:02.scientific expeditions, leading expeditions, and it has been a
:08:03. > :08:07.great adventure. It is not just the environment you have to battle, you
:08:07. > :08:11.have had some extraordinary wildlife and counters. I have been
:08:11. > :08:16.surrounded by a pack of wolves, and I have had terrible encounters, but
:08:16. > :08:19.exciting. I was stopped for three days by a male polar bear. That
:08:20. > :08:24.must have been frightening. You are frightened that they may eat you,
:08:24. > :08:29.they are ferocious animals, but I love that environment and the polar
:08:29. > :08:35.bear, so I did not want to damage the polar bear or hurt it in any
:08:35. > :08:44.way, so that was a big fear. But we didn't, we sold our differences
:08:44. > :08:48.nicely! The ice has cracked under my tent on two different occasions
:08:48. > :08:51.now, and then obviously you could go into the ocean and you have got
:08:51. > :08:56.to really sort it out, really look after yourself when you're working
:08:56. > :09:02.in those environments. What would you say non most challenging moment
:09:02. > :09:06.was? I have been through the eyes when I was being, and that was
:09:06. > :09:10.probably one of the challenging moments, getting back out of the
:09:10. > :09:15.ocean when you are on thin ice, getting yourself dry. Have you got
:09:15. > :09:19.any other challengers lined up? has, I now want to be the first
:09:19. > :09:24.woman in the world to walk on her own to walk from land to the North
:09:24. > :09:28.Pole, and you can follow me on Facebook and Twitter. When are you
:09:28. > :09:33.going to do that? I would like to do it next year, but I am still
:09:33. > :09:39.raising sponsorship, so 2012 is what I am looking at. Do you have
:09:39. > :09:44.to take lots of equipment? Yes! Unfortunately, you have to pull
:09:44. > :09:49.everything you want on a sledge, your food, your fuel, everything to
:09:49. > :09:53.survive up to 70 days. My goodness, about 10 weeks. That is an
:09:53. > :09:58.exhausting challenge, and talking of breathless missions, it is time
:09:58. > :10:01.for Steve's big adventure! Anyone who has seen anything to do with
:10:01. > :10:05.this programme over the last few years will know that I have a big
:10:05. > :10:09.thing for stuff that lives under the water, and there are few better
:10:09. > :10:12.ways to have a wildlife experience than going for a dive, but all of
:10:12. > :10:16.the scuba tanks and things are heavy, cumbersome and expensive. If
:10:16. > :10:19.only there was a way of getting down into the Fishers world using
:10:19. > :10:24.nothing more than the breath in your own loans. Well, there are
:10:24. > :10:28.some people who do just that. They are called a free divers, and today
:10:28. > :10:32.I'm going to find out how they do it. Champion free divers have
:10:32. > :10:38.managed to fine-tune their bodies and have immense control over their
:10:38. > :10:44.breeding. World record holders have held their breath for over 10
:10:44. > :10:50.minutes and died two deaths of 260 metres. -- dived to deaths. But
:10:50. > :10:52.free diving is not something you can do straight away. There are
:10:52. > :10:58.many potential dangers, so it is best to start with an expert, which
:10:58. > :11:01.is why I am here with Sam Kirby, a free diving instructor. Sam is the
:11:01. > :11:08.former captain of the UK free diving team, and today she is going
:11:08. > :11:12.to teach me how to do it. We need a calm, sheltered bays so that I can
:11:12. > :11:17.train safely, and the first job is to get to grips with the theory.
:11:17. > :11:21.What is free diving about? It is about exploring underwater on a
:11:21. > :11:25.single breath, without taking any equipment, and it might be like
:11:25. > :11:30.trying to live like a seal all doing it for competitions. For me,
:11:31. > :11:34.it is about both. Are my going to get started? Well, we are going to
:11:34. > :11:38.teach you how to breathe. pretty sure I have been doing that
:11:38. > :11:43.for quite a few years! You might find there is a better way of doing
:11:43. > :11:49.it. How do we get started? What you have got to think about his views
:11:49. > :11:53.as much of your lungs as possible. Sam is showing me how to relax and
:11:53. > :12:03.reduce my heart rate. It is kind of like meditating and help the body
:12:03. > :12:04.
:12:04. > :12:14.Without all the usual deer, getting ready is much easier. Well, sort
:12:14. > :12:19.
:12:20. > :12:24.Well, that is the theory done, now it is time to get wet. The shock of
:12:24. > :12:30.entering cold water makes it harder to relax. I have got if loads to
:12:30. > :12:34.help me stay at the surface while I practise, face down. That is great.
:12:34. > :12:39.Compared to the experts in the natural world, I am a complete
:12:39. > :12:44.amateur. Fish can breathe underwater as they have bills. But
:12:44. > :12:51.other mammals with lines like us are able to dive underwater for
:12:51. > :12:58.incredible lengths of time. that is 30 seconds, he is OK.
:12:58. > :13:04.hold their breath for nearly six minutes. 45 seconds. Grey seals for
:13:04. > :13:08.about 20 minutes. That is one minute. And sperm whales can go
:13:08. > :13:18.without breeding for over an hour, or making it look completely
:13:18. > :13:18.
:13:18. > :13:28.effortless. -- breeding. So how did I do? OK, come up. Breathe in.
:13:28. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:33.I held my breath for two minutes. I It is really quite difficult
:13:33. > :13:38.psychologically, because your whole body is just crying out for you to
:13:39. > :13:44.breathe. But I managed to get up to a reasonable time, and now it is
:13:44. > :13:54.time to put it into effect. Now we know you can hold your breath,
:13:54. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:06.Now I can put my essential practice to good use, exploring under the
:14:06. > :14:13.water for the first time. We've chosen a safe spot with calm waters.
:14:13. > :14:17.She will keep an eye on me so I don't get into trouble. We often
:14:17. > :14:24.find we get close to marine life as we are not producing a lot of
:14:24. > :14:29.bubbles which can scare animals away. I feel calm, free and at ease
:14:29. > :14:34.with the sea. I also get to around 10 metres. But that's just for
:14:34. > :14:41.starters. So, part two of my training complete and I can't wait
:14:41. > :14:46.to get in again. It is incredibly liberating being able to twist and
:14:46. > :14:51.turn down their amongst the fish, almost like a sea otter or resealed.
:14:51. > :14:56.But, there is one more thing we have to try, and that's to see how
:14:56. > :15:02.deeply can go, so one more dived to go, and we're going to head into
:15:02. > :15:12.the Big Blue. For my next one, I will need deeper water. I have to
:15:12. > :15:30.
:15:30. > :15:34.I will be in deep open water so I am attached to a rope to prevent me
:15:34. > :15:38.from being taken by the current. It's also a depth guide to help me
:15:38. > :15:43.get down to 20 metres. Remember, don't try this without an
:15:43. > :15:51.instructor who has knowledge of the area where you are free diving. One
:15:51. > :16:00.last breath of air and down my ego. I'm a tented -- attempting the
:16:00. > :16:10.depth of a six-storey building. I am fighting the urge to breeze but
:16:10. > :16:26.
:16:26. > :16:32.all my senses are screaming at me Well, it is a scary experience
:16:32. > :16:39.going down into the darkness. But I think I've just had my first taste
:16:39. > :16:47.of how it feels to be a fish. And I've got to say, free diving is
:16:47. > :16:57.definitely Deadly. Had me breathless there just
:16:57. > :17:03.
:17:03. > :17:06.watching him! So good. A big cheer for him there..
:17:06. > :17:11.Now whilst you were watching that, Steve and Ann are all kitted up and
:17:11. > :17:14.ready. Ann, you've successfully walked to both the North and South
:17:14. > :17:18.Pole, and it has to be said, our princess here is always up for a
:17:18. > :17:22.bit of a challenge. So we thought we'd set up a little polar race of
:17:22. > :17:25.our own. At the top of the slope is our very own version of the North
:17:25. > :17:29.Pole. But it's not a walking race. You'll be pleased to hear, you've
:17:29. > :17:32.both got your very own team of dogs. Are you ready? First one to cross
:17:32. > :17:35.the finish line it will be the winner. Good luck. 3, 2, 1, and off
:17:35. > :17:39.they go. Look at them going. Ann makes it look so easy. Steve it
:17:39. > :17:43.seriously needs to win this one it so that you can come to a draw and
:17:43. > :17:50.it would give a chance of regaining a prize. He is taking it very
:17:50. > :18:00.seriously. It's no joke. A bit of a drag, this challenge. And they are
:18:00. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:13.There they come. Steve is in the lead. I don't believe it. Here he
:18:13. > :18:19.
:18:19. > :18:27.Are you all right? By O my goodness. I'm sorry. Are you both all right?
:18:27. > :18:34.Good, well done, Steve. We have one more challenge for you. I'm warning
:18:34. > :18:38.you, you're going to be competing against an athlete. On Live 'N'
:18:38. > :18:47.Deadly, it's not just the awesome animals were they to show you. We
:18:47. > :18:52.also like to inspire your artistic side. We are welcoming back Nicola
:18:52. > :18:59.Wood. Earlier we saw you making some sand sculptures but you also
:18:59. > :19:04.like to work with ice. Yes. Is it easy to work with? More difficult
:19:04. > :19:14.than Zander but lots of fun. What tools do you have to use?
:19:14. > :19:15.
:19:15. > :19:19.chainsaw. So do not try this at home. Nicola, you have done this
:19:19. > :19:24.for many years and has worked about six years doing this with a
:19:24. > :19:34.chainsaw and is wearing all the right protection. So, Nicola, show
:19:34. > :19:58.
:19:58. > :20:03.Wicked. It's quite therapeutic watching it. Once you have carved
:20:03. > :20:12.out your main shape, with a chainsaw... You s, then you can
:20:12. > :20:17.round off the edges. -- yes. Just hack into it. Oh, yes. It just goes
:20:17. > :20:22.through like butter. You can work on something the size between half
:20:22. > :20:28.the day, to a couple of days, and spend up to two weeks. You have
:20:28. > :20:35.done some really big works. What have you done? I did a piece of
:20:35. > :20:42.Notre damn with a gypsy girl and a goat. Fables, stories, fairy-tales.
:20:42. > :20:47.They can take weeks to do. It must be a bit cold, doing it? It gets a
:20:47. > :20:53.bit cold now one of them. Over here we have a sculpture Nicholas
:20:53. > :21:00.started yesterday but we don't want to reveal it just yet. Under here
:21:00. > :21:04.we have an amazing by sculptor in the making. But I do want you send
:21:04. > :21:06.us in what you think it might be. Send us an e-mail to
:21:06. > :21:10.livendeadly@bbc.co.uk with your thoughts on what animal it might be
:21:10. > :21:13.before the end of the show. Don't forget to tell us your name, and
:21:13. > :21:15.you never know, I might read out your message. We'll come back and
:21:15. > :21:23.see the finished results later on. Good luck. We are being very
:21:23. > :21:33.mysterious today. And talking of mysteries, Steve got one of his own.
:21:33. > :21:37.
:21:37. > :21:41.Yes, it is elementary my dear Naomi. This time, a trout in Norway. Yes,
:21:41. > :21:46.we are set in Scandinavia and this is a frozen lake and you can see
:21:46. > :21:51.there is a whole here and around the outside, lots of soft snow.
:21:52. > :21:59.There's no footprints around here at all. There is snow around the
:21:59. > :22:05.outside. No footprints, either. We have a stick with a string and at
:22:05. > :22:09.the end of it, a half eaten junk of fish. A very odd scene indeed but
:22:09. > :22:17.what it earth could it happen here? Let's see if the audience have an
:22:17. > :22:25.idea. You have got the best hat. What do you think has happened?
:22:25. > :22:30.as seals eat it? That's a really good idea. There are some seals but
:22:30. > :22:39.living completely freshwater ecosystems, so good thinking. Mind
:22:39. > :22:44.you, I reckon the whole is a little bit too small. Is today swordfish?
:22:44. > :22:50.A good choice but they live in salt water environments. What could have
:22:50. > :22:56.happened in fresh water? A polar bear? That's a cracking idea. I
:22:56. > :23:02.reckon, though, polar bears don't eat fish unless it's a left over
:23:02. > :23:12.carcass. I tell you what, I can tell you exactly who committed this
:23:12. > :23:22.terrible crime. It's this gorgeous them. Look over here, with Lloyd. -
:23:22. > :23:31.- Bran, the Raven. This was seen in Scandinavia, raiding the hordes of
:23:31. > :23:35.fishermen. Bran knows what his task is. Underneath this should, we have
:23:35. > :23:40.our crime scene is set up and hopefully Bran will come in and get
:23:40. > :23:47.to work, so fishermen have been drilling holes in the ice and
:23:47. > :23:54.leaving out the sticks with a line on the end of it with a fish at the
:23:54. > :24:01.bottom of and the ravens have realised they have to pull the
:24:01. > :24:07.string to get the fish. I think he is full up. Come on, codeine and,
:24:07. > :24:13.get stuck in. He keeps on pulling and pushing and pulling until,
:24:13. > :24:17.eventually, he is going to get his food, and this way, they are
:24:17. > :24:21.cheating the fishermen out of their catch. Look at them, getting stuck
:24:21. > :24:25.into their food, and this has genuinely happened in the wild.
:24:25. > :24:32.Ravens have learned from each other how to do this incredible trick.
:24:32. > :24:37.Did you know a group of crows is called a murder? This criminal
:24:37. > :24:45.Crowe certainly lives up to his name. I didn't know that but I do
:24:45. > :24:49.now. Case solved. We have come at two indoor ski-slope, we need to do
:24:49. > :24:59.a bit of skiing. I had been a few times in the past and I'm not very
:24:59. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:33.good, so I think we should learn a You guys are awesome. I only wish I
:25:33. > :25:36.could ski that well. You make it look so cool. Here we have got
:25:37. > :25:41.Fraser, Jessica and Jordan, who are all members of the Great Britain
:25:41. > :25:49.youth ski team. You have all been skiing from when you are quite
:25:49. > :25:54.young? Since I was five. Do you train in places like this? Yes, we
:25:54. > :26:01.train around the country and then we'd go away to the Alps. Is that
:26:01. > :26:06.much better? A Yes. What do you like about skiing? It's fun and you
:26:06. > :26:11.want to do it every day. You don't worry about the danger? No.
:26:11. > :26:17.going to try to get to the bottom. Do you think I can do it? Have you
:26:17. > :26:23.got faith in me? Yes. OK, I will wobble and follow you to the bottom.
:26:23. > :26:31.Good luck, to myself. Off you go, take it away. Right, I think I need
:26:31. > :26:40.some music. Come on, then, let's go. I will try to copy you. And off we
:26:40. > :26:46.go! Wobbly legs, here she comes. Mind out, Andy, I'm a coming right
:26:46. > :26:56.for you and I'm not in control. Here we go. And Turner. Picking up
:26:56. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:04.How do I stop? It's very safe to say I'm never going to be a
:27:04. > :27:07.champion skier but we hope these guys will be. Their ambition is to
:27:07. > :27:14.reach the highest level in the sport and fingers crossed they will
:27:14. > :27:20.compete for Great Britain in the Olympics. Something our next guest
:27:20. > :27:24.has already achieved against unbelievable odds. Sean Rose has
:27:24. > :27:29.been the British number one in the Paralympics and has won 35
:27:29. > :27:32.international medals, competed in the Winter Olympics twice and this
:27:33. > :27:42.year won the first ever British World Cup gold, a truly
:27:43. > :28:06.
:28:06. > :28:15.inspirational. And he is at the top That was incredible. You make it
:28:15. > :28:19.look so easy. Plenty of practice. This is a monoski. It's a custom
:28:20. > :28:25.one, and then start dinner. Suspension underneath. And then I
:28:25. > :28:29.have got to these. They are a bit cruel. This is for skiing and this
:28:29. > :28:35.is for pushing around. You can do what anybody else does. How long
:28:35. > :28:40.have you been competing for? Eight years. I did a few years after my
:28:40. > :28:45.accident, after a crash, and then it went on from there and I'm
:28:45. > :28:49.living the dream 10 years later. You went to the Olympics.
:28:49. > :28:54.Paralympics, World Cup gold medal, it doesn't get better. After your
:28:54. > :28:57.accident, what was that made you want to continue skiing? I was the
:28:57. > :29:03.same person and I was the same person and I loved sport and I
:29:04. > :29:07.wanted to get out and do it. I grasped it with both hands and went
:29:07. > :29:15.out there and I thought it would give me the same thrill as I had
:29:15. > :29:20.before. Make a fast. This is not the only thing you do. I have water
:29:20. > :29:25.skied in the past on a British team, three world titles,, set myself
:29:25. > :29:30.some goals 10 years ago. Are you still competing now? I had just
:29:30. > :29:35.retired from full-time racing. I did the X Games last winter and
:29:35. > :29:45.have got a new challenge. I'm heading to Iceland in April and we
:29:45. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :29:56.are going to cross the larger We have a prototype kite, we're
:29:56. > :30:00.going across a glacier. I wish you a lot of luck with that, we hope it
:30:00. > :30:06.goes really well. We are truly proud to have your the programme,
:30:06. > :30:10.thank you for coming. Thank you. So it is not just the Live 'n' Deadly
:30:10. > :30:18.programme that we are about, there's loads of stuff you can do
:30:18. > :30:23.on our website. If you want to go online, this is the address.
:30:23. > :30:29.has! We asked to last week to send in your pictures of you in wintery
:30:29. > :30:33.situations. These are brilliant. William, aged seven, sent us this
:30:33. > :30:39.picture of him using his sledge. He says he is taking bread and milk to
:30:39. > :30:43.his grandparents, but I reckon he has been on a trip to the sweetshop.
:30:43. > :30:48.This is from George, who is eight years old, with a snowman he made
:30:48. > :30:53.with his dad. He looks a little bit bemused, the Snowman. If you're
:30:53. > :30:56.watching a few weeks ago, you would have seen as a visit Plymouth
:30:56. > :31:02.National Marine aquarium, I will get it right, and Steve introduced
:31:02. > :31:09.us to an octopus with no name. We ask you to send in suggestions. We
:31:09. > :31:13.had loads of them. Lewis thought it should be brainy Brian, Octavia,
:31:13. > :31:18.Oscar. Nine people thought it should be called Steve. Because it
:31:18. > :31:23.is slippery and rubbery, or because it is a genius? Because it is so
:31:23. > :31:28.handsome! The folks at Plymouth National aquarium have decided to
:31:28. > :31:32.let the octopus choose its own name, so they put the four top names into
:31:32. > :31:42.jars and let the octopus decide. can now reveal that it is going to
:31:42. > :31:46.
:31:46. > :31:56.What does that mean? It is like intelligent or brainy in Japanese.
:31:56. > :31:58.
:31:58. > :32:02.You speak Japanese, don't you? What does that mean? It means it is good.
:32:02. > :32:10.We want you to sender suggestions of what you think Nicola Wood is
:32:10. > :32:15.carping today. E-mail as, what kind of polar animal do you think it is?
:32:15. > :32:19.Polly thinks it is a dolphin. Are you right? We will find out later.
:32:19. > :32:25.And don't forget to check out all of our games, there are a plethora,
:32:25. > :32:29.we have got Deadly Dash, Deadly Scramble and of course our showcase,
:32:29. > :32:34.Deadly Planet! This is your opportunity to take me through
:32:34. > :32:38.reams and reams of fabulous habitats. That is the photographing
:32:38. > :32:43.a swinging around a tan and being chased by all sorts of deadly
:32:43. > :32:47.creatures while shouting out. week on the show we have been
:32:47. > :32:51.revealing a secret code to give you a special power that will help you
:32:51. > :33:01.complete the deadly missions, so I think we have got coming down the
:33:01. > :33:02.
:33:02. > :33:09.The code will give you the deadliness of the honey badger,
:33:09. > :33:14.which will make you run faster and jump higher. That frosty beast
:33:14. > :33:17.gives me an idea, actually. We are featuring lots of Arctic animals
:33:17. > :33:24.here, and there is another one around here somewhere. I wonder
:33:24. > :33:28.where it could be... Oh, look, there it is! It is a many-sided
:33:28. > :33:33.Garter snake, what was it doing under there? It seems like a pretty
:33:33. > :33:39.unusual animal to find in an Arctic environment, because they are cold-
:33:39. > :33:43.blooded, and animals have three things they can do in winter. Or if
:33:43. > :33:47.they are a fairy mammal, they can endure the cold, or they can
:33:47. > :33:55.hibernate. Actually, that is what this creature does. When it gets
:33:55. > :33:59.The snake's northern home is not freezing cold all year round. When
:33:59. > :34:03.it comes to winter, they have to take a dive beneath the snow. They
:34:03. > :34:08.have special materials like anti- freeze in their blood which means
:34:08. > :34:14.that as much as 40% of of body can freeze and they can still come back
:34:14. > :34:19.to life in the spring, as does this animal, the wood from. And 65% of
:34:19. > :34:24.their body fluids will freeze, and when it comes time, in the spring,
:34:24. > :34:27.they can actually recharge their hearts and come back to life and
:34:27. > :34:31.spring away in search of their first meal. But this is the
:34:31. > :34:35.champion, it is one of the largest insects on earth, and it is found
:34:35. > :34:41.in New Zealand. More than 80% of their body fluids can freeze, and
:34:42. > :34:44.they will still come back kicking. A snake that freezes! It could be a
:34:44. > :34:53.contender for our leaderboard of lethal, but it also gives me an
:34:53. > :34:56.This week's mission is Live 'n' Deadly's hardest challenge yet,
:34:56. > :35:01.taking on the most extreme environment in the UK, the
:35:01. > :35:05.Cairngorm mountains. It takes courage, skill, strength and
:35:05. > :35:11.stamina to cope out in his frozen wilderness, but some animals still
:35:11. > :35:18.choose to call his home. So I am going to need some really tough
:35:18. > :35:25.customers for this mission. Rewind! I said tut! Oh, never mind, let's
:35:25. > :35:35.get on with the introductions. Name Is Lucy. All right, my name is
:35:35. > :35:36.
:35:36. > :35:42.Callum. Eye, I am Ben. My name is Stuart. My name is Colin. We are
:35:42. > :35:50.all Scouts from Northumbria! And of course they are joined by my trusty
:35:50. > :35:57.crew. Picking on me! And the experts, Manton leaders Clive and
:35:57. > :36:00.Annette, who have the mission. -- News Scouts think you are pretty
:36:00. > :36:03.good at roughing it in the great outdoors, but I have got a
:36:03. > :36:06.challenge that will test your skills of surviving the elements to
:36:06. > :36:10.the extreme. The Cairngorms national park is as close as you
:36:10. > :36:14.can come in the UK to actually being in the Arctic. Your job is to
:36:14. > :36:17.get out into the wilderness and experience the life of the mountain
:36:17. > :36:20.creatures that manages to survive whatever the conditions, but the
:36:20. > :36:25.biggest part of the challenge is that when darkness falls and starts
:36:25. > :36:28.to get really cold, you are not going to have a nice warm bed.
:36:28. > :36:32.Instead, you are going to have to dig yourself a snow hole in the
:36:32. > :36:37.mountains, and make sure it is a good one, because you are going to
:36:37. > :36:40.have his then the night in it. Cannot forget your woolly hat and
:36:40. > :36:47.get mountaineering. And please look after my crew! How we are for that?
:36:47. > :36:50.Yes! Sounds good to me, let's go. Did you save, they will need
:36:50. > :36:55.helmets, ice axes, crab bonds and one other bit of specialist
:36:55. > :37:05.equipment. -- to keep safe. In this environment, it is crucial that you
:37:05. > :37:11.
:37:11. > :37:15.leave nothing behind. Right, guys, It is a two-mile walk to where they
:37:15. > :37:19.will spend the night, which doesn't sound like much, but in these
:37:19. > :37:24.conditions and with all that kit, it is pretty tough going. So how
:37:24. > :37:29.are they finding it? It is quite cold out here, but I am quite warm
:37:29. > :37:32.because I am laid up. If I have enough energy left, I look forward
:37:32. > :37:37.to building the snow hole. I am enjoying it, I think everyone
:37:38. > :37:41.else's. Some are enjoying it a little bit too much. One of the
:37:41. > :37:46.dangers of this environment is that it can look lovely and calm one
:37:46. > :37:53.minute but then turn bad in seconds. As the wind picks up, everyone
:37:53. > :37:57.starts to struggle, as does the filming equipment. The cold weather
:37:57. > :38:02.and the walk up he has completely destroyed all the sound equipment.
:38:02. > :38:07.The wind chill here has taken all the power away. The batteries
:38:07. > :38:11.seemed to be OK on mine, but it is the snow going into the lens which
:38:11. > :38:18.is a little bit of a problem. But I have got a cloth, but when this
:38:18. > :38:24.gets too damp, we will have a problem. They have finally made it
:38:24. > :38:30.to a safe spot to make camp. To dig a snow hole, basically what we want
:38:30. > :38:36.to do is be as efficient and quick as possible, so measure at a trench.
:38:36. > :38:40.It wants to be about the width of your body and head height. Dig
:38:40. > :38:45.right back into the snow as far as you possibly can. You can then
:38:45. > :38:48.start digging sideways. You need to create an arch shape, and the
:38:48. > :38:52.reason we want to create an art is because it is a very strong shape,
:38:52. > :38:57.so the weight of the snow will not collapse it. The other thing about
:38:57. > :39:03.it, if you make it nice and smooth, when you are in their late at night,
:39:03. > :39:06.the water runs down to either side. The team needs to dig. The just
:39:07. > :39:13.keep getting gusts of wind blowing in your face, full of snow, and it
:39:13. > :39:21.is not pleasant. My body is nice and warm, but my face is freezing.
:39:21. > :39:27.My little bits of glass in my face. I am fighting a losing battle.
:39:27. > :39:30.thinking about my nice warm bed and a cup of tea! The wind is building
:39:30. > :39:40.up, and the quicker we can get everyone under cover and
:39:40. > :39:45.Get inside, yeah. Everyone is finding it pretty tough going, so
:39:45. > :39:47.let's have a look at how the real experts survive and here. Ptarmigan
:39:47. > :39:51.and mountain hares are the inspiration behind this challenge.
:39:51. > :39:55.They live in these conditions for months, and with warm coats that
:39:55. > :39:59.turn white in winter, they do not need any extra bits of kit. In
:39:59. > :40:03.extreme weather, both of these animals take shelter in snow holes.
:40:03. > :40:08.With darkness falling, our Scouts are finally managed to get their
:40:08. > :40:12.snow or made. It is rather warm, warmer than outside. Starting to
:40:12. > :40:17.warm up, we are getting our food on, we have got a hot drink, getting
:40:17. > :40:27.comfortable for the night. I have never done anything like this
:40:27. > :40:33.
:40:33. > :40:37.And it is snowing again! Everybody shout good night! Good night!
:40:37. > :40:43.everyone is settled in, and it is a good job, too. Overnight, the wind
:40:43. > :40:49.will get to 70 mph and the temperature will drop to minus 15.
:40:49. > :40:54.Morning! Well, we made it through the night, half of our cameras are
:40:54. > :40:57.down. We have only got this little camera left, actually. The wind has
:40:57. > :41:02.blown snow right across the entrance to the camp, so it is a
:41:02. > :41:07.good job the Scouts used a mantle surviving technique, marking the
:41:07. > :41:17.entrance with ice axes. We will pass then the camera. Good morning,
:41:17. > :41:20.
:41:20. > :41:25.guys. Morning. How was your sleeve? Very good. Cold and wet. As you can
:41:25. > :41:30.see, the roof has caved in on some sections, like this. This was a
:41:30. > :41:34.door. But now it is no! With the cameras starting to come back to
:41:34. > :41:38.life, albeit not quite in full working order, it was time to do
:41:38. > :41:47.the Scouts out, and I have to say they are impressively cheery after
:41:47. > :41:52.all of that. How is it going, Callum? Fine! Nice sleep? Yeah,
:41:52. > :41:57.actually, better than in most tense. If I slept OK, it was a bit
:41:57. > :42:07.uncomfortable at the time, but you are in a snow hole. All in all, it
:42:07. > :42:08.
:42:08. > :42:13.was a character-building experience. Good job, guys, mission
:42:13. > :42:18.accomplished. Now, as you have seen, human beings can really struggle in
:42:18. > :42:23.very cold environments, but even these modern times, explorers like
:42:23. > :42:27.Ann still use a completely natural material to keep themselves warm,
:42:27. > :42:32.down, and that is the feathers of birds. I'm going to show you how it
:42:32. > :42:37.works as the best insulation on the planet using this fancy piece of
:42:37. > :42:41.technology. This is a thermal imaging camera, and it will show
:42:41. > :42:46.you the hottest parts of a person or whatever else I pointed out. So
:42:46. > :42:52.if I point this at Naomi, you can see the parts of her which are kind
:42:52. > :42:57.of warmest, their armpits, yes, they are! They are bright white.
:42:57. > :43:01.Her face is white, which means it is very hot. The rest of the body
:43:01. > :43:08.is insulated by her nightgown coat, so it is much cooler, it is blue
:43:08. > :43:14.and purple. -- nice down a code. The one hand that has got no club
:43:14. > :43:18.is burning White Hart, and the other one is insulated. -- Got No
:43:18. > :43:24.Love on his burning white hot. I have got a parliament of miles, and
:43:24. > :43:28.I am going to show you how they use their feathers for insulation. This
:43:28. > :43:32.is a scops owl, and this beautiful creature KERS in very warm
:43:32. > :43:38.environment, in places like southern Africa. -- the KERS. Look
:43:38. > :43:42.at that, it looks like a gremlin, look at those burning yellow eyes!
:43:42. > :43:45.It is losing an enormous amount of heat, it really is not comfortable
:43:45. > :43:49.in this cold room. It is already fluffing up its feathers to try to
:43:49. > :43:54.get as much air underneath them as possible, because it will try to
:43:54. > :43:59.get cold quite soon. The next one is a barn owl, and it can get cold
:43:59. > :44:03.for them, but most of the time it is tempered in the UK. You can see
:44:03. > :44:08.the feet are really standing out, very bright, and it is losing our
:44:08. > :44:15.lot of heat straight down into that cold snow. Look at the bright eyes!
:44:15. > :44:21.But here I have a bird which is adapted to polar regions, and if it
:44:22. > :44:25.turns around... Look at that! It is almost entirely blue. Its huge
:44:25. > :44:30.feather coat is keeping it warm, it is keeping all of that body heat
:44:30. > :44:35.inside. It is almost completely blue, that is brilliant, it is so
:44:35. > :44:38.efficient that it can keep functioning in the most extreme
:44:38. > :44:43.temperatures found on the planet. That is absolutely brilliant. Now
:44:43. > :44:47.that it is flying a bit, you can see the heat underneath, and as it
:44:47. > :44:51.settles, back to live again, absolutely incredible. OK, so we
:44:51. > :45:01.have seen how these animals can survive frozen temperatures, but
:45:01. > :45:04.They have to take every opportunity which comes its way and it is down
:45:04. > :45:14.to their hearing. Things like lemmings make tiny noises but
:45:14. > :45:19.that's enough for it to zoom in and snatch a 2. But that is nothing
:45:19. > :45:25.compared to the true master of the north, the snowy owl. It goes
:45:25. > :45:33.further north than any other one and scans the tundra listening out
:45:33. > :45:38.for noises like this bowl which you will then grabbed hold of. Where
:45:38. > :45:44.oil table manners? Here is the snowy owl, the true Arctic champion.
:45:44. > :45:48.He is so beautiful, isn't he? It's the density of his feathers. They
:45:48. > :45:56.are packed around his head and that insulating the important organs,
:45:56. > :46:02.the brain and the muscles. The heart and lungs. Look at his feet.
:46:02. > :46:07.They are like big monster slippers. He is more comfortable on the snow
:46:07. > :46:14.than on the perch. His feet are covered in feathers which function
:46:14. > :46:19.like great big woolly boots. Look at his eyes. But they are bright
:46:19. > :46:25.bright yellow. They reckon it functions almost like a pair of
:46:25. > :46:30.sunglasses, getting rid of the glare of white snow. I think all
:46:30. > :46:36.these need to go on to the leaderboard, don't you think?
:46:36. > :46:43.leaderboard is down there. Shall I race you down? I think you should.
:46:43. > :46:53.The CU at the bottom. -- see you at the bottom. I didn't mean to do
:46:53. > :46:53.
:46:53. > :47:01.that. How do you stop?! OK, so we are but a whole lot more animals to
:47:01. > :47:08.go on the leaderboard. The Grey Owl. The snowy owl. That's not working
:47:08. > :47:15.either. Just hold them there. We have seen the Garter snake and the
:47:15. > :47:23.huskies. We can get rid of those. These are our three champions. We
:47:23. > :47:30.have one more spot. I want a nice big cheer for the one you want to
:47:30. > :47:38.see on the leaderboard. The Grey Owl? That's very half-hearted. The
:47:38. > :47:47.snowy owl? Getting there. What about Bran the raven?
:47:47. > :47:53.We had got an full 10 and we need your help to decide the ultimate
:47:53. > :48:03.deadliest. We need you to help us decide which one of these do you
:48:03. > :48:09.
:48:10. > :48:17.E-mail us. Just remind you who are the contenders are, take a look at
:48:17. > :48:27.this and tell us that which one you think is the deadliest. The Eagle.
:48:27. > :48:38.
:48:38. > :48:44.What's happening there? Where are you off to? The tiger, over you go.
:48:44. > :48:50.A terrifying a sand tiger shark. This has got to go on the
:48:50. > :48:54.leaderboard. Get e-mailing and tell us the Dudley's and we want to hear
:48:54. > :49:00.of your favourite moments from the series. We will put them into the
:49:00. > :49:04.programme as well. The fund keeps going. We've had a Deadly day out
:49:04. > :49:08.every Sunday in the last 10 weeks and they had been brilliant. Lots
:49:08. > :49:13.of you have tried out activities and met Deadly animals so let's
:49:14. > :49:19.public at last week's event. This week we set up camp at the Monkey
:49:19. > :49:29.Forest in Staffordshire. As well as these fine looking monkeys, there
:49:29. > :49:38.
:49:38. > :49:44.are plenty of others to have come This is one of the most remarkable
:49:44. > :49:52.get close and the whole world. It is fine eyesight but what's unusual
:49:52. > :49:57.about it? His eyes of spots in them. The they are cloudy. And no eyelids.
:49:57. > :50:02.Absolutely right, some of them have eyelids but this one doesn't so to
:50:02. > :50:08.clean their eyeballs, they extend their Tonner and just go... They
:50:08. > :50:12.lick their eyeballs clean which is disgusting but it works. This
:50:13. > :50:19.species is unusually flat. It looks like someone has sat on it but why
:50:19. > :50:26.does it have this weird profile? it can go down tunnels? Get into
:50:27. > :50:33.small places? So when it's on a branch, it looks like a part of a
:50:33. > :50:36.branch. The Yes, it's part of its camouflage. The fact they had this
:50:36. > :50:44.coloration means they merge in perfectly with their environment.
:50:44. > :50:49.Well done, good job. So this lizard lives on trees but it has webbed
:50:49. > :50:55.feet, skin on the side of its body and a very curiously shaped tail.
:50:55. > :51:03.What on earth is all that for? helps them to grip on to the tree
:51:03. > :51:10.bark. Scare predators away? Cannot swim with the webbed feet? Usually
:51:10. > :51:17.it's for swimming. This one doesn't swim at all. Cannot fly? Oh my
:51:17. > :51:22.goodness, I didn't think anybody would get that. It's a flying gecko.
:51:22. > :51:28.It will extend its body and flaps of skin around its feet and glide
:51:28. > :51:35.over vast distances and it would use his tail like a rudder almost
:51:35. > :51:45.swimming through the air. High- From the jungles of south-east Asia
:51:45. > :51:46.
:51:46. > :51:50.comes this flying at Deco. What is his superpower? Flying! -- gecko.
:51:50. > :51:55.They have been so much fun. Thank you so much a good, long. I can't
:51:55. > :51:59.believe tomorrow is the last one. Sadly all the tickets to be
:51:59. > :52:04.allocated but they're still ways for you to get Deadly. Get your
:52:04. > :52:09.teacher to go on to the website and his ideas about how to make your
:52:09. > :52:13.lessons more Deadly. It's time to catch up with Nicola to see what
:52:13. > :52:23.she has created. You have been guessing. Many people thought polar
:52:23. > :52:24.
:52:24. > :52:30.bears, Wolverine, but Bradley got it right. We can now reveal it is a
:52:31. > :52:39.penguin! That is so lifelike, Nicola. Are you pleased with it?
:52:39. > :52:43.Yes, I've just finished it in time. That's incredible. I think Sno!Zone
:52:43. > :52:53.will want to keep this as a memento. Thank you for showing us your
:52:53. > :52:56.skills. Don't try any of these chainsaw works at home, please.
:52:56. > :52:58.Talking of experts, think it's about time we tested our own
:52:58. > :53:04.walking wildlife encyclopoedia, Steve Backshall, on his knowledge
:53:04. > :53:08.of nature. It's time for Beat Backshall. He he's been upside down,
:53:08. > :53:18.submerge, trapped, spooked and suspended but we haven't managed to
:53:18. > :53:24.
:53:24. > :53:27.Euros is supposed to do it when I get it wrong! It's our last chance
:53:27. > :53:36.to challenge you mentally and physically. This is the worst thing
:53:36. > :53:43.we have ever done for you. You are going to go into an ice tub in your
:53:43. > :53:48.underwear. Are you ready? I hope these questions are easy. Come on,
:53:48. > :53:58.getting there. Sports people use these to repair their battered
:53:58. > :54:03.
:54:03. > :54:13.bodies. I feel your pain up. Ready? What our as the largest wingspan? -
:54:13. > :54:18.

:54:28. > :54:38.Sydney final weather. The Brazilian huntsman. Hurry up? Which bird has
:54:38. > :54:44.the biggest beak? The Pelican. Well done. What is the world's
:54:44. > :54:50.longest living caterpillar and how does it survive? A woolly bear what
:54:50. > :54:58.was on frozen planet. What do giraffes clean their ears with?
:54:58. > :55:03.Their tongue. You yes. Can I get out now? That was so uncomfortable.
:55:03. > :55:13.Give him a tell all. For he's a Jolly Good Fellow.
:55:13. > :55:16.
:55:16. > :55:23.Are you all right? Oh dear. Why do we do these things, Steve? You are
:55:23. > :55:29.amazing. There we go. We've had a few comments have come in
:55:29. > :55:39.throughout the show. After seeing mountain biking, I have gone up
:55:39. > :55:45.road biking for first time in ages. These are great. I have got a
:55:45. > :55:52.frostbitten bottom. Three special programmes coming up. Next week, a
:55:52. > :55:58.behind-the-scenes special, and then won all about our Deadly days out.

:56:04. > :56:09.like to see -- tell as the bitter would like to see again. Thank you

:56:55. > :57:04.work with animals live on television. Release the Lions!
:57:04. > :57:11.you tired? It wasn't supposed to be this difficult! Approach wildlife
:57:11. > :57:19.without even being seen. Step away from the television presenter. This
