Episode 10 Live 'n' Deadly

Hello! This very special edition of Live 'n' Deadly comes to you from

the frozen north, Castleford, but the show really begins at the

bottom of this low. This is one of very few indoor snow slopes in the

UK, and it's kind of like being in a massive freezer, so the

temperature is in here are well below freezing, and the snow

beneath my skis feels like real snow. I guess it is as close as you

can possibly get to being in the mountains, and that, I have to say,

is a place that is endlessly fascinating and one of my favourite

places on the whole planet. Now, that is the way to make an

entrance! No, this is the way to make an entrance! Where did she get

her as these?! This is Live 'n' Deadly. Our convoy is touring the

UK in search of all things wild, and you are coming with us every

Start on the sofa and a Saturday morning, and the rest of the

Hello! Hello! Welcome to a white wonderland, where it is always

It is minus five degrees, but we are not in the Arctic, we are in

the heart of Britain at the Castle third SNO!zone. Thank you very

much! Our map is really starting to fill up. Every one of these skills

marks a location we have been too. Warming up our spirits, it is the

And we have got a few people who put my skiing to shame, double

Paralympian Sean Rose and the new youth GPs being team! We are also

going to be meeting somebody who has conquered the toughest polar

challenges of all, breaking records battling her way to the North and

South Pole, it is Anne Daniels! this is the part of the show where

I usually say something about their poor social skills and personal

hygiene, but I don't really mean it, this show could not be done without

their tireless hard work, I am talking about the Live 'n' Deadly

crew! Yes, from riggers to run us, you are or complete stunners, and I

love you all! I love you all, I love you all, do you get that?

Shall we get on with the show? Steve Tess himself as the free

dives into the murky depths on just one breath, but how far can he push

himself. And I said some foul on missions, but this is the toughest,

spending a night beneath the snow. We will meet up with somehow also a

specially adapted to living in a winter wonderland and hunting with

deadly accuracy. -- some owls. check out these beasts to freeze.

And I thought you were an ice queen! How dare you?! Earth and in

keeping with the chilly theme, we have got all sorts of animals that

love these conditions, and we are starting with some of my absolute

favourite. We have got a team of Siberian huskies. Look at these

wonderful dogs. They have been bred over many generations to be

absolutely superb in this kind of environment. They have dense fir,

their walls are very special. They are very broad, they have a wedding

in between their toes. They actually function almost like

snowshoes, enabling them to keep above the snow. This one I have got

it is rather affectionate, the leader. This is the brainiest, the

most intelligent one, and the one who was going to lead. At this is

the noisiest on! As we start going further down the team, essentially

what to have back here is the engine room. These are the dogs

that are really strong, powerful and also quite affectionate as

well! I know, yes, I like you, too! So these ones are going to have...

Yes, they have a very broad chest here, which has got massive great...

He is lit in my year! Look, Willow is looking at the cameraman. Shall

we get on with it? Show us how they do it. Matt see them in action.

could have a team of as many as $20. We have only got four and quite a

slope, but I reckon they are going to be up for the challenge. Hello!

They are set in off at quite a pace, but this is absolutely nothing.

They are capable of running for past 10 hours per day, covering as

much as 100 miles in a day, and the thing I love most is that when they

are standing still, they are all kind of agitated, barking, but as

soon as they get moving and working, they are incredibly quiet, because

they are enjoying themselves. And they are just build for this kind

of challenge. I mean, I have run with them, you can run for an hour

and a half, and they are puffing and panting, and they will stop but

four seconds their heart rate is already back to normal. I

absolutely adore them, but there are plenty more animals that make

their life in the frozen extremes of the wild. Life in the frozen

north is be on the extreme, and very few animals can endure the

cold that gets down to maybe minus 40 or lower in the depths of winter,

but these animals have such thick fur that they can stay here in the

coldest of temperatures. Arctic hare, like these, are perfectly

camouflaged with white coats, as are their main Predator, the arctic

fox. But this animal is the real king, the polar bear. They have

such layers of blubber and thick fur that they can hunt on the eyes

right in the depths of winter for things like seals. They are the

king. Yes, the Arctic is home to some of the toughest wildlife on

the planet, like those polar bears, but it is also a magnet to some of

the heart is that venturers, and they do not come much tougher than

this lady. -- some of the toughest adventures. Anne Daniels is the

polar exploring Queen, she successfully reached both the north

and south poles and jointly hold the record for being the first

woman to do so. Temperatures below minus 50 degrees Celsius, 100 mph

winds and demanding terrain have not stop there. Surviving nuns

battling against the toughest conditions on the planet, she is a

polar explorer extraordinaire. Let's V8 4 Anne Daniels! -- let's

Here it for Anne Daniels! So nice of you to come on the programme. It

is positively toasty for you here. I like the cold. Tell us about some

of the biggest challenges you have done, because they are pretty

extraordinary. Our have been really lucky, I have gone to the Southport,

and all the way to the North Pole to become the first women's team to

do both polls. -- the South Pole. I have also been involved in

scientific expeditions, leading expeditions, and it has been a

great adventure. It is not just the environment you have to battle, you

have had some extraordinary wildlife and counters. I have been

surrounded by a pack of wolves, and I have had terrible encounters, but

exciting. I was stopped for three days by a male polar bear. That

must have been frightening. You are frightened that they may eat you,

they are ferocious animals, but I love that environment and the polar

bear, so I did not want to damage the polar bear or hurt it in any

way, so that was a big fear. But we didn't, we sold our differences

nicely! The ice has cracked under my tent on two different occasions

now, and then obviously you could go into the ocean and you have got

to really sort it out, really look after yourself when you're working

in those environments. What would you say non most challenging moment

was? I have been through the eyes when I was being, and that was

probably one of the challenging moments, getting back out of the

ocean when you are on thin ice, getting yourself dry. Have you got

any other challengers lined up? has, I now want to be the first

woman in the world to walk on her own to walk from land to the North

Pole, and you can follow me on Facebook and Twitter. When are you

going to do that? I would like to do it next year, but I am still

raising sponsorship, so 2012 is what I am looking at. Do you have

to take lots of equipment? Yes! Unfortunately, you have to pull

everything you want on a sledge, your food, your fuel, everything to

survive up to 70 days. My goodness, about 10 weeks. That is an

exhausting challenge, and talking of breathless missions, it is time

for Steve's big adventure! Anyone who has seen anything to do with

this programme over the last few years will know that I have a big

thing for stuff that lives under the water, and there are few better

ways to have a wildlife experience than going for a dive, but all of

the scuba tanks and things are heavy, cumbersome and expensive. If

only there was a way of getting down into the Fishers world using

nothing more than the breath in your own loans. Well, there are

some people who do just that. They are called a free divers, and today

I'm going to find out how they do it. Champion free divers have

managed to fine-tune their bodies and have immense control over their

breeding. World record holders have held their breath for over 10

minutes and died two deaths of 260 metres. -- dived to deaths. But

free diving is not something you can do straight away. There are

many potential dangers, so it is best to start with an expert, which

is why I am here with Sam Kirby, a free diving instructor. Sam is the

former captain of the UK free diving team, and today she is going

to teach me how to do it. We need a calm, sheltered bays so that I can

train safely, and the first job is to get to grips with the theory.

What is free diving about? It is about exploring underwater on a

single breath, without taking any equipment, and it might be like

trying to live like a seal all doing it for competitions. For me,

it is about both. Are my going to get started? Well, we are going to

teach you how to breathe. pretty sure I have been doing that

for quite a few years! You might find there is a better way of doing

it. How do we get started? What you have got to think about his views

as much of your lungs as possible. Sam is showing me how to relax and

reduce my heart rate. It is kind of like meditating and help the body

Without all the usual deer, getting ready is much easier. Well, sort

Well, that is the theory done, now it is time to get wet. The shock of

entering cold water makes it harder to relax. I have got if loads to

help me stay at the surface while I practise, face down. That is great.

Compared to the experts in the natural world, I am a complete

amateur. Fish can breathe underwater as they have bills. But

other mammals with lines like us are able to dive underwater for

incredible lengths of time. that is 30 seconds, he is OK.

hold their breath for nearly six minutes. 45 seconds. Grey seals for

about 20 minutes. That is one minute. And sperm whales can go

without breeding for over an hour, or making it look completely

effortless. -- breeding. So how did I do? OK, come up. Breathe in.

I held my breath for two minutes. I It is really quite difficult

psychologically, because your whole body is just crying out for you to

breathe. But I managed to get up to a reasonable time, and now it is

time to put it into effect. Now we know you can hold your breath,

Now I can put my essential practice to good use, exploring under the

water for the first time. We've chosen a safe spot with calm waters.

She will keep an eye on me so I don't get into trouble. We often

find we get close to marine life as we are not producing a lot of

bubbles which can scare animals away. I feel calm, free and at ease

with the sea. I also get to around 10 metres. But that's just for

starters. So, part two of my training complete and I can't wait

to get in again. It is incredibly liberating being able to twist and

turn down their amongst the fish, almost like a sea otter or resealed.

But, there is one more thing we have to try, and that's to see how

deeply can go, so one more dived to go, and we're going to head into

the Big Blue. For my next one, I will need deeper water. I have to

I will be in deep open water so I am attached to a rope to prevent me

from being taken by the current. It's also a depth guide to help me

get down to 20 metres. Remember, don't try this without an

instructor who has knowledge of the area where you are free diving. One

last breath of air and down my ego. I'm a tented -- attempting the

depth of a six-storey building. I am fighting the urge to breeze but

all my senses are screaming at me Well, it is a scary experience

going down into the darkness. But I think I've just had my first taste

of how it feels to be a fish. And I've got to say, free diving is

definitely Deadly. Had me breathless there just

watching him! So good. A big cheer for him there..

Now whilst you were watching that, Steve and Ann are all kitted up and

ready. Ann, you've successfully walked to both the North and South

Pole, and it has to be said, our princess here is always up for a

bit of a challenge. So we thought we'd set up a little polar race of

our own. At the top of the slope is our very own version of the North

Pole. But it's not a walking race. You'll be pleased to hear, you've

both got your very own team of dogs. Are you ready? First one to cross

the finish line it will be the winner. Good luck. 3, 2, 1, and off

they go. Look at them going. Ann makes it look so easy. Steve it

seriously needs to win this one it so that you can come to a draw and

it would give a chance of regaining a prize. He is taking it very

seriously. It's no joke. A bit of a drag, this challenge. And they are

There they come. Steve is in the lead. I don't believe it. Here he

Are you all right? By O my goodness. I'm sorry. Are you both all right?

Good, well done, Steve. We have one more challenge for you. I'm warning

you, you're going to be competing against an athlete. On Live 'N'

Deadly, it's not just the awesome animals were they to show you. We

also like to inspire your artistic side. We are welcoming back Nicola

Wood. Earlier we saw you making some sand sculptures but you also

like to work with ice. Yes. Is it easy to work with? More difficult

than Zander but lots of fun. What tools do you have to use?

chainsaw. So do not try this at home. Nicola, you have done this

for many years and has worked about six years doing this with a

chainsaw and is wearing all the right protection. So, Nicola, show

Wicked. It's quite therapeutic watching it. Once you have carved

out your main shape, with a chainsaw... You s, then you can

round off the edges. -- yes. Just hack into it. Oh, yes. It just goes

through like butter. You can work on something the size between half

the day, to a couple of days, and spend up to two weeks. You have

done some really big works. What have you done? I did a piece of

Notre damn with a gypsy girl and a goat. Fables, stories, fairy-tales.

They can take weeks to do. It must be a bit cold, doing it? It gets a

bit cold now one of them. Over here we have a sculpture Nicholas

started yesterday but we don't want to reveal it just yet. Under here

we have an amazing by sculptor in the making. But I do want you send

us in what you think it might be. Send us an e-mail to

[email protected] with your thoughts on what animal it might be

before the end of the show. Don't forget to tell us your name, and

you never know, I might read out your message. We'll come back and

see the finished results later on. Good luck. We are being very

mysterious today. And talking of mysteries, Steve got one of his own.

Yes, it is elementary my dear Naomi. This time, a trout in Norway. Yes,

we are set in Scandinavia and this is a frozen lake and you can see

there is a whole here and around the outside, lots of soft snow.

There's no footprints around here at all. There is snow around the

outside. No footprints, either. We have a stick with a string and at

the end of it, a half eaten junk of fish. A very odd scene indeed but

what it earth could it happen here? Let's see if the audience have an

idea. You have got the best hat. What do you think has happened?

as seals eat it? That's a really good idea. There are some seals but

living completely freshwater ecosystems, so good thinking. Mind

you, I reckon the whole is a little bit too small. Is today swordfish?

A good choice but they live in salt water environments. What could have

happened in fresh water? A polar bear? That's a cracking idea. I

reckon, though, polar bears don't eat fish unless it's a left over

carcass. I tell you what, I can tell you exactly who committed this

terrible crime. It's this gorgeous them. Look over here, with Lloyd. -

- Bran, the Raven. This was seen in Scandinavia, raiding the hordes of

fishermen. Bran knows what his task is. Underneath this should, we have

our crime scene is set up and hopefully Bran will come in and get

to work, so fishermen have been drilling holes in the ice and

leaving out the sticks with a line on the end of it with a fish at the

bottom of and the ravens have realised they have to pull the

string to get the fish. I think he is full up. Come on, codeine and,

get stuck in. He keeps on pulling and pushing and pulling until,

eventually, he is going to get his food, and this way, they are

cheating the fishermen out of their catch. Look at them, getting stuck

into their food, and this has genuinely happened in the wild.

Ravens have learned from each other how to do this incredible trick.

Did you know a group of crows is called a murder? This criminal

Crowe certainly lives up to his name. I didn't know that but I do

now. Case solved. We have come at two indoor ski-slope, we need to do

a bit of skiing. I had been a few times in the past and I'm not very

good, so I think we should learn a You guys are awesome. I only wish I

could ski that well. You make it look so cool. Here we have got

Fraser, Jessica and Jordan, who are all members of the Great Britain

youth ski team. You have all been skiing from when you are quite

young? Since I was five. Do you train in places like this? Yes, we

train around the country and then we'd go away to the Alps. Is that

much better? A Yes. What do you like about skiing? It's fun and you

want to do it every day. You don't worry about the danger? No.

going to try to get to the bottom. Do you think I can do it? Have you

got faith in me? Yes. OK, I will wobble and follow you to the bottom.

Good luck, to myself. Off you go, take it away. Right, I think I need

some music. Come on, then, let's go. I will try to copy you. And off we

go! Wobbly legs, here she comes. Mind out, Andy, I'm a coming right

for you and I'm not in control. Here we go. And Turner. Picking up

How do I stop? It's very safe to say I'm never going to be a

champion skier but we hope these guys will be. Their ambition is to

reach the highest level in the sport and fingers crossed they will

compete for Great Britain in the Olympics. Something our next guest

has already achieved against unbelievable odds. Sean Rose has

been the British number one in the Paralympics and has won 35

international medals, competed in the Winter Olympics twice and this

year won the first ever British World Cup gold, a truly

inspirational. And he is at the top That was incredible. You make it

look so easy. Plenty of practice. This is a monoski. It's a custom

one, and then start dinner. Suspension underneath. And then I

have got to these. They are a bit cruel. This is for skiing and this

is for pushing around. You can do what anybody else does. How long

have you been competing for? Eight years. I did a few years after my

accident, after a crash, and then it went on from there and I'm

living the dream 10 years later. You went to the Olympics.

Paralympics, World Cup gold medal, it doesn't get better. After your

accident, what was that made you want to continue skiing? I was the

same person and I was the same person and I loved sport and I

wanted to get out and do it. I grasped it with both hands and went

out there and I thought it would give me the same thrill as I had

before. Make a fast. This is not the only thing you do. I have water

skied in the past on a British team, three world titles,, set myself

some goals 10 years ago. Are you still competing now? I had just

retired from full-time racing. I did the X Games last winter and

have got a new challenge. I'm heading to Iceland in April and we

are going to cross the larger We have a prototype kite, we're

going across a glacier. I wish you a lot of luck with that, we hope it

goes really well. We are truly proud to have your the programme,

thank you for coming. Thank you. So it is not just the Live 'n' Deadly

programme that we are about, there's loads of stuff you can do

on our website. If you want to go online, this is the address.

has! We asked to last week to send in your pictures of you in wintery

situations. These are brilliant. William, aged seven, sent us this

picture of him using his sledge. He says he is taking bread and milk to

his grandparents, but I reckon he has been on a trip to the sweetshop.

This is from George, who is eight years old, with a snowman he made

with his dad. He looks a little bit bemused, the Snowman. If you're

watching a few weeks ago, you would have seen as a visit Plymouth

National Marine aquarium, I will get it right, and Steve introduced

us to an octopus with no name. We ask you to send in suggestions. We

had loads of them. Lewis thought it should be brainy Brian, Octavia,

Oscar. Nine people thought it should be called Steve. Because it

is slippery and rubbery, or because it is a genius? Because it is so

handsome! The folks at Plymouth National aquarium have decided to

let the octopus choose its own name, so they put the four top names into

jars and let the octopus decide. can now reveal that it is going to

What does that mean? It is like intelligent or brainy in Japanese.

You speak Japanese, don't you? What does that mean? It means it is good.

We want you to sender suggestions of what you think Nicola Wood is

carping today. E-mail as, what kind of polar animal do you think it is?

Polly thinks it is a dolphin. Are you right? We will find out later.

And don't forget to check out all of our games, there are a plethora,

we have got Deadly Dash, Deadly Scramble and of course our showcase,

Deadly Planet! This is your opportunity to take me through

reams and reams of fabulous habitats. That is the photographing

a swinging around a tan and being chased by all sorts of deadly

creatures while shouting out. week on the show we have been

revealing a secret code to give you a special power that will help you

complete the deadly missions, so I think we have got coming down the

The code will give you the deadliness of the honey badger,

which will make you run faster and jump higher. That frosty beast

gives me an idea, actually. We are featuring lots of Arctic animals

here, and there is another one around here somewhere. I wonder

where it could be... Oh, look, there it is! It is a many-sided

Garter snake, what was it doing under there? It seems like a pretty

unusual animal to find in an Arctic environment, because they are cold-

blooded, and animals have three things they can do in winter. Or if

they are a fairy mammal, they can endure the cold, or they can

hibernate. Actually, that is what this creature does. When it gets

The snake's northern home is not freezing cold all year round. When

it comes to winter, they have to take a dive beneath the snow. They

have special materials like anti- freeze in their blood which means

that as much as 40% of of body can freeze and they can still come back

to life in the spring, as does this animal, the wood from. And 65% of

their body fluids will freeze, and when it comes time, in the spring,

they can actually recharge their hearts and come back to life and

spring away in search of their first meal. But this is the

champion, it is one of the largest insects on earth, and it is found

in New Zealand. More than 80% of their body fluids can freeze, and

they will still come back kicking. A snake that freezes! It could be a

contender for our leaderboard of lethal, but it also gives me an

This week's mission is Live 'n' Deadly's hardest challenge yet,

taking on the most extreme environment in the UK, the

Cairngorm mountains. It takes courage, skill, strength and

stamina to cope out in his frozen wilderness, but some animals still

choose to call his home. So I am going to need some really tough

customers for this mission. Rewind! I said tut! Oh, never mind, let's

get on with the introductions. Name Is Lucy. All right, my name is

Callum. Eye, I am Ben. My name is Stuart. My name is Colin. We are

all Scouts from Northumbria! And of course they are joined by my trusty

crew. Picking on me! And the experts, Manton leaders Clive and

Annette, who have the mission. -- News Scouts think you are pretty

good at roughing it in the great outdoors, but I have got a

challenge that will test your skills of surviving the elements to

the extreme. The Cairngorms national park is as close as you

can come in the UK to actually being in the Arctic. Your job is to

get out into the wilderness and experience the life of the mountain

creatures that manages to survive whatever the conditions, but the

biggest part of the challenge is that when darkness falls and starts

to get really cold, you are not going to have a nice warm bed.

Instead, you are going to have to dig yourself a snow hole in the

mountains, and make sure it is a good one, because you are going to

have his then the night in it. Cannot forget your woolly hat and

get mountaineering. And please look after my crew! How we are for that?

Yes! Sounds good to me, let's go. Did you save, they will need

helmets, ice axes, crab bonds and one other bit of specialist

equipment. -- to keep safe. In this environment, it is crucial that you

leave nothing behind. Right, guys, It is a two-mile walk to where they

will spend the night, which doesn't sound like much, but in these

conditions and with all that kit, it is pretty tough going. So how

are they finding it? It is quite cold out here, but I am quite warm

because I am laid up. If I have enough energy left, I look forward

to building the snow hole. I am enjoying it, I think everyone

else's. Some are enjoying it a little bit too much. One of the

dangers of this environment is that it can look lovely and calm one

minute but then turn bad in seconds. As the wind picks up, everyone

starts to struggle, as does the filming equipment. The cold weather

and the walk up he has completely destroyed all the sound equipment.

The wind chill here has taken all the power away. The batteries

seemed to be OK on mine, but it is the snow going into the lens which

is a little bit of a problem. But I have got a cloth, but when this

gets too damp, we will have a problem. They have finally made it

to a safe spot to make camp. To dig a snow hole, basically what we want

to do is be as efficient and quick as possible, so measure at a trench.

It wants to be about the width of your body and head height. Dig

right back into the snow as far as you possibly can. You can then

start digging sideways. You need to create an arch shape, and the

reason we want to create an art is because it is a very strong shape,

so the weight of the snow will not collapse it. The other thing about

it, if you make it nice and smooth, when you are in their late at night,

the water runs down to either side. The team needs to dig. The just

keep getting gusts of wind blowing in your face, full of snow, and it

is not pleasant. My body is nice and warm, but my face is freezing.

My little bits of glass in my face. I am fighting a losing battle.

thinking about my nice warm bed and a cup of tea! The wind is building

up, and the quicker we can get everyone under cover and

Get inside, yeah. Everyone is finding it pretty tough going, so

let's have a look at how the real experts survive and here. Ptarmigan

and mountain hares are the inspiration behind this challenge.

They live in these conditions for months, and with warm coats that

turn white in winter, they do not need any extra bits of kit. In

extreme weather, both of these animals take shelter in snow holes.

With darkness falling, our Scouts are finally managed to get their

snow or made. It is rather warm, warmer than outside. Starting to

warm up, we are getting our food on, we have got a hot drink, getting

comfortable for the night. I have never done anything like this

And it is snowing again! Everybody shout good night! Good night!

everyone is settled in, and it is a good job, too. Overnight, the wind

will get to 70 mph and the temperature will drop to minus 15.

Morning! Well, we made it through the night, half of our cameras are

down. We have only got this little camera left, actually. The wind has

blown snow right across the entrance to the camp, so it is a

good job the Scouts used a mantle surviving technique, marking the

entrance with ice axes. We will pass then the camera. Good morning,

guys. Morning. How was your sleeve? Very good. Cold and wet. As you can

see, the roof has caved in on some sections, like this. This was a

door. But now it is no! With the cameras starting to come back to

life, albeit not quite in full working order, it was time to do

the Scouts out, and I have to say they are impressively cheery after

all of that. How is it going, Callum? Fine! Nice sleep? Yeah,

actually, better than in most tense. If I slept OK, it was a bit

uncomfortable at the time, but you are in a snow hole. All in all, it

was a character-building experience. Good job, guys, mission

accomplished. Now, as you have seen, human beings can really struggle in

very cold environments, but even these modern times, explorers like

Ann still use a completely natural material to keep themselves warm,

down, and that is the feathers of birds. I'm going to show you how it

works as the best insulation on the planet using this fancy piece of

technology. This is a thermal imaging camera, and it will show

you the hottest parts of a person or whatever else I pointed out. So

if I point this at Naomi, you can see the parts of her which are kind

of warmest, their armpits, yes, they are! They are bright white.

Her face is white, which means it is very hot. The rest of the body

is insulated by her nightgown coat, so it is much cooler, it is blue

and purple. -- nice down a code. The one hand that has got no club

is burning White Hart, and the other one is insulated. -- Got No

Love on his burning white hot. I have got a parliament of miles, and

I am going to show you how they use their feathers for insulation. This

is a scops owl, and this beautiful creature KERS in very warm

environment, in places like southern Africa. -- the KERS. Look

at that, it looks like a gremlin, look at those burning yellow eyes!

It is losing an enormous amount of heat, it really is not comfortable

in this cold room. It is already fluffing up its feathers to try to

get as much air underneath them as possible, because it will try to

get cold quite soon. The next one is a barn owl, and it can get cold

for them, but most of the time it is tempered in the UK. You can see

the feet are really standing out, very bright, and it is losing our

lot of heat straight down into that cold snow. Look at the bright eyes!

But here I have a bird which is adapted to polar regions, and if it

turns around... Look at that! It is almost entirely blue. Its huge

feather coat is keeping it warm, it is keeping all of that body heat

inside. It is almost completely blue, that is brilliant, it is so

efficient that it can keep functioning in the most extreme

temperatures found on the planet. That is absolutely brilliant. Now

that it is flying a bit, you can see the heat underneath, and as it

settles, back to live again, absolutely incredible. OK, so we

have seen how these animals can survive frozen temperatures, but

They have to take every opportunity which comes its way and it is down

to their hearing. Things like lemmings make tiny noises but

that's enough for it to zoom in and snatch a 2. But that is nothing

compared to the true master of the north, the snowy owl. It goes

further north than any other one and scans the tundra listening out

for noises like this bowl which you will then grabbed hold of. Where

oil table manners? Here is the snowy owl, the true Arctic champion.

He is so beautiful, isn't he? It's the density of his feathers. They

are packed around his head and that insulating the important organs,

the brain and the muscles. The heart and lungs. Look at his feet.

They are like big monster slippers. He is more comfortable on the snow

than on the perch. His feet are covered in feathers which function

like great big woolly boots. Look at his eyes. But they are bright

bright yellow. They reckon it functions almost like a pair of

sunglasses, getting rid of the glare of white snow. I think all

these need to go on to the leaderboard, don't you think?

leaderboard is down there. Shall I race you down? I think you should.

The CU at the bottom. -- see you at the bottom. I didn't mean to do

that. How do you stop?! OK, so we are but a whole lot more animals to

go on the leaderboard. The Grey Owl. The snowy owl. That's not working

either. Just hold them there. We have seen the Garter snake and the

huskies. We can get rid of those. These are our three champions. We

have one more spot. I want a nice big cheer for the one you want to

see on the leaderboard. The Grey Owl? That's very half-hearted. The

snowy owl? Getting there. What about Bran the raven?

We had got an full 10 and we need your help to decide the ultimate

deadliest. We need you to help us decide which one of these do you

E-mail us. Just remind you who are the contenders are, take a look at

this and tell us that which one you think is the deadliest. The Eagle.

What's happening there? Where are you off to? The tiger, over you go.

A terrifying a sand tiger shark. This has got to go on the

leaderboard. Get e-mailing and tell us the Dudley's and we want to hear

of your favourite moments from the series. We will put them into the

programme as well. The fund keeps going. We've had a Deadly day out

every Sunday in the last 10 weeks and they had been brilliant. Lots

of you have tried out activities and met Deadly animals so let's

public at last week's event. This week we set up camp at the Monkey

Forest in Staffordshire. As well as these fine looking monkeys, there

are plenty of others to have come This is one of the most remarkable

get close and the whole world. It is fine eyesight but what's unusual

about it? His eyes of spots in them. The they are cloudy. And no eyelids.

Absolutely right, some of them have eyelids but this one doesn't so to

clean their eyeballs, they extend their Tonner and just go... They

lick their eyeballs clean which is disgusting but it works. This

species is unusually flat. It looks like someone has sat on it but why

does it have this weird profile? it can go down tunnels? Get into

small places? So when it's on a branch, it looks like a part of a

branch. The Yes, it's part of its camouflage. The fact they had this

coloration means they merge in perfectly with their environment.

Well done, good job. So this lizard lives on trees but it has webbed

feet, skin on the side of its body and a very curiously shaped tail.

What on earth is all that for? helps them to grip on to the tree

bark. Scare predators away? Cannot swim with the webbed feet? Usually

it's for swimming. This one doesn't swim at all. Cannot fly? Oh my

goodness, I didn't think anybody would get that. It's a flying gecko.

It will extend its body and flaps of skin around its feet and glide

over vast distances and it would use his tail like a rudder almost

swimming through the air. High- From the jungles of south-east Asia

comes this flying at Deco. What is his superpower? Flying! -- gecko.

They have been so much fun. Thank you so much a good, long. I can't

believe tomorrow is the last one. Sadly all the tickets to be

allocated but they're still ways for you to get Deadly. Get your

teacher to go on to the website and his ideas about how to make your

lessons more Deadly. It's time to catch up with Nicola to see what

she has created. You have been guessing. Many people thought polar

bears, Wolverine, but Bradley got it right. We can now reveal it is a

penguin! That is so lifelike, Nicola. Are you pleased with it?

Yes, I've just finished it in time. That's incredible. I think Sno!Zone

will want to keep this as a memento. Thank you for showing us your

skills. Don't try any of these chainsaw works at home, please.

Talking of experts, think it's about time we tested our own

walking wildlife encyclopoedia, Steve Backshall, on his knowledge

of nature. It's time for Beat Backshall. He he's been upside down,

submerge, trapped, spooked and suspended but we haven't managed to

Euros is supposed to do it when I get it wrong! It's our last chance

to challenge you mentally and physically. This is the worst thing

we have ever done for you. You are going to go into an ice tub in your

underwear. Are you ready? I hope these questions are easy. Come on,

getting there. Sports people use these to repair their battered

bodies. I feel your pain up. Ready? What our as the largest wingspan? -

- our? Owl. What is the most venomous spiders in the world?

Sydney final weather. The Brazilian huntsman. Hurry up? Which bird has

the biggest beak? The Pelican. Well done. What is the world's

longest living caterpillar and how does it survive? A woolly bear what

was on frozen planet. What do giraffes clean their ears with?

Their tongue. You yes. Can I get out now? That was so uncomfortable.

Give him a tell all. For he's a Jolly Good Fellow.

Are you all right? Oh dear. Why do we do these things, Steve? You are

amazing. There we go. We've had a few comments have come in

throughout the show. After seeing mountain biking, I have gone up

road biking for first time in ages. These are great. I have got a

frostbitten bottom. Three special programmes coming up. Next week, a

behind-the-scenes special, and then won all about our Deadly days out.

And then add best of it Live 'N' Deadly. Pell as the bits you would

like to see -- tell as the bitter would like to see again. Thank you

to everybody. The Deadly planet code, we should remind you about

that. Bat, Centipede, skull. crew have been at Legends. A thank

you to our special guests, today. Yes, absolutely. This has been an

absolute mission, touring the country. It's been a pleasure.

will see you next Saturday at 9am. What could possibly go wrong? Don't

work with animals live on television. Release the Lions!
