Episode 7 Live 'n' Deadly

I have learned to hate caves more than any other. There is no where

you can get so wet, so cold. It can be truly miserable. But for an

explorer, it is so exciting. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of

miles of cave passage that have simply never been explored. You're

light from your home at is the fastest ever penetrated into the

darkness. Into one of the most T? Is there some for me? Surrey.

Never mind! She is all a dry! This is live and deadly. Our convoy is

struggling UK in search of all things live. You're coming with us

every step of the way. Start on a Good morning everybody! Welcome!

This is the show that aims to get you outdoors, get you into nature.

Where are we today? This strange building is the Belfast Activity

Centre in Northern Ireland. I have decided to dredge the bowels of the

Earth this week. Showing off their skills, please give it up for the

audience! Plus, we're joined by world trial bike champion Joe

Oakley. The bit I am least looking forward to it today, is the scary

underwater cave dive. You get wet, cold and miserable. He has what is

coming up. Steve SATs at deadly mission to go

in search of red kites. And Naomi goes in search of a brilliant

bouncing bird. We check out the stinky skunk. In keeping with the

subterranean theme, some truly grim Cave critters. Cockroaches, scary

underwater cave divers... This is payback for all of the challenges I

have said Steve over the years. It is time for a big adventure. Come

in with me, everybody. If you're watching last week, you would have

seen a venture into a real cave. -- you would have seen me. This is

somewhat of a luxury. Check out this chamber. This is obviously

man-made. It is pretty realistic. Caves around the world and it could

be carved out by the effects of rainwater. The results are pretty

spectacular. Caves at the final frontier on Planet Earth. They can

be incredibly beautiful. Some were deep enough to engulf the Empire

State Building. Some are formed by the action of sulphuric acid. Who

knows what amazing caves will be discovered next?

Quite often the most exciting part of that Kate expedition is getting

in. It involves ropes like this. It is wet and horrible! That is really

impressive. It is all soggy! The good thing about the man-made caves

is you can just switch the water off. Can we turn it off, please? I

wish you could do that in a real cave! This opening section of the

cave system is really important for naturalists. This is where you were

most likely to find life. The things that live in caves can be

Cave systems provide a home for different species. The backs that

live there create enormous piles of who. Loads of other invertebrate

feed off it. Some caves have weirder animals, like these

salamanders. They have no functioning eyes. They do not need

to. They will never see light. They are fully functioning predators

scatters in for whatever food they can find. -- scavengers. Things

like that and birds made roosting caves. They are not true cave

dwellers. Animals that spend their lives in caves have to be specially

adapted. Animals like this. This is a classic Cave critter. They are

not true spider's. This is a whip spider. They have poor eyesight.

They have extraordinary front legs. They tap around in the darkness.

They will sense potential prey in the dark. They get snapped --

snapped opera. It is coming on to your hand now. I do not like

spiders. This is sensing its prey. It is almost like an insect's

antennae. Those bits are used to catch the prey. It is a bit of its

mouth. It will feed prey back towards the mouth parts. Toasty --

they are remarkably strong animals. How about you hang on to that? No!

This when you have no reason to be worried about. They are not

venomous. That is not true of our next Craig -- cave critter.

In a cave system in Venezuela lives one of the most remarkable

invertebrates on the earth. It is moving over the floor of the cave,

over the cockroaches it may normally feed on, and heading to

the ceiling. This will be the perfect vantage point macro for

catching a truly remarkable prey. This centipede is catching bats on

the wane. It hangs down, waits for the bats, pounds it full of venom,

and that bat is a goner. That is incredible. An invertebrate

that munchers bat. Of all the animals on the show, this could

cause me the most harm. He is very cool. He has his collars on. This

is a scolopendra. It has got tiger stripes. This could do some damage.

It has quite a serious neurotoxin. This is the head end. It has got a

modified pair of legs. Sharp points. They are joined to a venom gland.

Mostly they feed on cockroaches and cricket. He moves a really fast.

This is nothing. These animals travel at a tremendous speed,

particularly in the darkness. They will move at incredible speed. They

do not need to be able to see in order to hunt. We have one more

critter to introduce you to! I would love to hang about, but

things to do! Scolopendra going back into the box. I have to

introduce you to this fabulous snake. Look at this. This is a

Taiwanese beauty. They are a kind of rat snake. They are specialist

at hanging out in caves and catching animals that live there.

They are not the only Kate snake that have learned to do this.

Many different species of us makes have learned to make the most of

the potential bounty of this lot, bats. They can snatch out at a bat.

They have Super sensors which enable them to CVs animals. It is a

perfect way of making the most of a constant conveyor belt of food.

Unfortunately, he has got caught around my cables. I would have to

pass back to you. I am offering you not just one, but three Cave

specialists for the leaderboard. I hope he can untangle himself.

They are definitely going up on the left-hand side of the board, all

vying for that number seven spot. We will come back later to find out

which one is the winner. Have you got a favoured out of these three?

The whip spider. The whip spider. The whip spider. Have you been

caving here before? Yes. It is great. It is definitely a once-in-

a-lifetime opportunity. You do not get scared? No. The next deadly

animal I am going to introduce you to is about to knock all of those

once clean out of the competition. This is one of the UK's busiest and

fluffiest capers, the mole. -- cavers. The mole is a strange beast.

It is like a little velvet beanbag with its short powerful limbs and

huge Paws. And it is the manic Miner or of the natural world. It

lives a strange light in the dark. Enjoying its underground resistance,

it can create a network of tunnels up to 200 metres long, twice the

length of a football pitch. At many tunnels need constant maintenance.

It is a life of endless toil for the mole. Their favourite food is

earthworm. They are pretty much blind. To catch them, it uses its

remarkable nose. By detecting minute vibrations, he mole can

sense a wriggling Warham as it wriggles through the subterranean

space. -- worm. But they do not eat them all at once. They store a few

for a rainy day. Or perhaps for when the mole is worn-out and once

a day off from all that digging. -- once a day off. I am really sorry.

We begin the show with a little bad news. Due to the extreme weather

forecast this weekend, our deadly weekend day it has had to be

cancelled. We're so sorry. We wish there was something we could do. If

you have a ticket, you should have received an e-mail. You will

receive a little something in the post by way of course saying sorry.

Last week we were at the zoo. You sense some pictures in. This from

Helen Nall and George. This is then whip and a run at -- an orang-utan.

Then came face to face with a snow leopard. This week in my never-

ending mission to find the Cubist animals, we are after pictures of

your pet. If you have got a photograph, attach it to an e-mail

If you have a question for Beat Backshall do you think you can out

wit Steve? If you do, you need to head to our website at

[email protected]. Click on Live 'n' Deadly and click on "have

your say". Have we something seriously cool to show you now

though. You will be gasping and biting your knuckles by the end of.

This when our next guest, Joe Oakley, asked if he could demo his

bike skills, person in the hole, he No! That was extraordinary! Wow!

one last move. Oh, Joe. Give it up for, Joe. Spectacular. Welcome to

Live 'n' Deadly. Unbelievable. Where was the saddle on your bike?

You don't need when when you are doing this kind of thing. Anything

else you want to tell us about your bike. Only one gear. Never need to

change gear. It needs to be as easy as possible. Sharp brakes, you need

to stop quick and as light as you can make it. Our audience will have

seen you on Britain's Got Talent. You were awesome. Tell us about it?

I saw a guy in America as's Got Talent doing a similar thing. I

gave it a go and made it to the semi-final. It looks like it could

be dangerous. It can be. I bet you have injured your self-? I broke

both my wrists. What is the best way to get into it, how did you

start? I used to ride on my street. You can ride anywhere. Always wear

a helmet you are guaranteed it it to fall. You have moved up to

bigger drop-offs. You have gone down the side of a waterfall.

Fantastic. Look at these photos. This is called mountain bike trials

riding. Tell us how it works? organisers of the competition will

make a route and all the competitors have to get through the

course without putting their feet down. The person who puts their

feet down the least during the day is declared the winner. This has

taken you all over the world Canada, New Zealand and all throughout

Europe. Great to be to ride in exotic locations and to be taking

something that you absolutely love around the world. Fantastic. Do you

know what, I have a challenge for you two. There's a surprise. Follow

me. Princess likes to get on his bike sometimes. Don't call me

Princess. What I thought I would give you today is a challenge on a

bike that doesn't work in, how shall I put it, the, "tradishal"

way. We have Live 'n' Deadly bikes which are called, "swing bikes".

You will find out why in a minute. Your mission, in this task, to get

on a bike and cycle around our obstacle course. You have to go

through the blocks, down and back again. The one back to these posts

will be declared the winner. Are you up for it? I think so. If I can

get my bike to work. Well done, give it a kick. Are you ready?

3-2-1, GO! And off they go. Out of control already. The bikes have a

mind of their own. I'd love to give them technical advice but it's more

funny without. Let them figure it out. Look at the concentration on

their faces. I wonder if Joe can do a stunt on this bike?! You are

going in the wrong direction. Joe is in the lead. Steve has won three

three challenges. He is determined to win it back. It doesn't look he

is going to do it today. Joe is our champion. Oh, Steve, did you enjoy

yourself? I was taking the scenic route. You don't have to be a world

champion mountain biker to explore. Our next punch of explorers soon

discovered when they were set their Deadly mission. This course is a

Mecca for mountain bikers. I have choosen it not just because of it

tough terrain because the skies above are home to awesome birpdz of

prey, the red kite. The birds are true masters of the air, capable of

snatching food from the ground, Wyles still on the wing. The team

this week are going to have to and- a-half date this demanding course.

That's not all. I also want them to keep one eye on the sky and spot

some of the resident red kites. This hand-pick team love mountain

biking. Are they up to the challenge? I'm ten years old.

name is Daniel, I'm 12 years old. My name is Steph and I'm 11 years

old. We love mountain biking! to meet up with, Bob, their

mountain bike instructor for the day. How are you doing? Do you want

to see what Steve's challenge is? Yes. You think you can ride. How

about taking on a wilder track? Your challenge is to navigate the

twists and turns while keeping an eye on the skies above. I'm hoping

you will get a look at another rider with a wing span of two

metres and a sharp beak used at tearing at meat. We are talking

about the red kite. Are you up for that? YEAH! What we will do, before

we head out on the trails, check the bike and make sure everything

is all right. Check the front wheel first. Have a look at both sides of

tyre and make sure there is no holes. Hold of your handle bars,

squeeze your front brake. Roll your bike backwards. We will learn some

skills before we tackle the terrain. We will look at riding positions

how to brake and go around corners and react to things on the trail.

Steve's challenge is quite hard. could be hard cycling and looking

in the air at the same time. I hope I learn more tricks by the end of

the day. Where do you want to get your weight going down hill? Back.

Over the back of the bike. As soon as I drop my meal heel my weight

will come over the back, if we are riding down hill that is a safe

position. Brilliant, really good. We will get out on the trail s now

We will find out what happens later on in the show. Now, when Steve was

in here earlier he introduced us to a world of deadly cave inhabitants.

This is Larry. He is here with Donna. Tell me the story about

Larry. Larry is the largest bat in Northern Ireland. How has he come

to be in your company? I'm looking after him because he was brought to

us as an injured bat. He was a cat injury. He has been getting fed so

he can put on weight and had antibiotics and he will be released

into the wild. He is so sweet. cute. We have food here to give him,

meal worms. Shall I give him one of these. Oh, yes. It's wiggling. What

do you think of that? Straight in there. Hungry boy. Is this what

they would eat in the wild? No. He would eat 3,000 flying insects. I

couldn't catch those. Those are high in protein they are a good

supplement. D they eat that much all year round? They will hibernate

during the winter. We want to get him fit enough. What is the plan?

The first dry night he will go back into the wild with his friends.

Spinning fingers crossed fr a dry night soon. He is so cute! You know

this programme better than that. As if I will let you get awhich with

that. Don't you come through the door like a normal person? No. My

house doesn't have a door I come down the chimney. Bats are mighty

moth munching masters. Bats are the only true truly flying mammals.

They have censory mechanisms. They hunt over water using echo location

to find their flying prey. They pounce clicks off the world around

them. This one used that to zero in on this moth. It swings the feet

forward and snatches the moth off the wing. It take it is back to a

perch to munch down on the moth's head. They need to feed almost

constantly. They will take the unusual step of sweeping down to

the water to snatch a dying moth off the surface. I mean, apart from

the fruit bats, there is no doubting that bats are absolutely

supreme hunters. Fair enough. munch 3,000 to 3,500 insects in a

single night. A lot. Taking all those insects in one end, they have

to come out somewhere. They come out the back end. Oh! Sorry if you

are eating your breakfast. imagine several million of bats

living in a cave for a couple of hundred of years what they have

been dropping creates mountains of what is known as guano. It looks

like road or tarmac. It it's not. This is solid poo. I have been in

this particular cave this was filmed in. It's horrific.

Everything that drops down from the top is a feast for a whole host of

invertebrates. The bats that die will get consumed by koch coaches

and crickets. It's being recycles. Guano is one of the finest

fertilisers known for man. What are here Critters who love poo. These

are cockroaches. Get stuck in here. Get your hands full. These are

hising koch coaches they will squeeze their bodies and get ier

air out of them to scare away predators. With autumn in full flow

there is a lot of waste about. Don't worry, you don't need to

clean it up. There is a whole army of critters working hard on your

behalf in your back garden as I discovered when I met Scot from

Buglife at a Deadly Day Out. We have rotting leaves. Masses of

things in here. This guy is one of the coolest bugs you will get in

the garden. He is called the devil's coach horse. We get phone

calls saying, "I have a scorpion in my garden". It's this guy here. One

of the defence things he does, he curves his tail up above his head.

When he is threatened. He tells everybody to back off and leave him

alone. Totally. What we found today was this female wolf spider. If you

look on her back, can you see fuzzy things on her back? Yes. She is

carrying her babies. They have climbed on to her back. She is

protecting them and keeping them safe. That is wicked! What are

those bits at the front? The cool thing about those are, you can tell

the difference between a male and female spider by those. Females

have almost like little extra legs, but males have got little boxing

gloves, which is pretty cool. Bocking gloves it's a boy. Little

fingers, it's a girl. I will look out for thark are you? It's well

worth leaving a section of your garden to go rotten and messy like

this. You have look around and see what you can find inside. You will

find some brilliant bugs guaranteed. So, particularly this time of year

as bugs repitiles and mammals are needing places to spend the winter

be careful about what you do with your garden the winter leaves could

be someone's home or somewhere they want to hibernate. If you want more

information we have loads on the We have had a comment from Lydia.

She is scared of spiders. But she held one in her hand. That is

brilliant. We are very proud of you. I have got a wonderful predatory

cave critter here. This is a Chinese gecko. They specialise at

hunting inside caves. I can see almost straight through his head,

looking through the years. It is bizarre. His Taylor looks a bit

like that turn up. -- his tail. Now, back to our a deadly mission. We

left it with the adventurous having done their training. Now it is time

for them to wander in the woods. So far the challenge is going well.

For the second part of the nation, time to find those red kites. -- of

the mission. Come on, keep up! is the best challenge ever, Steve!

Have you seen any kites yet? Their year go. -- there you go. You could

say that his mission accomplished. I know for this team, that will not

be good enough. I reckon we could Bob is taking them to meet Sarah,

who works for the Forestry Commission. They have been working

hard to save these beautiful birds from extinction. How many are here?

A on a good day, 150. 150! When they are hungry, they will come

into feet. They said up and red kite restaurant. We feed them

butcher's of cuts. At one point Kuyt numbers were really very low.

It was thought it was down to one breeding pair in mid-Wales.

Something needed to be done. They had been extinct from England and

Scotland and Ireland. The last remaining kites were here in Wales.

Lot of feeding stations said up so we could give the kites an extra

hand. We make sure they are OK and keep track of them. They can feed.

When you are feeding them, it is quite amazing really. 150 coming in

for some neat and you're in the middle of it... They are quite big

birds. If you put one on its side, they would be taller than me.

old are the oldest kite? They generally live for about 25 years.

This is really amazing. To think not long ago there were hardly

Annie and there are so many now. is incredible. It has been a day of

a lifetime. Mission accomplished! Admission was so brilliant. -- that

mission. We appreciate you cannot get out with the dark nights coming

in. You may like to go on the Web site and play some games. Like

If you like that, you may like deadly planet, our other again. You

have to navigate steep around some wonderful environment. You have to

take some great photographs. The secret code we are giving you today.

It is called a him Olga -- aim of chameleon. I continually make out

the cold. The cameraman can zoom in and focus... Well done. What is bad

smell? Steve! What are you talking about? Was that you, Pat? I bet it

was! It was the power more of pong, the stallion of stench, the skunk!

Isn't he delightful? Look at that. He has got the most delightful

gorges friendly little face. He looks like he wants a cuddle. When

you think about skunks, you think about their ability to create the

most noxious substance on earth. It is truly extraordinary. Their smell

is no laughing matter. In the various environments around the

world worse go sour friend, other animals stay well away. It is the

stickiest substance on earth. This young Lyon is about to learn the

value of them less and. It seems like an interesting toy. No, it is

not! Runaway! You're about to get squirted! It is absolutely awful.

It is a smell that makes you want to puke. Yes, have been in a dog

that has been sprayed by skunk. The smell was so overpowering,

everything the dog touched had to be thrown away and the dog had to

be shaved. Extraordinary. This one is friendly. Let's put him down and

see him at work. Come on, little fellow. In these leaves, there are

some little meal worms he can snuffle. Have you found something?

No. He is wonderful. He is laying down reserves for his period of

winter hibernation. He is off! He is wonderful. You cannot go that

way! He is so delightful. In the wild, they tend to be active around

about dusk. If there is a possibility of food, he will keep

on trucking. He is fantastic. I promise you will not swear at you.

He has got a delightful character. Hyperactive. And an explosive

bottom. Does he remind you of anyone, Naomi! What are you

implying? Definitely going on the board. We will find out the win or

later. Tens of thousands of you have been getting it to the spirit

of enjoying your very own deadly day out. This week we are at

This odd looking animal is a toad. It lives in a dark waters around

the Amazon basin. How does it find and cats its food? Has it got along

Tonge? Most frogs do. This one has no Tonge at all. It is very unusual.

Does it sends vibrations? That is about as perfect a description as

you can have. The back feet hour would. The front feet have tiny

stars like structures and it taps around in the darkness using those

until it finds its food. Spot on. Well done. Generally speaking, they

are quite lazy animals. The males and females get energised when they

come together. How do they impress each other? James Connor. Jump.

Jump on the back leg. The males will stand up behind the females,

grab their back legs and they do somersaults together in the water.

It may seem hard to believe, but Surinam tolls are extraordinary

mothers. How do the look after their young? Does it keep them in

its mouth? There are frogs that do that. They are called gastric

brooding frogs. This is not one of them. She does not just carry them

around on her back. This sink into their skin. The eggs will get

beneath the surface of the skin and they will grow and emerge out of

her back. It is one of the most incredible thing she will ever seen

from one of the weirdest looking animals. I know it looks kind of

like it has been run over, but it is actually at toe-tapping

amphibian and mother keeps her As Naomi said earlier, we are

really sorry. I know everybody is disappointed. But the day out at

Castlewellan has had to be cancelled. There are high winds

projected. We cannot guarantee a good day out for everybody. It past

have to be cancelled. The tour goes on. Look at the website and see if

you could find a date close to you. You have to get an adult to apply

for a ticket. They are completely free. We will contact you if you

have got a ticket. Or you can call the ticket hotline. The people in

It is best if we just shut the door! Coles cost no more than the

local rate, even from the mobile. We have to decide who will win

today's ultimate Top Ten deadliest. Is it me choice back at a getting

worse? I think they are getting worse! We have five contenders here.

The mole, incredibly cute and cuddly. Definitely not going on

there. The snake, I think we will get rid of that. We have three main

contenders. Scolopendra, whip spider and skunk. Should it be the

skunk? How about the whip spider? Yes! And the scolopendra? No that

has got to be, surely? I would have thought so. I am going to cut for

the -- cut to the chase and go to the scolopendra! With your help we

will decide who gets the prize, a number one deadliest. Steve has

taken himself over there because he knows what is coming next. It is

time for beat back show. Steve is going to make -- make his way up

this wobbly poll. Thank you if you have sent in some questions. We do

not have time to ask all of them. You have sent in some good ones.

am at the top. We are going to ask you to do a handstand. I do not

know how he is going to do it. How long is a gannet's wingspan? It is

the largest wingspan of a any seabird in the UK, getting on for

two metres. Adams says, of which big cat cannot retract its claws?

The cheetah. How big do crocodiles Croke? The biggest debate was found

in India and it is said to be 6.4 metres. There are reports of

crocodiles reaching as much as nine. Personally I think sex is about

right. Georgia says, why do camels have Homs? Fat reserves. You can

metabolise fat to create Water, which they used in the desert.

Apparently if they're hungry, a hump goes Fluffy. What is the

slowest bird in the world? Hummingbirds actually stayed where

Sorry. Give me a second. What would it be? It would be. Things like

chickens. You are balancing on some of it. Wood... What? We've run out

of time. Well done, Steve, down you come. OK. Wow, didn't he do well!

Bright purple. That is just my face. How do you do it, amazing. I while

I get ready for the under water cave dive I will introduce you to a

UK bird. It uses the water like a bit of a dance floor.

# Just dance # Going to be OK

# Just dance... # Do you know what, us humans think

we have this musical thing sort the. We think we have the best rhythms,

best beats and there are animals who could give us a run for our

money. # Look at her go on the dance floor

# She's amazing on the dance floor # When she moves

# Girl, I want more # Keeping it going girl

# Like I got to know # You got me saying

# Go little bad girl # Go little bad girl... #

Most of these animals are from locations arnt around the globe.

Even we have our own little movers right here in the UK. Make way for

the dipper. Now, that is one funky little bird. I come to south Wales

to try to track one down. Me and the Dipper are going to get along

famously. I'm meeting up with James Byrne from the RSPB, an all round

bird expert. I'm hoping we might catch sight of a dipper or two

today. They are groovy little birds. They are. This is fast flowing

water. We have a tiny little song bird hanging out next to it, which

is unusual? Yes. Dippers love this environment, fast flowing water.

They are designed to hunt in these conditions, while not many other

birds are. They have the whole place to themselves. What do they

sneet They love fish. If there is food here they will be here. This

water looks powerful compared to the size of him. Yep. It's a

stirredy little bird. They can go in faster water than this. I have

seen them around waterfalls, fast flowing white water. Seriously?

They have strong toes and cling to the rocks. If they are here in a

shallow area they will dip their head under the water, but if it is

deeper they can swim around under the water.. How do they stop it

going up their nostrils? They have special nasal flaps. They close

when they are going under water. No water can get up there. On their

eyes as well, they have a special membrane that comes over. They can

adapt to the under water conditions, but not get water in their eyes.

They are quipped with clever tools to help them thrive in this

environment. They all the kit.they are the James Bond of the bird

world. They really are! To prove what a perfect spot this is for a

dipper, it wasn't long before one made an appearance. Through the

trees. Yes, there it is. YES! Big, round bird. There he is behind the

rock. Can you see him, he's dipping. Look at him against that water.

It's clinging on with those strong toes. Not getting moved at all.

He's preening himself. They have a large preen gland which they use to

oil their feathers. That oil makes their feathers waterproof. Pretty

important for the dipper. He's dancing. I knew I was going to like

him. Yeah. Very beautiful bird. They love to dance. A bit like your

dad dances though! Now I've seen the dipper in action, I want to

learn more about how well prepared they are to survive in their world.

The crew have handed me this and told me my mission is on its way to

me, down the River as we speak. I have no idea what they have in

stone for this one. Here it comes. I'm hoping it will be a dancing one.

Fingers crossed. Probably, unlikely. Right. Scary bit. You have seen the

UK's toughest song bird in action, swimming against the fast flowing

water and overcoming the current to pick out their prize. It's your

turn to be as streamed lined, and successful against the current like

the dipper. A white water rafting course will prove your skills with

the crew in charge of the water. You guys can change the flow of

water whenever you want. CAMERA NODS I'm going to get soaked. It's

not a fair test, I don't think I should do this challenge. A

wetsuit... Yep. I still can't do this. The dipper's have that nasal

flap that stops the water going up their nose. Yeah, of course. You

thought of that. What about the eye membrane, built in goggles, I don't

have built in goggles. You've thought of everything. There's no

getting out of this, is there? GERAT! --GREAT! Release the water.

OK, water being released. So, the team are busy planting weights with

floating ribbons for me it grab. I will try to hunt them out in the

water like the dipper does with its I can't even get near them. Got

them. That was easy. That's not it, is it? Are you going to make this

more difficult. Can we turn up the water. OK, the flow is turned up.

HATEYOU. The dipper has a strong current to battle through. It's

only fair I tackle the equivalent for my size. The dipper is a clever

bird much I could do with long gripy toes. Try again. I don't know

what technique to use. I wonder if No! It didn't work. I think I may

need a little work on my dipper This current is getting the better

of me. Bye! So, we are back in the cave, heading towards the grand

finale which is, Naomi's cave dive of justice. To get there we have to

go through this little squeeze. another little squeeze. I'm not

built for caving. Go on, Steve. That's horrid. Naomi, hopefully you

should get through better than I did. Coming through. I don't like

caves very much. One of the biggest expeditions I have done was in a

cave system. We spent nearly three- and-a-half weeks under ground.

Papua New Guinea is an extraordinary place. This cave has

a river which has been underground for many, many miles. Inside was a

world that no-one had explored before. The water here is very fast

flowing and deep. That is why we are wearing life jackets. If you

are spending a lot of time in the water, try not it get too cold. We

are battling against the flow. There are these lines so we can get

across safely. It's pretty fast through here. You don't want to get

swept away there, do you? These cave passages have never before

seen light. Every step was the first taken here by any explorer. I

don't know if you can make this out. We haven't got enough light to show.

We are sitting at the top of a white water cataracts which is

raging off down into the mountain. It's incredible the amount of water

going through here. If you lost your footing you could get swept

into a place where the water goes under ground with no air or swept

over the top of a waterfall. This have to be one of the most exciting

thing I've ever done. No-one has ever seen any of this. In a river

cave quite often you come to obstacles where the water seems it

disappear, the hits a blank waut wall and it's gone. It continues on.

The only way to get into it is exploring it and ducking under the

water. We have got a sump right here. It's leading to the outside

world. I can go under here. It's freezing! You have to get right

down, as low as you can to the ground. It's tight through there. I

will make sure your head gets clear of. It you should pop-up on the

other side. It will be great. I will give you a countdown. Are you

ready? Yes. 3-2-1, GO. Go on. Go on, girl. It's freezing. Oh, my

goodness, that is so cold. That is cold. That was fun! Big round of

applause for Naomi Wilkinson. I tell you what, we should stop

calling this show Live 'n' Deadly we should call it Naomi the Awesome

Faces Her Fear. I would like to say I've had a lovely time here.

Where Deadly goes no-one knows, here's a clue, it could be near you.

Next week Steve takes to two wheels and tests his skills on the UK's

biggest peaks. There is a bird brained deadly mission for

adventure tueers. Lucky lot. We meet the eight legged giants of the

deep who have giant brains to match. Naomi will face her fear. We are
