From his roots in suburban Southampton to the frozen poles, sticky forests and searing deserts, he has come eye to eye with wildlife in all its forms. Informative, thought provoking and controversial, this fabulously entertaining show is great for all the family and studded with his trademark quick wit and irreverent humour.
