About this deal

Steve backs numerous charities in UK and abroad and firmly believes that exposing kids from the very beginning to outdoors is essential to instill in them a love and passion for nature and environment. Between 1998 and 2003, he produced, filmed and presented adventure and natural history programmes for the channel.

Next, Steve joined the Natural History Unit’s fledgling expedition team, making the first ascent of a jungle peak and dropping into a vast sinkhole in the Mulu mountains in ‘Expedition Borneo’. Today, the big natural history series are made without presenters so they can be sold around the world and revoiced for each country. Ollie Davis, aged 7, and Charlie Read-Cook, aged 5, with 8 month old baby sister Isla Warmer on World Book Day 2019. There is a wave of youngsters who are qualifying now who are going to be the conservationists and activists of the future,” he says. But Saker needs Sinter to defeat the Clan, and so the two young eco-warriors will come together one more time.

Alongside insisting that swimming must be learned as young as possible, Backshall’s parents gave him the gift of nature and travel. He has also taken a series of dangerous challenges in shows like Personal Expedition: Mount Asgard, Extreme Mountain Challenge and Down the Mighty River with Steve Backshall. Saker is a member of the Clan, a clandestine group offering child renegades for hire to the highest bidder. From lethal beauties to killer beasts, from the unseen to the unexpected, the one thing these creatures have in common is that they are all deadly to other animals. So Backshall is excited by the technology helping us to unveil marine life in new detail, such as the brilliantly named “snotbots” – custom-built drones that hover in the air above a surfacing whale and collect the substance exhaled from its lungs.

His “sick fascination” with the danger of sharks hooked him as a child, he says; today he is fascinated by how little we know about them. Full of the most incredible wildlife, mind-blowing wildernesses, hairy adventures in the jungle, cannibals, nasty bacteria, hilarious camaraderie with other crew members and natives alike, triumph, danger and non-stop excitement, Looking for Adventure is the irresistible and inspiring story of how a little boy from a normal British family went on to become a modern day explorer, with his heart winning out and the adrenalin all-consuming and unrelenting.He has published several books, Venom, Deadly 60, The Wildlife Adventurer’s Guide, and Looking For Adventure. Saker and Sinter escape by the skin of their teeth when their plan to sabotage a billionaire businessman plundering 'black gold' (natural oil and gas) and hunting wolves in the remote Yamal peninsula in North West Siberia goes disastrously wrong. Taking you through different environments and activities to explore, from minibeasts in the garden and pond dipping all the way through to beach Olympics and sea swimming (via rainy days, wild woods and river exploration), there are ideas small and big for all ages that will get them - and you - more engaged and involved with nature, and the wildlife in it. The year also saw him winning Explorer of the Year Award given by the Scientific Exploration Society. Also an author, he has written numerous nonfiction books and a fiction series, The Falcon Chronicles.

Water is the force that has shaped Backshall’s life ever since he was taught to swim at Aldershot military baths. The days of an English-speaking presenter being filmed in a rainforest for a blockbuster natural history series are gone, he thinks. My parents both worked in the airlines, so we were lucky enough to travel from a very early age – Africa, Asia, South America and the Mediterranean.Millie Barnes, aged 5, dressed as Alice Wonderland ready for World Book Day 2019 at Magdalen Gates School. His parents travelled bravely and on a small budget, “rocking up in villages at 1am without any sense of where we were going to sleep that night”, he remembers. It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. I realise that there are certain animals that people have a universal fascination for, and they are generally the ones we perceive as being able to do us harm,” he says.

Saker once was one of them, until he met Sinter, and realised that the Clan was working for evil, rather than good. This bequeathed him the resilience to undertake his own adventures, as well as diving qualifications, and ultimately led to him landing the dream job of “adventurer in residence” for the National Geographic channel in 1998.Join DEADLY 60 presenter Steve Backshall in the world’s deadliest book about animals, packed with fascinating facts, killer statistics and stunning photographs. Separated by blizzards and avalanches, lost in a breathtakingly beautiful but deadly frozen Arctic wilderness, suffering from frostbite and hunger, listening to the wolves howl and the packs draw closer, it seems that this time they cannot possibly live to tell their tale.
