An evening with naturalist Nick Baker and his favourite weird creatures!
Nick Baker is currently presenter of Channel Five’s Weird Creatures, having previously been presenter of BBC One’s The Really Wild Show and CBBC’s Spring Watch. His other Television credits include co-presenter of Pirate Ship Live with Vic Reeves and Inside Out, among others.
This new show takes you on a personal journey that has taken Nick to some of the harshest and most extreme locations in the search for weird creatures - from the high elevations of the Andes, to bring you the baggy frogs of Lake Titicaca, to the darkest, dingiest depths of Slovenia’s caves to meet the Olm, possibly the source of the original dragon.
Join Nick as he tells his favourite stories about discovering, meeting and filming some of his favourite Weird Creatures, including candid and revealing ‘behind the scenes’ trials and tribulations, and fascinating insights into how these animals strange looks and habits are evolutionary adaptations designed to tackle some unique habitats and situations.
Come and learn more about some of the lesser inhabitants of our planet, part bizarre, part adventure and part conservation; all served up with a generous dollop of irreverence and humour!
