The enormously popular award-winning television adventurer Steve Backshall talks about his expeditions, encounters with wild wonders, the mysteries of the natural world and his brand new novel 'Tiger Wars'. Read more …
The event will feature film clips of the animals that have inspired him and there will be an opportunity for audience Q&A's.
The breadth of Backshall’s knowledge can also be a disadvantage. The first half of the show feels bitty and disorganised because of the sheer number of items squeezed into it.
