      Well my Granny used to look after me after school, and she had the videos of Life in the Freezer, which I would want to watch all the time. It just seemed incredible how different it was to where we lived. Plus polar bears are super cute.

      I like all of the areas, but my two favourites were the feeding frenzy episode in The Blue Planet, where there was just so much life, so different from us. Or the episode in Life where they are looking at insects. Again there is just so much we don’t know and it is all so different. My favourite part of that show was where the male beetles climbed up really high to mate with the female beetles, and then she pushes him all the way to the bottom and he has to wander off again.

      I love my job a lot, but sometimes wish I could also do biology, especially marine biology!
