Deadly 60

Deadly 60 is a show I have fond memories of watching back when it first started airing in the early 2010s.

The show is presented by Steve Backshall who with his adventurous energy and passion for wildlife is essentially Britain's answer to the late Steve Irwin. The premise is simple, Steve travels around the world to different countries looking for their most dangerous animals to add to his list the "Deadly 60". The show is primarily aimed towards a younger audience but can be enjoyed by people of any age and it's lighter style of presenting lends itself well to casual viewing.

My favourite aspect of the show is how Steve frequently interacts with his camera crew, thereby involving them in the action. It's rare with shows such as this that you get to meet the people behind the camera, let alone see them, but here the crew are just as much stars of the show as Steve himself.

If you're a fan of wildlife documentaries, particularly those of the late Steve Irwin, then I highly recommend Deadly 60.
