George McGavin: It's a Wild Life - Tales from Television
This event is in the past
In this engaging and intriguing show, Dr George McGavin shares his personal journey to discover the world of wildlife – big and especially small.
Join George on a riveting adventure, as he shares stories of the wild and wonderful places he has visited and the amazing discoveries he has made along the way. His work has taken him from the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea and Borneo to the caves of Thailand, and from the jungles of Belize to the savannahs of Tanzania.
As a much-loved zoologist, entomologist and broadcaster, George’s work in television has been fascinating and varied over many years. Drawing from his wonderful collection of wildlife images and film footage, he will share sights, sounds, and behind the scenes secrets – from when it went right, and when it went wrong!
George will also introduce his passion for the most diverse group of animals – insects – which have been around for well over 400 million years and make up the majority of animal species alive today. George reveals the secrets to their success and explores how their survival is the key to our own.
