Donal
MacIntyre is blasted, roasted, frozen and soaked on an epic journey
to experience and understand the wildest weather the planet can
throw at him. In Wild Weather, the tough man of journalism meets
his match in a new series exploring how the world's weather works
and what it is that drives it.
From
a gruelling marathon in the heat of the Sahara to paragliding through
the fury of the monsoon, he is tested to the limit. Donal triumphs
where others have failed, the first man to withstand hurricane force
winds of 136 mph in a wind tunnel, parachuting through freezing
air in the Arctic and swimming beneath the ice.
The
programmes also introduce people who have experienced wild weather
- the woman who has been struck by lightning three times, the survivor
of the most destructive hurricane of the century and the man who
rescued 20 people from a disastrous flood in Norfolk and 50 years
later is reunited with those he saved.
From
amazing locations around the world, using stunning computer graphics
and rare archive, Donal reveals a new perspective on the world's
weather and explains the strange and often unbelievable connections
between totally different parts of the world.
The
DVD extras include an exclusive interview with Donal MacIntyre and
a biography detailing his interesting and varied career. It also
contains the original musical score.
