Inside Life - 1. Polar Bears

Ten CBBC agents have been given exclusive access to David Attenborough's latest blockbuster wildlife series - Life. From polar bears in the freezing Arctic to tigers in the steaming jungles of India, each agent gets their own special mission to go behind the scenes to see just what it takes to film a stunning wildlife sequence. Working alongside the BBC's Natural History Unit, they get hands-on to climb high into a Thailand rainforest to film gibbons, dive wrecks covered in corals in the Bahamas and travel to the remote islands of Komodo to track down dragons.

Adventure-loving Louise Williams is set the challenge of learning how to survive in the freezing cold winds of an Alaskan winter by an arctic explorer. But the cold is the least of her worries as she comes face-to-face with hungry polar bears when on location with the Life team. Can she keep herself and Doug, the wildlife cameraman, safe when a polar bear gets too close for comfort?
