Leg two of the Around the World In 80 Days challenge, in which six pairs of celebrities race against the clock in an ambitious global relay, re-enacting the epic odysseys of Phileas Fogg and Michael Palin is under way. Along the way, the celebrities raise money for this year's BBC Children in Need Appeal.

Apprentice stars Nick Hewer and Saira Khan are already up against it as funny men Frank Skinner and Lee Mack didn't make it to the border between Turkey and Iraq to meet them as arranged, so the leg-two celebrities had to travel further out to Cappadocia to collect the all-important baton.

In just 14 days they have to be in Kazakhstan, more than 3,000 miles away, through war-torn Iraq and volatile Iran, to hand over to Countryfile presenters Julia Bradbury and Matt Baker.

As Nick and Saira set off, they receive bad news. Iran's borders are closed due to civil unrest sparked by the Presidential elections. They must find another way through and decide to travel north into the old Soviet Republic of Georgia and then east to the shores of the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan. They hope to catch a ferry to the little-known country of Turkmenistan, drive through Uzbekistan and finally cross the border to Kazakhstan.

Through Georgia and making good progress, with only 200 miles to the Caspian Sea, the duo take a moment to relax. Saira heads for the shops with the Children In Need auction in mind and Nick opts for a haircut.

They then hitch a lift to the shores of the Caspian Sea but, again, their plans are thrown into turmoil. They find out that their visa applications to Uzbekistan have been rejected, meaning the only option is to sail direct to Kazakhstan, which involves a huge detour across one of the most hostile deserts on Earth.

With confusion over when the next ferry leaves for Kazakhstan, the duo take up their previous Apprentice roles and Nick sets Saira a task – to commandeer a boat to take them across the sea. But the language barrier proves too much and she fails, so Nick tells her: "You're fired!" Stranded for three days on the shores of the Caspian Sea, they finally board a ferry and are back on their way.

It will take Nick and Saira a week to drive to the handover point on the terrible Kazakh roads, but they don't have that much time. Fast running out of options, it looks like there is no way they can meet their deadline. Will this resourceful pair make it to the handover in time?

CBBC goes behind the scenes of the BBC Natural History Unit's landmark new series, Life, to find out just what it takes to get footage of the world's most extraordinary wildlife.

CBBC scoured the country in search of 10 secret agents to embark on 10 fact-finding assignments across the UK and report back to the Life team. What the 10 budding naturalists don't know is that, while on location in the UK, a further secret mission, involving a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, will be revealed.

Each agent heads off on a global adventure, from Alaska to Madagascar, getting up-close-and-personal with polar bears and hands-on with lemurs. The CBBC agents get to work alongside the world-renowned Natural History Unit as they endeavour to get the perfect shot.

Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world. Even though they don't breathe fire like their mythical relatives, there is no other lizard that can match it for size or ferocity.

Inside Life agent Izzy visits a remote Indonesian island and finds herself surrounded by three giant Komodo dragons. She must remember all she has learnt back at the London reptile house about these potential killers.

This is just one of the numerous challenges faced by Izzy and the Life team as they discover the difficulties involved in filming a stunning wildlife sequence.

Inside Life is narrated by Barney Harwood.
