There's this southern African chap who's been doing progs aired on Channel 5 over her. Can't remember his name but the prog's called "Adventure Man" or something, where he goes all round the world chasing and handling the most deadly of snakes. He's just as mad as Steve was, just as enthusiastic, even more risk taking (one episode he was on a narrow ledge on a cliff, with a rattler before him and the void behind - he dropped his expensive camera down the cliff when the snake lunged at him). I've seen him getting bitten by a snake on one episode, he's wrestled an anaconda in the river in another.

He's absolutely "away with the fairies" and it's a wonder he hasn't been killed yet.
