Classic Adventure: Recording the Action

BBC One

A look at one of television's more exotic and dangerous jobs.

Sid Perou is found filming in the Swiss Alps, Leo Dickinson shoots a freefall record attempt at 120 miles an hour, and there's an insight into the problems facing Francois Odendaal's camera team as he continues his Amazon adventure.
Presented by Matt Dickinson.
A Mosaic production for BBCtv
