The first of two programmes with Simon Groom, Christopher Wenner, Tina Heath Giants of Stone
Travel back 4,000 years in time as Simon, Chris and Tina explore one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the Pyramids. In blistering temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, Simon nearly makes it to the top of the biggest of the three pyramids at Giza, near Cairo, while Tina keeps cool inside the burial chamber of the Pharaoh Cheops. Chris explores the bottom of the Red Sea with an underwater camera and Simon joins the long line of Blue Peter presenters who've bitten the sands of the desert, thrown from the back of a bad-tempered camel!
