Behind-the-scenes wildlife show. Greg Thompson films frigate birds from a helicopter using Hollywood's latest aerial filming equipment.

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 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.

In the blue skies of the sun-drenched Caribbean island of Tobago, Greg Thompson's mission is hotting up. He has to film frigate birds from a helicopter using Hollywood's latest aerial filming equipment. Once airborne, he is given the controls of the camera. With just one chance to get it right, will he succeed?
