BAFTA award-winning cameraman Lindsay McCrae spent 11 months in Antarctica filming emperor penguins for a documentary series, fulfilling a childhood dream. In 2017 he spent 337 days with the penguins in the polar desert, watching chicks hatch, huddle together and battle to survive. Meanwhile 15,000km away in the UK, his wife gave birth to their first child. Lindsay has written a book about his experiences called 'My Penguin Year'
