Former Royal Marines Commando and extreme TV adventurer, Aldo Kane, talks to us about his experiences of working and filming in extreme conditions including during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. When faced with challenging conditions how does he cope both physically and mentally? We also explore Aldo's period in complete isolation and sensory deprivation during filming for BBC Horizon series. Isolation can have an extreme impact on our bodies and circadian rhythms, Aldo tells us the effects the period had on him, how he coped and why regular structured days, exercise, fresh air and human interactions are so important to us all. Plus, following on from Aldo's recent BBC Natural World documentary, "Tigers: Hunting the Traffickers", he gives us an insight into the perilous journey he made to expose the shocking secrets of the illegal tiger trade in south east Asia and the impact this is having.
