We jumped at the chance to produce 90 edits for CBBC. These were cut-down versions of 30 episodes of children’s adventure show BBC Serious. In each series a group of eight 12-15 year olds embark on challenging expeditions to all corners of the globe, undertaking environmental and conservational projects along the way.

Serious Andes followed eight adventurers to Ecuador. Their missions were to build enclosures for spectacled bears and climb the Cotopaxi volcano, in the process, becoming the youngest team ever to do so. The perils of the volcano were too much for half of the team however, with some succumbing to early symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness.
