The experience gave me a real fire to go out there once my rehab was done. I remember thinking, ‘If you’ve got the chance, don’t be scared to follow your dreams – just go for it. You might fail big, sure, but you have to try.’”

Then what happens? Because on the show, he hauls himself out of the lake and the episode ends. He was really in that lake, wasn’t he? How dangerous is that?

I’m sure viewers would be happy to know that the dog was not actually out there for 36 hours waiting to be rescued by Bear Grylls. Explore an imagining of the before and after of global warming with Emma Carroll. Her latest time-travelling adventure suggests that the future has a lot to learn from the past… It’s the near future and Britain is having yet another heatwave. For Polly, it’s the sort of heat that makes her do wild, out-of-character things just to cool down. Like face her fear of deepwater. Essential when she and her brother have been sent to their aunt’s eco lakeside house for the summer. But Truthwater Lake is beginning to dry up and, as the water level diminishes, a lost village emerges... Basically we’d be like, “All right, Bear, you’ve got to get across this river. What are two ways you could do that?” And he’d be like, “I could try to swing across on this vine, or I could try to balance on the log and get across.” He’d know in his mind which was the better bet, the safer bet, but we’d let the viewer play with him a little bit, almost like he was their action figure. He’d do both, and then once he would do one, we had a change of clothes if he needed for continuity. We were straddling the unscripted and scripted worlds in a way I’ve never done before.

I always like that quote that says, ‘you never want to arrive at the end of your life in a perfectly preserved body’. That’s a waste. You want to come skidding in sideways, covered in scars, beaten up and screaming, ‘Yahoo! What a ride!’” he laughs. It was a lot of improvisation. The thing I would say it’s most akin to is Curb Your Enthusiasm. We’ve got a talent who shows up in a sandbox we’ve prepared, and he improvises his way through everything. I’ve worked with Bear for five years now, and that’s his thing. You give him a sandbox and then launch him.There are some circumstances where both options work. You always get funneled onto the frozen lake, for instance. But once you’re on the frozen lake, he knows he’s probably going to fall through it unless he crawls, right?
