Choose the item (A,B,C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the question) about the following passage.
I recently spent two years in the Arctic filming the series Blue Planet I love being in an environment that hasn’t changed for 20,000 years Of couse it’s freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds
When I’m filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary
Originally I was a research diver for the british Arctic Survey project, but for me science lacked excitement, I’d always enjoyed photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentracted on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since I prefer to be face to face with the animals I’m filming I haven’t got in water with killer whales yet, but I plan to Of course, it’s dangerous if you choose the wrong moment They’re big animals and can move fast, so I’d be stupid to film them searching for food!
I’ve never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent Polar bears are bold, clever and dangerous But I made this one see I wasn’t about to attack it – I’m sure it realised I wasn’t hurt it
When I come back home from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit Now I’m fifty, swimming is harder The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-quality work
