Bill Bailey's Jungle Hero (2013)
Comedian Bill Bailey embarks on an exotic and thrilling journey to retrace the steps of one of the greatest unsung heroes of natural science and exploration - Alfred Wallace. This is the story of a brilliantly eccentric British explorer who survived man-eating tigers, head-hunting tribesmen, pirate attacks and sinking ships. Alfred changed the way we see life on Earth, but he has since been written out of history. Bill has become obsessed with Wallace and shares his passion for wildlife and Indonesia.
