On my adventure mission with BBC’s Wild Weather – I spent nearly three months in the Arctic. This is an account of my encounter with an Arctic Hare.
Over 1600 inside the Arctic Circle, sitting precariously on the back of overladen sleigh pulled by thirteen specially bred huskies and driven by two elite Danish soldiers I caught a special glimpse of how the world and its inhabitants adapt to the most extreme of environements.

Journalist Donal MacIntyre tells Michael Deacon why he led one of the world’s most primitive tribes to an exotic and bemusing new land: Britain.
Chief Joseph, of Papua New Guinea’s Insect Tribe, looks appalled. It’s the first time he’s been to London (indeed, the first time he’s been outside his jungle village), and, until now, he’s coped well with Britain’s baffling abnormalities: water that comes from taps, toy dolls that talk, the “dark magic” of revolving doors.
But this afternoon’s trip to see Buckingham Palace has thrown up an outrage he won’t let pass.
“Why,” he frowns, “can I not go in to meet the Queen? I am a chief.”
When the Insect Tribe of Papua New Guinea hosted me as their guest – it only seemed right to offer them a return visit. This is what happened when a `stone age` tribe came to live with my family in London.
We were entertaining our new house guests over tea and biscuits. Their conversational gambits were proving to be somewhat unusual.
"How much did you pay for your wife?" Samuel coolly asked me. "I, er…I…well…", I spluttered.
"Do you mind if your husband have baby with another woman?" Samuel’s spouse Christina asked my seven-months pregnant wife Ameera, who almost choked on her tea.
"Who is the boss?" asked Samuel, casting a knowing glance towards Ameera.
Oregonian film critic Shawn Levy is catching as many movies as he can at the Sundance Film Festival. This week, he’ll share his thoughts on what he sees.
I spent Sunday watching documentaries and came up with a great mix.
First up was “A Very British Gangster,” a portrait of the crime lord of Manchester, England, a sadistic, saucy, cruel, sentimental and gay fellow named Dominic Noonan. It was longish but beautifully made.
What is it: MacIntyre delves into the world of British gangster Dominic Noonan. He blends interviews with Noonan and his minions, news reports, slick editing and a booming, energetic soundtrack full of hip-hop, rock and Brit-pop to create a portrait of a man both charismatic and scary.
Meeting Dominic: "He was quite hard with me at first. He said, ‘My brother was offered a contract to kill you. He hasn’t done the job.’ . . . He kind of respected me because I could look him in the eyes, and I’ve seen plenty of life, and he’s seen plenty of life, both from different sides. . . . In the end, we had a picture of his life and his personality and his world, rather than just a picture of his crimes."
