Angry Planet - Season 2

Linking up with legendary storm chaser Jim Leonard, George tracks Hurricane Dean as it makes it's way across the Caribbean – eventually building to Category 5 strength. The pair fly to Jamaica to intercept the storm, and get right into the action as witness its power as it pounds the shoreline of the island. George then travels to Nova Scotia to experience the even bigger turmoil of Hurricane Noel as it sends huge waves into the iconic Maritime village of Peggy's Cove.

Waterspouts are the nautical cousins of tornadoes – spinning whirlwinds of water vapour that menace mariners and exposed shorelines. George uses a motorboat, a van and small plane to try to get up close to these freak winds in the Florida Keys – home to more waterspouts than anywhere else in the world. While exploring the southern tip of Florida, he gets a chance to meet some of the 25 million alligators that live in the Sunshine State.

George explores the wild side of Hawaii – diving with Galapagos sharks, ascending to the snow covered blizzard conditions at the top of Mauna Kea, descending to 85 feet under the water to have his teeth cleaned by Peppermint Cleaner Shrimp, witnessing Banzai Pipeline – the biggest, toughest surfing beach in the world – and getting his boots lit on fire by Kilauea, one of the world's most active and spectacular volcanoes.

When summer starts to heat up, the thunderstorms and winds start to blow across the Great Plains of North America. In early December, the same thing happens across the dry dusty Outback of Australia. George heads down under to link up with Aussie storm chaser Jimmy Deguara, and the pair head out "back a buggary" as the Aussies say, to witness the storms. While in Oz, he dives with some of the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef, and when the opportunity arises to see how painful the sting of the venomous Box Jellyfish is – well, he has to have a go, doesn't he?

North America's hottest temperature ever? 134 degrees F – Death Valley, California. The coldest – Snag, Yukon - -81 degrees F. "Angry Planet" visits both – Death Valley in the hottest week of the summer, Yukon during a long cold snap in mid-February. In both extremes, George meets ultra marathon runners, testing themselves against the searing heat of Death Valley and the bone-chilling cold of the Yukon. He tries his hand at running through the desert, and dog-sledding though the northern snow. He also meets some of the wild characters of the north, like Caveman Bill, who has now lived in a cave outside Dawson through 12 long cold Yukon winters.
