Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Part wildlife and part adventure show, EPIC ADVENTURES WITH BERTIE GREGORY follows the escapades of a young National Geographic Explorer as he takes viewers behind the scenes on epic and nail-biting journeys that push into the most spectacular and secretive corners of our world.
Is It Any Good?
If you've ever wondered about the kind of people behind the scenes of your favorite nature documentary, this is the show for you. Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory is the extreme sports version of the National Geographic viewers already know and love. Not only does Gregory deliver jaw-dropping footage of some of the world's most majestic creatures, he takes the viewer along for a detailed look at the planning, equipment, and techniques involved in his quest for the perfect shot (kids will love his drone camera almost as much as he does). Whether it's traversing the treacherous Drake Passage in Antarctica or living with a pride of lions in Africa, his adventures never disappoint and he always serves as an informative and charismatic host, literally laughing in the face of danger while sharing a wealth of information on the animals he covers. And as you watch him play small pranks on his crew or smile big into the camera and say, "And also, I just really like penguins," you can't help but think he's the kind of person you'd love to take with you on your next trip.
