New Episodes of Austin Stevens Adventures for Five

BRISTOL, June 26: Five has commissioned Tigress Productions
to produce six additional episodes of the series Austin Stevens Adventures for broadcast on the station this summer.

The show follows the adventures of the eponymous South
African herpetologist as he confronts dangerous animals across the world.
Originally aired on Animal Planet US, the first six episodes were a hit when
they were broadcast in the U.K. on Five last year. “Austin Stevens is a
fascinating and charismatic presenter and his knowledge and enthusiasm is
compulsive viewing,” said Andrew Jackson, Tigress’s managing director.
