Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild (Channel 5, 9pm)

HE'S become Mr Charming of outdoor adventure, but it's been noted that Ben Fogle's first new foray into the unknown takes him to the far corner of America's Pacific Northwest and a freezing forest where a frosty Fogle appears much in need of a warm sleeping bag.

He spends time with 50-year-old British-born Lynx Vilden, who has spent more than half her life living, hunting, eating and sleeping in the wilderness.

Fogle experiences life in her home, the Earth and Fire Lodge, where she teaches him some of the tricks of surviving, Stone Age style. She also explains her mission to persuade the rest of us to 'become prehistoric'. As people might recall, the British winter of a few years ago saw temperatures hit -15 degrees C, so this is not the sort of environment you want to hang around in, especially when you have six feet of snow on your doorstep.

Soon Fogle is busy lighting fires; using a homemade bow and arrow; eating bear fat; sleeping in animal skins and building his own igloo. But it also means sleeping in an earth lodge, wearing animal hides , using moss for toilet paper, washing in snow and bedding down under buffalo-skin. Fogle has met a lot of wild people across the past four series, but he claims Lynx is the "wildest". However, she is not just surviving, but thriving in her environment, and by the end of the experience Fogle explains that he will be proud to tell his grandchildren he met her.

Fogle has worked on the likes of One Man and His Dog; Countryfile; Crufts, and Countrywise, but proved he was more than just rent-a-celebrity when he and James Cracknell took part in the pairs division of the 2005-2006 Atlantic Rowing Race. Their adventure was documented in the award-winning BBC documentary Through Hell and High Water, just one of many challenges he has faced in recent years.

And for this fifth season of New Lives in the Wild, Fogle also travels to Canada, the wilds of Hungary; outer Mongolia, the most remote park in Tanzania, East Africa and Ibiza.
