Meetings With Remarkable Animals

Join Martin Clunes as he discusses Meetings With Remarkable Animals, a fascinating, moving account of the astonishing ways animals have enriched our lives. From search and rescue dogs to mine-sniffing rats, these stories will charm, surprise and astonish in equal measure. 

Together with his own life-changing encounters with animals around the world, Martin celebrates some truly extraordinary creatures whose lives have been entwined with our own. This promises to be a heartwarming and inspiring talk from one of tv's most loved personalities.

Martin Clunes has been a familiar face on our television screens since the 1990s. Alongside hit shows like Men Behaving Badly and Doc Martin, he has presented documentaries from around the world including Lemurs of Madagascar, Islands of the Pacific and A Dog Called Laura. He was awarded the OBE in 2015 for his contribution to drama, charity and the community in Dorset where he lives with his family and lots of animals.
