5. BBC

In 2018 BBC Earth launched a global search to find a fresh new presenter who can offer a different perspective on all things natural history and science, to join the team to film a four-part YouTube series as BBC Earth’s newest online presenter. Budding science storytellers were asked to film a 60second video sharing their favourite science fact.

I travelled to ‘Blue Zone’ village of Seulo, Sardinia to ask some of the oldest people on the planet why they are living longer than the generations following them. Five Centurions and Pino Leddar, the Genealogist studying them, invited me into their homes to share their key to longevity.
