Ping! An email landed in Monkey's inbox asking: "Are you the female Bear Grylls?" Crikey. No. Not last time Monkey looked anyway. North One Television is apparently "pitching documentaries to terrestrial broadcasters and need a female explorer / adventurer". The presenter needs to be a "feisty female" and be able "to speak with authority on surviving in the wild and be equally comfortable in the Amazon jungle as well as the Arctic Circle". North One also insists the right candidate "would not think twice about eating locusts or dung from a dead camel to survive". That's one job even Kate Silverton would rule herself out of.
