Following the game traders who capture wild animals in South Africa's nature reserves, and sleep rough under the stars as they move across the plains from job to job.

At the Akrotiri Peninsula in Cyprus, nine fighter pilots take part in a five-month training course to gain entry to the elite Red Arrows aerobatics display team. In the 44-year history of the squadron, there have been six deaths, and the dangerous nature of the job means potential members must be experienced RAF pilots with at least 1,500 flying hours, as the Hawk jets they will be flying reach speeds of more than 400mph, and often fly only 4ft apart.

The demands of working for one of America's biggest commercial diving companies, US Underwater Services. The work involves cleaning and repairing water towers, sewerage systems and offshore oil rigs, and brings with it a variety of dangers, including the risk of internal injuries such as embolisms, thrombosis and decompression sickness. New trainee 19-year-old Matt Donaldson is given his first job of inspecting a 130ft water tower for cracks.
