It should be a good show as Bryan always has some great stories to tell

Reporter: Liam Bartlett
Producer: Howard Sacre
Liam Bartlett has just come back from a very scary assignment up in our remote north where the waters teem with deadly marine creatures.
Box jelly fish, sea snakes, Cape York truly is the poisonous tip of Australia.
Liam’s guides on this adventure were a bunch of gung-ho scientists who risk everything to milk these deadly animals for their venom.
They're convinced these highly-toxic poisons may in fact hold the key to incredible medical breakthroughs.
All very well, but getting these nasty critters to part with their venom is not for the faint-hearted.
Special features:
PHOTOS: Liam Bartlett gets up close to some of the most highly-toxic animals.
