Monty Halls

Well known BBC television presenter Monty Halls’ TV career began when he won Channel Four’s Superhuman competition in 2004. Since then he has presented series and documentaries for the Discovery Channel, The National Geographic Channel, BBC1 and BBC2, Channel 4, and the History Channel.

Other projects have been on the west coast of Scotland, where he lived in a tiny bothy on a beach for six months, following in the footsteps of his hero Gavin Maxwell. This series aired on BBC2 in 2009 as "Monty Halls Great Escape", hitting viewing figures of over 3 million. He returned in early 2010 from a further six months as a nature ranger in the Outer Hebrides, an experience recorded for the second series on BBC2 called "Monty Halls Great Hebridean Escape" which was aired in May of 2010. Monty’s latest series of Great Escape, "Monty Halls' Great Irish Escape" has recently been shown on BBC2 and there are more chances to see him on TV next year with two new shows coming out; one looking at our inshore fishing fleet and another all about of The Great Barrier Reef.

As an ex-Royal Marines Officer, broadcaster, explorer and writer, for over twenty years Monty has led international teams through some of the most demanding environments on earth. He has worked for Nelson Mandela as part of the peace process in South Africa, was awarded the Bish Medal for services to exploration, and for the last decade has specialised in delivering thought-provoking and highly amusing presentations about performing under stress.
