'World-renowned survival extraordinaire and global phenomenon Bear Grylls returns in the new Discovery series Escape From Hell. Expect more than just action as Bear marries emotion with real experience in a no holds barred series that celebrates instinct, courage, ingenuity and sheer determination in the face of extreme dangers and phenomenal pressure, revealing insight into the human spirit and our instinct to survive.'

It's been a while since we've seen or heard anything big from Bear Grylls. Three or so years ago Bear Grylls was everywhere. His smash hit Discovery Channel show, Man vs. Wild, was watched and loved by millions around the globe which sent Grylls rocketing into stardom! Now the hype of Man vs. Wild has calmed down, Bear Grylls is back with this action-packed, absorbing new Discovery Channel series.

From bandit attacks, to avalanches, being lost n ferocious sand storms to being confronted with real life bears – these are stories that none of our survivors anticipated but which they all fought tooth and nail to survive.

Bear will bring to life their key moments and experiences, the trials and terrible realities they face and how each of them found themselves in a genuine life and death struggle with the wilderness.

Whether it is jungles, snow-capped mountains, burning deserts or steep canyons, he will assess what they did correctly to make it through and he’ll reveal some of the mistakes they made along the way that nearly cost them their lives. However, ultimately Bear will celebrate ingenuity, their humanity and sheer drive to truly Escape From Hell.

There are six episodes in this series - Snow, Jungle, Desert, Canyons, Mountains and an Ultiamte Survival School episode. Each episode contains three very interesting stories from everyday ordinary people who found themselves in life threatening situations. Bear follows their stories with re-enactments and what they did and cold have done to save their lives.

Yes, there is the usual stuff you would expect from bear. Chopping off the heads of snake and drinking their blood, burning tarantulas in a fire to make yummy tarantula chips, and of course, he drinks his own piss! If you liked Man Vs. Wild or Worst Case Scenario then you'll love Escape From Hell.
