About this episode
We'll look back at the heroic figures we spoke with over the past year -- and, regrettably, the dastardly villains, who were actually sometimes the same people.
A Sydney snake removal expert arrives at a job to discover a truly mind-boggling number of snakes -- but he rises to the occasion while they're writhing to the occasion.
Despite the pain, Lizanne Wilmot put the pedals to the medal, and blazed a new trail on the old-timey bicycle known as the "penny farthing".
There's definitely a hero in the surprising story of an octopus hitching a ride on a shark -- we're just not sure whether it's the octopus or the shark, or the hybrid creature they form together known as "sharktopus".
A jealous woodpecker lays siege to a Massachusetts town -- shattering reflective surfaces everywhere to destroy the enemy he sees, which is, of course, himself.
