Series 1, Episode 3 - Bolivia
Giles arrives in Bolivia to do some bird spotting and within hours is causing mayhem. It's not long before he's behind bars.
Further details
Giles is in the Bolivian rainforest, in search of the mythical bird known as "Tuttuk Chupchaka". Along the way he's machine-gunned by loggers, tips his canoe into the Amazon, shoots an innocent monkey and breaks up an international cocaine ring with a spoon and a length or elastic. All without taking off his Charterhouse rugger shirt.
