Five, the British terrestrial TV station, is to cover a legendary 'man-eating catfish' from India in its Nature Shock series.
The episode, called 'Flesh Eating River Monster' is investigating the deaths of three teenagers on a five mile stretch of northern India's Kali river, which have been attributed to a large predatory catfish.
The programme features biologist Jeremy Wade, who uses "all his cunning and experience - as well as high tech sonar and a mini submarine" to search for the giant catfish, which can reach over 2m/6'6" in length.
Five said: "In the end it's man against beast, as Jeremy literally puts his own life on the line as he wades into the deadly waters of the Kali River and tries to pull one of these monsters onto dry land."
The series is due to start on October 14 at 8.00pm on Five
