Steve Backshall will perform his new show, Ocean, at 14 locations across the UK, including Stoke-on-Trent on Tuesday 22 October.

His promotors say: "Steve Backshall's Ocean is a love letter to the most exciting environment on our planet – and a great way to learn more about what we need to do to save our seas.

"Stunts, experiments, props, cutting edge science and big screen footage from his two decades in TV, will all help Steve to bring the icons of the Big Blue to life.
