Last seen diving in the Caribbean for BBC1's deep-sea odyssey The Abyss, Kate Humble is back presenting Rough Science - this time from New Zealand. This is Kate's third series of Rough Science.

She made a debut on BBC1’s live City Hospital late in 2001 and joined the series for its first run of 2002 at the same time as joining the new team of Tomorrow’s World.   Kate examined rural matters for BBC’s Country File, added a series from the parkland of Longleat (Animal Park) and joined the team for Rolf’s Amazing Animals – including a report on the dancing bears in India.  

Kate was given the task of training as a Rep for Club 18-30 for Fasten Your Seat Belt '98!  She emerged from a testing experience with flying colours.  Kate researched and presented her own mini-series - Humble Holidays - exploring the most fun for the least money which in turn led to fronting Holiday on a Shoestring.   Her introduction to Top Gear came when she contributed to wetter version called Waterworld - from a mechanical whale on the Thames.
