Sue Flood was born in North Wales and attended the Queen’s School, Chester. She then went on to study at Durham University, graduating in 1986 with an Honours degree in Zoology. After spending 3 years with wildlife production company Survival Anglia, she joined the world-renowned BBC Natural History Unit in 1993. Sue spent 11 years at the BBC, fulfilling a lifelong ambition to work with her childhood (and adult!) hero, Sir David Attenborough. Her BBC experience including working as Associate Producer on the award-winning series The Blue Planet, and also Planet Earth and the Disneynature movie Earth. The latter took her to the Arctic, Antarctic and the South Pacific, as a stills photographer and field assistant, supplying images for publicity for the series.

Lucy Cooke is an award-winning TV presenter and producer, best-selling author and popular public speaker with a Masters in zoology from New College Oxford, where she studied evolution and animal behaviour under Richard Dawkins.

Her style is immersive, journalistic and unashamedly populist: mixing expert story-telling with a dash of humour to reach the widest possible audience. Most recently Lucy has joined the Springwatch team on BBC2, co-hosting the live broadcast from Sherbourne in 2018. Her quick wit and far-reaching knowledge have seen her pitted against the great Chris Packham as his opposing team captain on the BBC2 natural history quiz show Curious Creatures, now in its second series.
