Hi guys. I'm working on this artice of this TV series for a limited time. Please help Wikipedia grow by expanding the article.

Thx -Dude

The first series and perhaps the second was narrated by CBBC presenter Angelica Bell. Could someone verify and include this without messing up the flow of the lead? - Mgm|^(talk) 08:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

REPLY: I'm sure the first series was narrated by Katie Hill, not Kate Sanderson or Angelica Bell. The second could have been because I remember they changed the narrator. Snodawg 14:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

REPLY: It is on T.V now Serious Jungle is narrated by Kate Sanderson

[edit] Encyclopedic content

Hey, I think some of the content in this article is not very encyclopedic, for example the last line "Find out more when you see Serious Andes in Discovery Kids in mid/late 2007".

I don't know all of the wiki-rules and such, but I am fairly sure that we shouldn't be personally addressing the reader. Can someone with more knowledge on the article subject and procedures on wiki address this.

I also found a few errors regarding time: "challengers will do...", not "challengers did...". Also some informalities "Serious was back at BBC."

I would do it myself but I just don't know enough about the content to give an understanding of the readers.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I am a very random person and wrote things as they came to mind. THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR (((¶))) 03:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do, Dudejerome, but I have watched maybe three or four episodes of Arctic and Amazon combined, so I don't know a lot about the actual series or episodes or anything but I believe I am fairly good with guessing at what's right and what's not when it comes to the wiki-rules. *blush*. I'll edit off Wikipedia, and copy to your Talk Page so you can check for any errors I may have haphazardly created. THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR (((¶))) 08:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

OK... it's now ages later and nobody probably has been watching this page at all... until yesterday when I deleted most of it. HA! But it needed it and now it's a whole lot better. My work here is done. Probably. THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR (((¶))) 04:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Seriousocean.png

Image:Seriousocean.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I think it should be OK now. --Leon Byford 18:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Last Names

It seems that some of the contestants do not have last names. Either that, or we do not have them in the article! Does anyone know where we can find these, to make it consistent? Otherwise we need to lose them for everyone. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 04:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
