TWO hundred schoolchildren met popular television presenter Steve Backshall at a question and answer session in Cheddar.

Steve, presenter of the BBC’s Deadly 60 and Lost Land of the Tiger, was in the village last week to appear for Cheddar Arts at the Kings of Wessex School’s Kings Theatre.

Schools from across the valley were allotted free tickets for the session, and held a range of imaginative competitions and raffles to share them out fairly.
