Animal Phobias

S1 E3: Take a tour through the deadly world of animal phobias with those who suffer. For people with phobias, animals are terrible beasts. Fear of animals is one of our most instinctive emotions, a natural way of shielding ourselves from danger. But these fears can intensify to become a potentially lethal deep-seated dread of animals. Each programme includes three short horror films thatinvestigate every aspect of our great terror of animals. They dissect the reality and the fiction behind fears like these. Some of these animals pose genuine dangers, others just appear to be dangerous, while a number of them simply arouse baseless fears in our minds.
