I agree, and why does that moment never feature in those 50 best wildlife moments documentaries????

But...i fear you are confusing more than one of the 4 films charlie/phillipa have made about rivers/wildlife...because unless she was suffering with severe bronchitis, My Halcyon River is narrated by a man (not charlie) although phillipa did write the script.
The one i have seen that she narrates is the River Wye film and she possibly narrates the other Otter one.
