Heads up:Natural World

[Mark43]

Just a heads up for this programme on Sunday night BBC2 8.00pm

Philipa Forrester spends a year examining the wildlife of an ancient oak wood plus a look at the New Forest Adders...........if it's the one i am thinking of then it's a beautiful shot well presented documentary.

Don't miss it.

What an incredible piece of filming. Nearly had to get the kleenex out what with the lovely music. Just makes you love nature all the more. Ooo Adders next and Mr Oddie. Great.ww

[Mark43]

Fantastic wasn't it.

Anyone know what the oriental type music that accompanied Spring was called?

Have heard it before but can't remember where it's from.

[Wild-Woman]

It sort of sounded like Stranger in Paradise. Not good on music.ww

It's by Russian composer Borodin. The song "Stranger in Paradise" (from the 1953 Broadway musical Kismet) is based upon the Polovetzian Dances from his opera Prince Igor.
