I've just seen this advertised on the RSPB website, unfortunately i'm at work but will hopefully catch this on bbc iplayer as sounds like a good watch.

Just watched the first programme and found it very enjoyable.
Tomorrows programme is showing Moths, Seals, Knots, & Flowers.
Quite a bit of info on associated webpage: - BBC - Nature's Top 40 - Homepage
Regards
Mike. |

What a wonderful programme. I thoroughly enjoyed it! The passion of everyone involved shone through and I thought it hit the balance about right between entertainment and education. It wasn't scared to give slightly more in-depth, technical details when necessary like the names of the chemicals that react to provide the glow-worm's glow (luciferin and luciferase).
I've seen some pretty big (I thought) wood ant nests but I was gobsmacked at the size of the one in the programme. I had no idea they built them that large.
And there's nine more of these to go - wheee!

P.s. I've set my recorder up for two hours between 2 and 4 pm - NEVER trust the BBC to keep to the puublished schedule, particularly not in the daytime.

You have to see the Friday one, the spider person is very good, but Dads always say that. |

You must be very proud though, I would be!
And if the rest of the series maintains the standard set by the first (and I'm sure it will) how lovely for her to be a part of something so good.
Pauline, I have actually seen and filmed the number 1 but only on a small scale. But I'm still not going to spoil it for those without the book so I'll say no more until it's over. (Except that I would have put it at number 1 too!)

I enjoyed the programme a lot. I feared dumbing down when I saw the title but its full of info and science which is always a good thing  | | | |
