Im sat watching it know

I had to come on and find out if anyone from wab made it through,i presume not

Programme looks good tho

I'm watching this now, quite stunned. I missed the beginning, but one of the contestants I'm sure I used to work with.
I've just looked again. It's them I'm sure.

just watched the first episode!! brilliant concept, Wild About The World, meets The Weakest Link, i'm hooked!!

I've just watched the first episode, it looks like a great experience but the programme comes across a bit like "X Factor for Nature Photographers".

I'm sure I could identify at least two WAB members who would have done better than a couple of the selected contestants.

Let's hope the programme continues to improve, I like the concept.

She was the weakest link,goodbye!

It does beg the question ' why was she there? ' im sure the wabbers that didnt get through would all have had alot more passion than she did!

I have to admit I turned off after ten minutes and watched Star Trek instead. I was bored.

Its why I didnt bother even going to the interview. TV producers want clashing backgrounds and personalities not someone whos good at nature photography. An entertaining programme was the aim not to find a new staff member. Thats my opinion of the situation anyway

I agree with UKwildlife, I think it is more about making an entertainment programme than anything else. I watched out of curiosity but I`m afraid it will end up like the Apprentice The people on there are up for a great experience & wil not loose on the deal.

I am afraid that I completely lost interest 10 minutes in and switched over to Star Trek: The Next Generation on Virgin 1.

I know it's only the first episode but what a load of rubbish.
The concept is brilliant but sadly the BBC have gone for the big brother/cast away type show instead of getting true wildlife lovers, none of the contestants seem to have that much passion for wildlife.
Had they got 10 wildlife lovers with a real passion for nature they could have made a great show but it looks like it's going to be another reality programme like the rest of them.

Again i know it's more about the people & what there doing but why go & film in Africa, the BBC seem to give too much airtime to wildlife programmes abroad.
Apart from autumn/springwatch they don't seem to be making the one off programmes about british wildlife like they use to, bring back JK i say
