The nature of Britain

[jojo]

Does anyone watch The nature of Britain on BBC1? Tonight, Britain's farmland.
The high speed photography is just amazing. I have just watched "the dance of the Fungi" on a cow pat. Just breathtaking.

 

[Jodie]

No but that was the fastest switch-on of my telly ever
Cheers!

I can't believe it hasn't been brought up already but yes, it's very good

 

[Seagull]

I watched it and thought it was excellent, considering that AT is probably best known for gardening programs.

I felt that he overdid the lyricism at times, but he came across as being very keen with it.

Overall, I liked the musical score, very fitting and , what with the micropics, it was right up there with the best of wildlife productions. Some of the subjects were rather" kitchen sink", I mean, you cannot get much more basic than cow muck...yet he made it interesting.
It was the instances of the fragile concatenation of things, that shook me a little and it made me realise that, mostly, we dont think enough about the total effect on wildlife , of very simple actions.

Good one, Mr.T.

Missed it. We need "heads-ups" on these programs because I neither watch TV nor read the TV guides. I need you guys to tell me what's one.

Same here mate...I only turned on the telly by chance, but I missed the fungi on cowpat scene.....The programme sort of reminded me of 'a passion for angling' very pleasant watching....
I agree with Seagull...Nice one mr T

I read somewhere that he was being groomed to repace David Attenborough.

 

[jojo]

The nature of Britain is on tonight 9pm

 

[Jodie]

Hooray, thank you

 

[jojo]

This is on again tonight at 9pm

 

[Jodie]

I've been back visiting my parents and we all enjoyed this - really gorgeous photography
and music and AT's lovely relaxing voice telling us all about nature-y stuff. I mentioned to
my dad that someone (I see it's nobby) had heard he's being groomed to replace David
Attenborough but my dad reckons it'll be Charlotte Uhlenbroek (sp?). Mind you that
might be his wishful thinking, I don't think he's heard anything

 

[jojo]

Well, I quite like Mr A T as a presenter, but, I must say that I would have to force myself to accept with your dad's wishful thinking

 

[jojo]

One of my favourite program is on again tonight 9pm BBC1. Also Automnwatch at 8PM on BBC2 with Simon King looking for wild boar in the Forest Of Dean.

There's only one SDA :notworthy

 

[Jodie]

Twice I've missed hearing him talk in London. Apparently the scenes weren't that far off
from Harrod's sale with crowds trying to get in. Not having a ticket I realised the futility
of even turning up so didn't bother

Nature of Britain, Celebrating Woodland is on now on BBC1..
