bill oddie goes wild repeats (1 Viewer)

afternoon all,just been flicking through this weeks listings for channel 144[uktv gardens] and noticed repeats of bill oddie goes wild are to be shown today through till thursday.you get two progs repeated three times daily starting at 12.00,then18.00 and lastly at 00.00.not sure what series they are from but did notice progs from the new forest,london,a village called urchfont and north norfolketc.matt [still not a proper birder,but will be soon?].

Matt,

You lucky so and so having that channel. Can see that all of us left with the old format are missing out here. Glad they are being re-shown. Sorry to show my ignorance is channel 144 part of the Sky package of Freeview? Happen the BBC is making money selling on programmes to other companies. If so, we want more wildlife programmes on traditional tv.

Thanks for notifying everyone, I only check the 5 standard channels.

greetings anne, not to sure about 144 being freeview as its quite a recent channel.my guess is you need sky digital.i dont subscribe myself,just rely on my folks to record stuff for me as and when.i believe its an ''offspring to uktv style''.matt[one day i'll be a brilliant ornothologist]?

I watched a couple of them yesterday and they were from 2002. I dont know if the whole series is tho

Thanks Matt,

2 nature programmes a day can't be bad can it? If you have missed any of the Bill Oddie programmes you could set your video for all of them and have them all on one tape. More organised than the BBC I have all kinds of programmes on any one tape and if I want to watch a specific one, have to search whole tape and guess what? I frequently record over the nature programmes with something else. I try to keep a list in the tape box but inevitably watch some programmes before others and have to start using another one.

Sometime I must curb my addiction to BirdForum and watch some tapes, I have about (don't laugh) 40 tapes in piles waiting to be watched. I keep running out of tapes. Have to watch them all I might miss something I really did mean to watch. Like the Tiger Trade programme tonight.
