He's an interesting presenter (meets my "evening in the pub" criterion) and knows a lot about tracks and signs, so might be quite good.

Exactly. He did a good programme on wolves a year or two ago, and got quite angry about illegal poisoning. I approve of him.

Luv Ray Mears, these programs were good BUT being on ITV they were way too short. A 30 minute program turned into 20 minutes after all the ad breaks, and the result was unfortunately very condensed and selective in what they showed. 20 minutes on the Isle of Skye, or Snowdonia? Should have been an hour long!
Another of my gripes was that they were shown irregularly, several weeks sometimes went by between each episode, partly due to live football.
Reckon Ray should move to the Beeb!

I Think I watched 5 and 6 which were the Lakes and Sky. I have obviously missed Snowdon. Where were the other three from?
I like his all round knowledge as well. You only get to realise how short a 30 minute programme is on ITV Player.

They might be shorter but you can say that there's very little padding in his programmes, they cover a lot of ground in a short space of time, watch something on Discovery and Nat Geo - an hour long but only really fifteen minutes of content after they tell you what's coming up, what you just watched two minutes ago and about 20-25 minutes of adverts.
Ray Mears was on Room 101 on Friday.
