Excellent news. I've also been wondering how long it would be until it came back on our screens. I loved it last year, hope this year's the same!

Euan Buchan · Sunday 22nd May 2005, 09:35

I already have a video at the ready to record it on

A CHAPLIN · Sunday 22nd May 2005, 10:54

Hi Euan,

Good lad, I have just got back from shopping bought 4 4hr tapes I can get 12 hours out of each with my video do you think I will have enough?

Don't forget the Stately Stoats.

Ann

Well done - i can throw away my `reality` tv guide now and get down to some more interesting viewing. Thanks.

Stuart Watson · Monday 23rd May 2005, 17:35

In the recycle bin naturally

Gill Osborne · Monday 23rd May 2005, 17:59

Thanks for that Ann.

Okay...I have a WEEK to teach myself how to set the video!!!

Got loads of new video tapes last week but don't actually know how to use the dratted machine!!!

It's all Neil's fault - I'd JUST got the hang of the last video machine and then he went out and bought a new one!!!!!

Certainly worth watching for the Eagles alone.

Glad to see Bill has retained his hero status Euan

kas · Monday 30th May 2005, 20:19

I had a bit of explaining to do when my son started asking why the badgers and the hedgehogs were jumping on each others backs.

The eagles were amazing, especially seeing the size difference between male and female. Delighted with the eaglets names.
