T Channel 5 7.30 – 8.00pm Extraordinary Animals: The Wi-Fly Pigeon
Our hero is a homing pigeon called Spitfire who works for an adventure sports company in Colorado. When tourists go white-water rafting in the Rockies, a photographer on the bank takes their picture, but getting the camera's memory card back down the mountain in time has been impossible - until Spitfire came to the rescue. Wearing a little backpack just large enough to carry the card, he flies back over the mountains, his homing skills guiding him back to the company's HQ. It's a fine example of the brilliance of homing pigeons, which the film does its best to explain scientifically. Did you know they can fly 600 miles a day? It's all for sex, apparently.

This is so nearly an enchanting series, but you get the feeling it didn't go quite as everyone hoped. St Kilda is a remote treasure trove of wildlife and history, but whenever Kate Humble, Steve Backshall and Dan Snow try to show us something there, it keeps not quite coming off. Kate's dive to look at the underwater life is ruined by strong currents, and all she finds are some sea anemones: nice footage, but hard-won. Steve's hunt for a St Kildan fieldmouse is successful (eventually), but although we're told it's a unique creature, to 99 per cent of us it just looks like any other mouse. And when he goes beachcombing, the best he can find is the fly-blown remains of a small whale. Despite the hapless flavour, it's still, somehow, an atmospheric programme, thanks to the strangeness of the place and its unique history. And it's not every day you get to see Kate Humble wearing a tea cosy to protect herself against great skuas.
