Awww that sounded really good!!! Up here in the Frozen North *aka Northumberland* we had a fascinating Natural World about ants...in particular soldier, jack jumpers from Tasmania and driver ants from Africa. Was REALLY good....and a welcome change from the usual bigger mammals! Then we had a ten-minute-quickie about Tawny Owls.
Perhaps Bill is on up here next week?

Don't fancy meeting those Driver Ants looked like nasty little critters to me especially the soldiers waving their pincers around, definatly one ant to steer clear off

Salty, according to the BBC's website it has been cancelled for the football!

salty · Feb 28, 2005

NOOOOOOO..........WHY DO THEY DO IT!!!! - i dont ask for much in life, but is a nature programme too much for the BBC thesedays? - why dont they always cancel the only progs worth switching the TV on for????

Jaxman · Mar 1, 2005

Just checked out the BBC "What's on" pages and it doesn't seem that its going to be shown next week either! The RSPB web site is advertising it for tonight also.

Salty, "why dont they always cancel the only progs worth switching the TV on for????" I couldn't agree more!!! Surely the BEEB must consider that British viewers see so little British Wildlife on the TV anyway and given its large audience share its hardly fair to cancel what little they do show. Let's face it, 2 weeks ago they had to cancel Bill's show so that Eastenders got its audience - who'd watch Athletics instead???

Jaxman · Mar 1, 2005

Just e-mailed the BEEB on its "complaints site" about lack of British Wildlife and boring sport replacements. Something along the lines of getting their priorities right. www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/

Out of interest, the online form asks for the transmission date - quite handily it accepted "ha-ha-ha"!

Good luck i emailed them a while back when they cancelled Bill Oddie for the tennis and they claimed it was by popular demand! and went on to boast how good the BBC's Sports coverage was!

Call me cynical, but I wonder if the BEEB dare to boast about their coverage of Wildlife- british especially.
