Anyone else enjoying the new series? Chris Packham is so much better than B'Oddie - you actually learn something from him.

I like the shirt he was wearing last night - Spitfires and Hurricanes.

He is a bit of a Spitfire nut.

Yes. He also adds some secret content to every show. Last series he was dropping Smiths lyrics into the mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT9hGAlt89o

I remember watching him on The Really Wild Show years ago with Michaela Strachen and Terry Nutkins! He seems to be aging well, he obviously loves what he does

It's a better series this year than it has been for a while (so far at least). They seem to have finally realised that relying too heavily on live footage of badgers not appearing and birds sleeping in nests wasn't a recipe for good viewing.

So far there's been loads of really interesting stuff - hawking hobbies, bit about UK snakes, stoats hunting, nightjars etc that are very diffcult things to see let alone film.

And Chris Packham is far better than Body who was clearly going crazy last time they allowed him on.
