First watched : January 1977
This long-running natural history series, starting out at 8.30 pm on a Friday, was really just BBC Two's The World About Us trimmed down to 30 minutes and of course depended on how interested you were in the animals being examined. I'm not really one for birds so may not have caught the first episode about the goony bird but the second one was a film about sharks with underwater filming kingpins Ron and Valerie Taylor ( who also featured in many Survival episodes on ITV ) so I'm very likely to have tuned in for that one.
The programme was usually narrated by David Attenborough and came to an end in 2005, probably because the 78-year old legend needed to lessen his workload.
