Natural World: Mississippi - Tales of the Last River Rat

[Louster]

Anyone see this documentary-esque thing on the other night on BBC2?

One word: beautiful.

Wonderful soundtrack, wonderful images, all narrated by this great natural-wisdom type guy. Beautiful atmosphere to the whole thing. Real treat to watch.

I wish I knew. It doesn't even seem to exist on the internet, and the only shops mentioning it only seem to have the book.

Worship me, mighty giver of information.

Although commercially unavailable to buy, the series is hoped to be repeated in 2006. Long old wait...

I imagine UK Nova will have it for download but I have forgotten my passy so I can't go search.

A friend of mine searched on UKNova a week or two ago and they only had Natural World episodes from sometime in December onwards.
Bring on 2006, I guess.

Holy crap it's 2006 and when is/was this thing on, exactly?

 

[Damini]

All I was told by the BBC was that they were planning to repeat it in 2006. I don't know when... Prod them with a poo stick through e-mail until you get a response.

This thread is one of the first results in google for this thing.

God dammit.
