Episodes

1. High Places

Our mountains and uplands are the most dramatic wilderness in Britain. Inaccessible, beautiful and brutal... only the hardiest of animals survive here.

2. Water Worlds

From the Scottish lochs and golden reed beds to southern swamps, rivers and the ponds of Britain’s back gardens, Britain’s “Water Worlds” are wild corners rarely explored – but they are the most biodiverse places in Britain.

3. Life By The Water

Around a hundred of Britain’s 6,000 islands are inhabited by people, leaving the rest to extraordinary animals that have battled the elements and made these wild places their own, which is a familiar scenario for Britain’s coasts.

4. Town And Country

Britain’s cities and countryside reveal the hidden lives of both the familiar and the more unusual animals as they navigate their urban and rural landscapes. Some, like urban foxes, have found great opportunities in Britain’s cities, while others, like the barn owl, fight it out for meals on Britain’s countryside.

Overview

Britain’s wildlife can be secretive, so often goes unnoticed. This series reveals the hidden lives of both the familiar and the more unusual animals with which we share our island home.
