BBC Yorkshire programme on adders

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Advance notice that on this coming Monday 9th Nov, BBC1 Yorkshire and
Lincolnshire will be featuring adders as part of the Inside Out
programme at 7.30pm. Nicola Rees will be looking at adders in Lowland
Yorkshire, featuring Thorne Moors and hopefully the Yorkshire Wildlife
Trust's Lowland Adders project. For those of you not in Yorkshire,
Nicola says that it should be on the BBC I player later that evening
but make sure to chose Yorkshire and not one of the other regional
programmes under the same Inside Out name. Filming started in the
spring. 

PS. As I guided the cameraman to some of "my" sites in the Peak
District to ensure that he could be guaranteed to find some animals to
film, it will be interesting to see if you can spot the non-Yorkshire
animals. A clue will be if there are pictures of adders mating!

	Well the programme was broadcast yesterday and is now available on the BBC i player at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nvskf It starts about 11 minutes into the programme. Not only did they cut out all the filmed interviews with John Newton and bring Chris Packham up to do the talking but by my calculations 8 of the 10 mins was filmed in Derbyshire! The only non-Derbyshire bits were Chris Packham's film of the dance of the male adders and the interview with Sam who was then the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Lowland Adder Project Officer.
