30th March - Tiger: Spy in the Jungle

Silvershark

Starts BBC1 8pm Sunday 30th March (3 episodes)

This promises to be a stunning documentary about tiger family life filmed from the backs of elephants. Part of the natural habitat, tigers are unfazed by elephants tramping through the forest and this enabled film-makers to get a closer look at their family life than ever before. Filmed over two years, this shows the tiger family growing up from the cubs emerging still blind from their den to their final departure from their mother.

It is such a pity I am out on Sunday evening and will set the video for the last but one episode of my Favourite programme and Heartbeat. When I saw that this tiger prog was on at the same time, I had a massive decision to make and Heartbeat won. I will ask a mate to record the Tigers for me.

You're welcome Mr. Green

I'll definately be buying it so I can watch it on the big TV rather than on iPlayer so I get to see it in top quality, plus my aunt has missed the first episode so she wants to see it as well Laughing

Online prices seem to be starting at around £8.99 too so a real bargin! Mr. Green
