Starts tonight 8 pm BBC2.

Maggie.

Very good so far Maggie.

The only criticism I'd have is they tend to go back to same thing over and over again.

I may be wrong, but found last years better.......thus far.

I take it back, fascinating programme tonight; Hedgehogs, Rodents, Lizards and the Cameraman from Orkney.

Five stars for me

I love it... I think that the team have grown into their roles more this season, they had a few hard acts to follow with Kate Humble, Bill Oddie (I liked him even if many didn’t) and so on. They seem to have found their style. I think that Lolo is brilliant as well and I hope that we see much more of the fish-twitcher.

The Daily Telegraph refer the programme and the three presenters to the Wildlife version of Top Gear.

Kind of seeing where they're coming from !!

All bar the drinking and everything else of course !

I like Chris Packam (think that he might be a saints fan); he says how he feels and sometimes that upsets folk which is good because it gets you thinking about what he is saying.

[Richard]

True. He went to School in Bitterne so probably (should be) a Saints fan !!

Got a nice little pad in the New Forest now.. SEE PICTURE

Also of course, Michaela Strachen has come through a lot; diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year and had a double mastectomy. SEE HERE

Lovely girl.

Spring Watch; another great example of the sort of nature programme that the BBC does so well. I like Chris Packham - he is passionate about nature.

Great three weeks viewing, never missed a single episode.
