British Isles - A Natural History
- British Isles - A Natural History
"British Isles - A Natural History" is an eight-part documentary series produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and presented by Alan Titchmarsh. Originally broadcast in the UK on BBC1 in September 2004, it took viewers on a journey from the formation of what is now the British Isles some 3 billion years ago to the present day, revealing how natural and human forces have shaped the landscape. Each of the 50-minute episodes was followed by a 10-minute short specific to each region of the country. Titchmarsh is currently working with the Natural History Unit on a follow-up series about British wildlife, called "The Nature of Britain"
A 3-disc Region 2 and 4 DVD set (BBCDVD1506) featuring all eight episodes was released on 29 November 2004. Titchmarsh wrote an accompanying book, also called "British Isles: A Natural History", and released by BBC Books on 1 October 2004. (ISBN 0-563-52162-7)
