Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World archives.
Many a naturalist today grew up to the well-known voice of Phil Drabble as the founding father of backdoor wildlife on TV in the 1970's and 80's. In this programme recorded in 1991, Peter France is joined by Phil Drabble at his home, which is surrounded by a nature reserve Phil has managed since buying the land in the 1960's. At the time of this recording it was 21 years after Living World's first visit here in 1970. Much had changed in that time so Phil takes Peter on a tour to explain his life's work.
