Interesting TV This Week…
‘The Wild Horse Redemption’,  focuses on a ground breaking project in the Sierra Nevada where criminals work with wild horses as part of a rehabilitation programme.
Hopefully this is not too much of a ‘busman’s holiday’ recommendation but you may find it entertaining to watch “Even My Pet’s a Porker” where human nutritionists and vets team up to take a whole family and its animals in hand; alternatively there’s some great wildlife viewing on offer too…

The Beeb has a number of appealing offerings this week: BBC4’s ‘Life – Creatures of the Deep’ focuses on some of the most peculiar sea life. Set in New Guinea, BBC HD’s ‘Lost Land of the Volcano’ offers a heady mix of striking wildlife and high-octane ventures as a team of wildlife documentary makers and scientists join forces. Also featuring is BBC2’s series from the eponymous cameraman and presenter – ‘Simon King’s Shetland Diaries’. In a brave move, Simon King moved his entire family to The Shetland Isles in order to be able to experience and report on the islands throughout the changing seasons. Treats this week include encountering a pod of killer whales.

‘Borneo Expedition’ follows a team on the search for elephants and also features some of the less pleasant wildlife they encounter including leeches and parasites. Horse lovers are also in for an inspiring treat with Animal Planet’s ‘The Wild Horse Redemption’, which focuses on a ground breaking project in the Sierra Nevada where criminals work with wild horses as part of a rehabilitation programme.

‘Life – Creatures of the Deep’, BBC4 – 7pm, Saturday 27th March
‘Even My Pet’s a Porker’, Animal Planet – 4pm, Tuesday 30th March
‘Lost Land of the Volcano’, BBC HD – 11pm, Wednesday 31st March 26th
