Survival of the fittest as ITV wildlife show returns

ITV's veteran wildlife show Survival is to return to the broadcaster after a gap of more than 10 years, with wilderness expert Ray Mears as host.

The show, which originally launched in 1961, will return to ITV1's primetime schedule next year for a new series.

I used to like the Survival programmes on Anglia TV, they were produced by Collin Willock a great countryman, and co author of one of my favourite books, The Punt Gun Adventure, Jack Hargreves was the other author, they were good mates.

Anglia also used to make a programme called Look Stranger which was very good as well, I remember seeing a programme on Kenzie Smith, and old fowler/poacher/guide.
Had a great influence on me as a kid.
Wish they would make programmes like this again

Interesting. Adverts could spoil the programme but I'll deal with it! I reckon Bear grylls should reconsider his programmes and try an educational survival series with kids much like Eddi McGhee did back in the 80's. I think it would be muh better for his image, his current programmes remind me of this clip from YouTube!
