Some of you may have been watching Alan Titchmarsh, undertaking an epic journey across the length and breadth of the country to explore the huge diversity of wildlife in The Nature of Britain. Some of you may have missed it too. Well fear not. Those that want to relive the series or, indeed, watch it for the first time, you'll be glad to know that there is a 3 disc DVD release from the BBC, which shows the first comprehensive portrait of the links between Britain's plants, animals and the landscapes they live in.

This ambitious series, made by the world-renowned BBC Natural History Unit and co-produced by The Open University, celebrates the uniqueness of British wildlife from tiny harvest mice to mighty golden eagles. Using the very latest in filming technology (as seen on the stunning Planet Earth), The Nature of Britain DVD brings exclusive imagery to our screens. A definitive modern guide on Britain’s wildlife riches, The Nature of Britain features killer whales hunting seals off Shetland, the underwater courtship behaviour of the pike, a honey buzzard raiding wasps' nests and otters in the River Tyne right in the centre of Newcastle.

Focussing on eight distinct habitats – Island, Farmland, Urban, Freshwater, Coastal, Woodland, Wilderness and Secret Britain – familiar creatures are shown in new ways and rare and elusive ones are shown for the very first time. During his journey, Alan shares his enthusiasm for the British wildlife he loves, encouraging viewers to step outside and explore the wealth of natural history on their doorstep... like a really posh Autumnwatch.

The Nature of Britain is release on 26th November and should retail at £29.99.
