Host

Michael Jordan

Jeremy Cherfas (some series, probably around 1984-85)

Broadcast

BBC2, 4 November 1982 to 8 January 1987

Synopsis

Quiz in which three wildlife experts were asked questions about the natural world. Much use of clips from the BBC's vast natural history archive. Really more of a wildlife-discussion programme than a quiz, but no less interesting for that.

Trivia

The wildlife experts included Johnny Morris, Lionel Kellaway and David Bellamy.

The main host, Mike Jordan, was famous at the time for co-presenting (with Su Ingle) the excellent children's wildlife programme 'Wildtrack', having replaced the previous host Tony Soper in the early-80s. Jordan also co-presented a mid-80s early-evening wildlife series 'Wild Britain'.
