Wild Russia

Is anyone else watching this on National Geo HD.

Caught the first part on anytime last week and the 2nd episode tonight.

Credit where it's due great camera work, excellent pq for those that are interested it's on Sunday 8pm

from sky guide

Covering an eighth of the Earth’s land area and spanning 11 time zones, Russia is home to an extraordinary array of cultures, climates and wildlife. Breathtaking new series exploring the epic landscape of the world's largest country.

Re: Wild Russia

Yeah had to watch the Anytime version of the first ep and put up with the terrible audio drop outs because the picture and content was so good, remembered to add it to the planner today but no series link!

There were some seriously freaky creatures living in that region of the world and for terms of reference it was as good if not better than the Yellowstone HD series.

Try to set the reminder then come right out of the tv guide then go back in and then go to your planner then try to set seris link, this always works for me.

Enjoy a cracking programme

Re: Wild Russia

Stunning second episode

The Golden Eagle duffing up the bigger Stella Eagle over the fish was very impressive and while man is a poor caretaker it's mother nature that really puts the boot in with things like landslides

Re: Wild Russia

Quite an enjoyable programme, and thankfully free of the breakneck dirge that the BBC call music that often spoils their productions these days.

I spotted a few picture artefacts - vertical banding - and wondered why there was the need for a big SD insert (the reindeer sequences) when there was so much HD material on offer, but on the whole, well worth watching.
