The Future is Wild

[ffutures]

In the Oxfam bookshop this lunchtime I found a rather nice book called The Future is Wild - A Natural History of the Future by Dougal Dixon and John Adams, turns out to be linked to a TV show of the same name from the discovery channel:

The web site has some niceish wallpaper and other illustrations.

The book seems to be along the same lines as Dixon's "After Man", though the biology is rather different. More emphasis on invertebrates, especially molluscs. Not quite so cuddly, but I suspect a little more plausible.

Anyone know if there are plans to show this on UK terrestrial TV?

They showed it on Sky a couple of years back, and I videoed it. It was repeated before Christmas on Freeview, I forget which channel.

The programs are good, would you like to borrow the videos?

If it's on DVD I'll get that, I think. (checks) Amazon are doing it expensively in region 2, or cheapish in region 1. Think I might buy the region 1 set.
