It may be a little mean to say it but seems highly apposite that this BBC series is presented by Alan Titchmarsh. The result is generally visually pleasing but the dialogue is clearly owes more to gardening than science. Having said that, much of the 'nature' of (...pause for Shakespearean descriptions...) 'this sceptered isle' is essentially more a product of gardening and agriculture (human intervention) than of the forces of nature. The series may actually benefit biological sciences by further stimulating interest in nature but its a rather 'twee' kind of nature!
