If you’re waiting for your next fix of All Creatures Great and Small, then this show on 5 might just satisfy that craving. Actor Samuel West, who plays Siegfried Farnon, is teaming up once again with Adrian Edmondson in Sam & Ade Go Birding on 5, after the success of the first series.
The second series will feature six sixty-minute episodes, once again following the pair as they explore Britain’s birdlife and landscapes with gentle humour, reflection and friendship at the heart. Spanning the changing seasons, Sam & Ade Go Birding captures the natural world at its most dynamic. From spring migratory birds and nest season to the quieter, more contemplative months later in the year.
What can we expect for Sam & Ade Go Birding series two?
Ade has caught the birdwatching bug and is after longtime birdwatcher Sam to show him more as they travel across the country, visiting the rolling hills and towering sea cliffs of Yorkshire to the wilds of West Wales and the remote islands and dramatic coastline of Scotland, showcasing Britain’s most spectacular landscapes in search of birds great and small.
They will encounter swifts, swallows, curlews, red kites, ospreys, woodland songbirds, puffins, guillemots and gannets along the way. The first series saw Samuel West and Adrian Edmondson longlisted for the Grierson Award for Best Documentary Presenter, with the awards to be announced in November.
Discussing the new series, Samuel West said: “My dastardly plan to get Adrian Edmondson addicted to birding seems to be paying off. Ade said he wanted to see more birds, so I thought we should go and find some. I’m not particularly fond of him, but the birds are lovely.”
Adrian Edmondson added: “More birds, more stunning views, more chats, more trips to the pub – it’s a hard life, but someone’s got to do it.”
Kit Morey, Commissioning Editor, 5 noted: “It’s no secret just how much I adore this joyful series…or how long I waited to make it, but the wait was so worth it as Sam and Ade have created something truly special – warm, funny, thoughtful and full of wonder and I was thrilled at just how much our audience loved it too… So, I couldn’t be happier to be working with Frank Films again to bring our viewers six more episodes of this beautiful, uplifting avian adventure”
