Episodes
Island
Alan Titchmarsh travels the length of the British Isles, looking at what makes our wildlife so special. From boxing hares to blonde hedgehogs, fighting seals to leaping dolphins, Britain's natural heritage is full of wonder and surprise.
Farmland
Alan Titchmarsh goes on a journey through Britain's farmland, discovering how wild creatures can find a place to live in our fields, meadows and hedgerows.
He finds out how bumblebees are the key to producing the perfect tomato, why some Scottish sheep prefer seaweed, and meets the fastest creature on the planet - all living in England's green and pleasant land.
Urban Britain
Nine out of ten Britons live in towns and cities but there's still plenty of room for wildlife. Alan Titchmarsh hits the city streets to find out what makes them so special. From Brighton's badgers to Glasgow's foxes, Dundee's red squirrels to Bristol's peregrines and London's parakeets to the otters of Tyneside, Britain's cities are rapidly turning into the new countryside. So if you're one of Britain's 50 million urban folk, the wildlife really is where you live!
Freshwater Britain
Alan Titchmarsh travels from the river's source to the sea to reveal the beauty and spectacle of freshwater in Britain. Discover the real Loch Ness Monsters, the venomous mammal stalking the Hampshirecountryside, and the unexpectedly romantic side of the predatory pike. Watch kingfishers diving, salmon leaping and a songbird that swims underwater, and find out why a drop of rain is the key to keeping all this wonder and beauty alive.
Coastal Britain
Britain's coastline is defined by the wind, rain, sun and tides, and these forces of nature influence the lives of every single living thing here. Alan Titchmarsh braves the elements to find out why our coastline is such an extraordinary place for wildlife, from the giant minke whale to the tiny snail bee, the elegant arctic tern to the plodding toad, and the fastest seabird in the west to one of the world's greatest predators.
Woodland Britain
Alan Titchmarsh enters our ancient woodlands to discover beautiful butterflies, dormice and a bird with a beak like a pair of pliers. He reveals the secrets of the central character in all this drama, on whom all the creatures of the forest depend - the trees.
Wilderness Britain
There might be 60 million people living in Britain, but one-third of our landscape can still be classed as 'wilderness', virtually empty of people. Our mountains and moorlands, lowland heath and the Scottish Flow Country are some of the toughest habitats of all; places where life really does live on the edge.
Join Alan Titchmarsh as he explores Wilderness Britain, realm of the magnificent golden eagle, a plant that fools insects, and Britain's toughest bird.
Secret Britain
Alan Titchmarsh goes on a journey around Britain to look at its most resilient wildlife, meeting creatures that have thrived in unexpected places, including the birds that moved in when Iron Age settlers movedout, the plant that hitched a ride on the railways, and the oldest and toughest organism of them all - lichen.

Resident Alien
Resident Alien is a dark, twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story that follows a crash-landed alien named Harry who, after taking on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth — ultimately asking the question, "Are human beings worth saving?"

As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together... a veritable crime-fighting force.
