Wild Tales from the Village

[Char]

I'd posted this elsewhere but thought I'd post it here in case there are some other people that may be interested in watching it.

Animal drama that tells the story of a year in the life of an extraordinary village, hidden away in the timeless French countryside. Narrated by Tcheky Karyo, this tale reveals the parallel world of incredible tiny creatures that live side by side with the unsuspecting humans.

Red squirrels, wild boar, edible dormice and a cunning stone marten all take advantage of the riches of the village, whilst doing their best not to get caught. Can they outwit the villagers and survive the seasons? Seen from the perspective of these secretive animals, their adventures are happening right beneath our feet.

'tis a delightful film, if you like wildlife - an hour long though so something for a rainy day perhaps - the chap who does the narration has a lovely voice and is (imho) very good.

It sounds like something I'd really enjoy and it is definitely a rainy day. But having just come from the rain, I have to go out again in 20 minutes, so I'll try to watch later.

It has been on UK TV some time ago and is most definitely worth a (re)watch. Well done Char for finding it.
