    Programme Earth Pilgrim Jan 20 18.10.

    Beautiful filming, entertaining commentary and a superb singer accompanying bluebell scenes.

    How was the singer. What album has it been taken from? Can you help? I want to buy it.

    Satish Kumar was inspirational and a pleasure to listen to. His use of language moved me. Is the music that accompanied Satish available to buy. Could you advise. Also. is that particular programme available on DVD.

    Regards

    Hi - I watched the programme Earth Pilgrim about Dartmoor. In the programme Satish Kumar told us that 'Dart' means 'Oak'. Where does that come from?

    Many thanks

    I watched BBC2's 'Natural World' - "Earth Pilgrim - A Year on Dartmoor" presented by Satish Kumar with both joy and sadness. 'Joy' because it captured for me the essence and beauty of life. 'Sadness' because it reminded me of the damage that humankind has inflicted on the life of the planet in the past ten thousand years, and in particular, the past three hundred years of humankind's 1.5 million years living on the planet.

    Of the many important details alluded to in the programme three are worth recalling:

    A. That unless we are at peace with nature we will not find peace.

    B. The pollutedness, or unpollutedness, of the earth's water is reflected in the overeall health of the planet.

    C. The reference to the life of trees, and how they can inspire us to seek a better understanding of the interconnectedness of life througout nature.

    The programme has encouraged me to continue to seek understanding through my own work relating to shared learning and sustainability.

    Finally, the "Earth Pilgrim - A Year on Dartmoor" justifies the licence fee. If only there were many more programmes like it.

    Thanks again.

    Like others,I am interested in finding the name of pieces of music used in tv programmes such as the gentle jazz used in Natural World's "Tiger Kill".

    Is there a straightforward way of finding out what music is used?

    I'd like to know if anyone recognised the piece of music playing over the 'autumn' sequence with the deer? Violin/viola solo with choral reprise? Also, for those who'd like to know, at the start of the programme Faure's Requiem was played, The Beatles 'Mother Nature's Son' from the White Album, and of course Vaughn Williams' 'The Lark Ascending'. Any help with the piece we're after would be much appreciated! thanks

    I saw the Cuckoo programme and wondered if anyone knew the name of the guitar piece which was used as background music at the beginning of the programme.

    An absolute must see for the human race; sit up and take notice, we can help heal the worlds looming problems and it's not rocket science, it's living and working with nature. A wonderfully well researched and well presented programme, I just wished I had recorded it.
