The Living World
The Living World is a long-running natural history radio programme, made by the BBC and broadcast on its Radio 4.[1] The series was created at the BBC Natural History Unit by Dilys Breese and Derek Jones, initially as a 52-week series, in 1968.[2] It chiefly covers topics related to the flora and fauna of the British Isles, with occasional forays further afield, such as a 1997 episode on the wildlife of the Rock of Gibraltar.[3] For many years until 2009 the lead presenter was Lionel Kelleway. Current presenters are Trai Anfield and Chris Sperring. Other presenters include Miranda Krestovnikoff,[4] Paul Evans[1] Brett Westwood.[1] and Joanna Pinnock[1] As of August 2010[update] the producer is Andrew Dawes. In July 1968, two possible theme tunes for the programme were composed and recorded by Delia Derbyshire,[5] but these were rejected and a piece of jazz music used instead.[6] References
