    He even gets to track down prey with his new wolf family,.But he also discovers,along with the wolf pups that the Arctic is a dangerous place......
    You are never too old to learn!. A SURVIVER!

    I'll be right back, off to set the box...

    EDIT: Done. "Series" will be recorded. I'm tempted to set up the HD channel and record it in HD, but our Humax doesn't control the volume for HD channels (we have to use the TV remote to control HD channel volume).

    Well, I recorded these two programmes and watched most of the first and a little of the second. I didn't like the presenter. Mostly I got hacked off with how much screen time he gave himself rather than the wolves. It felt like the title should've been "ME and the snow wolves."

    Sorry to be negative, but that's how I felt about it. Such a shame; a remote place nobody's ever been, and he made a movie which felt like "My selfies with wolves". It could've been so much better.
