Fantastic drama and brilliant cast. The scenery is amazing, and so is the animal interaction and the scenes between the animals and the children. Stephen Tompkinson kind of reminds me of Dr Dolittle because he is so natural with the animals. The bond between the whole family can be heart wrenching at times, which makes for good viewing. Best all round family entertainment programme on tv. Not really seen anything else on TV with any of this cast so I was a bit apprehensive at first and did not watch it until I saw a couple of episodes from series four and then decided to buy series one, two and three on DVD because I got hooked. If you make only one purchase this year, make it 'Wild At Heart'
