New Zealand is an extraordinary place: long isolated in the vast Pacific, it became an evolutionary ?laboratory?. Deep in its primeval forests live bizarre, unique and eccentric life forms; weird birds that refuse to fly, giant insects, and living fossils of unfathomable age. Travel across New Zealand and the constantly changing landscapes warp the senses: scenes of alpine Switzerland become arid Spain, tropical Borneo morphs into the high Andes - and all on a cluster of islands half the size of France! From the heights of Mount Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand?s highest peak, to the misty ?shadowlands? of Fiordland and the spectacular depths of the Hauraki Marine Park, Wild About New Zealand explores the magic that is found in New Zealand?s National Parks? wildernesses.

(Jimmy Doherty in Darwin's Garden/2009) In 1836, Charles Darwin returned from his five year expedition aboard The Beagle with some revolutionary ideas about the diversity of the world?s flora and fauna. However, before he could begin work on one of the most influential scientific publications of all time ?On the Origin of Species?, Darwin needed to expand his early hunches into a fully formed theory of evolution through a series of ingenious and astonishing experiments. Jimmy Doherty, farmer and entomologist, follows Darwin?s intellectual journey, recreating ground breaking experiments on in-breeding in plants, natural selection, and some quirky tests involving earthworms and music. Filmed in the gardens and greenhouses of Darwin?s home, this series rediscovers the science underpinning evolution.

More than ever, Hope must share her ideas and expertise with other independent rehab centres, and invite donors, legislators and celebrities to the farm, to help her on her mission.
