It hasn't shown up on the BBC, ITV, CH4/5 networks yet. I'm one of those die hards who doesn't have Sky. Unfortunately for ISBA we have certain expectations this side of the pond. Courtesy of a certain Ray Mears. If the program is factualy accurate and gives good advice - great. Unfortunately America T.V. has to contend with the litigation happy side of America. If they didn't appease the "conservation, YOU VILL BE politically correct" brigade it's quite likely that they will wind up spending a lot of time fighting off law suits. We just have to hope that the ordinary joe watching the program appreciates that nuance. As for the snake, I suspect that the camera angle etc made him look a lot closer than he actually was. In his shoes I would make damn certain that I knew exactly what the snakes maximum striking distance is ( half it's body lenth for a rattlesnake) and made damned certain that I stayed outside of it. Plus a fudge factor of say, 50%. Just in case no one has told the snake!
