To celebrate our Really Wild Exhibition in the Gallery we are delighted to welcome Chris Packham with two exciting shows in one day. His energy and enthusiasm for natural history publicly premiered with the award-winning Really Wild Show on BBC1. Many more programmes followed, most recently Watchout, Birdwatch, and the highly acclaimed X-Creatures. He even contributed to ITV's The Good Sex Guide- thankfully talking about real birds and real bees! His love of all things wild has shaped his career, which includes successful and award winning photography and a string of wildlife books. His approach is modern, involving, down to earth but above all enthusiastic. The first "punk" presenter won't shy away from controversy or humour in his quest to win a new audience of natural historians! First of all...Chris Packham presents
