Autumnwatch returns to our screens from Friday 7 October at 8.30pm on BBC Two. The big news this time around is that Kate Humble is no more and will be replaced by Michaela Strachan, hence reforming the Really Wild Show dream team with Chris Packham. I fully expect Terry Nutkins to get involved next year! Martin Hughes-Games reprises his role as the likeable layman – kind of like Alan Davies on QI.

The live shows will be coming from the National Arboretum at Westonbirt for the first four weeks, then the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust’s Slimbridge reserve for the final four.
