Twitchers: a Very British Obsession

RADIO TIMES REVIEW

Monday 01 November
9:00pm -
10:00pm
BBC4

This wry film follows competitive bird watchers chasing new ticks on their lists. The governor is Lee Evans (not the comic) who is also birding's policeman. "It's like putting Dracula in charge of the National Blood Transfusion Service," comments a rival. It's a small world. There's been an attempt to stop Mya-Rose Craig legitimately listing 310 birds for the year. She goes with her mum and dad. He's obsessive; she's fixated and Mya is, well, seven. But for every new tick on the list, the motorway mileage increases. Entertaining and revealing, the film deserves a tick, too.
