Known to many through his work on nature documentaries, Gordon Buchanan is one of Scotland’s foremost wildlife filmmakers and presenters. This week, he joins Jackie in the studio to share stories of his time in the natural world.

From a childhood spent daydreaming about the world outdoors and enjoying risky adventures in nature, to a career that has taken him to some of the planet’s most biodiverse places, Gordon has seen it all. He shares how nature has influenced him, how it has seen him through difficult times, and how he first found himself behind the camera.
