The TVI Take
BBC nature series following Oona, a baby puffin on Ireland's Skellig Michael. Narrated by Chris O'Dowd with a warmth that never condescends.
High educational value from genuine natural history — habitats, animal behaviour, seasonal cycles — presented with patience and beauty. A rare example of a children's show that treats the natural world with real reverence.
