Guy Grieves - Call of the Wild - TV?

[malley]

can anyone direct me to a source for the above? Was it ever a documentary? I enjoyed the book and would be interested to see any footage?

Thanks in advance.

Nope, not any tv for this or even pictures in the public domain, which I'm really surprised at. Would have made the book even better. I'm sure he must have taken a camera !

It was shown on channel 4 as a one hour documentary a few years back.try searching for escape to Alaska as I think that was the title of the film.

Yup, been looking for a copy for a few years now. Just reading the book again now.

Last time I saw it was on the Discovery channel, only a couple a months back I think.
Cracking book too.

I had this on DVD that I recorded when it was broadcast. I will try to find it out.

 

[malley]

Excellent. I actually ended up buying the book twice ( cheaply) as the hardback has pictures. Very interested if anyone has a copy! Thanks for the info.

Cheers.

[Retired Member southey]

Oh well, if you click the watch in you tube link it takes you straight to it, I guess 4od don't like there vids being embedded

 

[Shewie]

Good one Southey, cheers for the linky

Here it is on C4 but I can't get it to download like I can Iplayer. Love a copy if anyones got one

 

[JonathanD]

I've looked everywhere for the DVD and can't find it. I have about 10 discs unlabelled so it may be on one of those.

 

[Shewie]

I'd forgotten about him dropping the tree on his tent

 

[malley]

My connection doesn't handle lengthy clips/i-player/C4 very well. If anyone has a disc/copy of it I'd love a copy.

Great book. Really good mix of his skills, human condition, successes and failures. Wasn't sure about him on the "Wild Gourmets"!!
