Australia episode 1

Ray Mears embarks on a voyage of discovery into the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age,
a journey that draws on all Ray's bushcraft skills and knowledge of ancient ways of life
around the world, and which begins on the other side of the planet. Ray travels to
Australia to see how food gathering means so much more than just diet to the Australian
Aborigine.

Coast
Ray Mears embarks on a voyage of discovery into the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age.
He tries out the processes they might have used, finds connections with cultures around
the world and tastes the foods of our forefathers, starting with those resources found near
the coast. These were people who lived very differently, but were physically just like us
and faced many of the choices we face today.

It's on any minute now for those in England and Wales.

The ways of the BBC are mysterious. They are showing episode 3 (Wetland)
at 7pm in both England and Scotland, but nothing in Wales or N. Ireland (as
far as I can tell). (On Sunday 30 September).

"Ray Mears embarks on a voyage of discovery into the lost foods of Britain's Stone
Age, a journey that draws on all his bushcraft skills and knowledge of ancient ways
of life around the world. Wetlands were the highways of Stone Age Britain and a habitat
rich in wild foods. Ray processes water lily seeds, tries spear fishing from a canoe and
tastes plant matter from a pollen core thousands of years old."

Also available on DVD

For those not off to the Newcastle gig, the third episode is on in half an hour.

Episode 4 is on tonight if you're in England or Scotland. 7pm, BBC2.
(but not N. Ireland or Wales )

ep4 of 5 - Summer Harvest
Ray Mears embarks on a voyage of discovery into the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age,
a journey that draws on all his bushcraft skills and knowledge of ancient ways of life
around the world. Hunter gatherers rely on meat more than any other food, and their
lifestyle revolves around the hunt. Ray shows how many meals a single deer can provide,
finds seeds that can be made into biscuits for trail snacks, and samples the flavours our
ancestors may well have added in their search for new tastes.

 

[Jodie]

On in about 15 minutes for viewers in England and Wales.

5/5 - Woodland
Ray Mears is on a voyage of discovery into the lost foods of Britain's Stone Age, a journey
that draws on all his bushcraft skills and knowledge of ancient ways of life around the
world. There's no place Ray likes better than woodland, and our hunter gatherer ancestors
would have been just the same: making fruit leathers from hawthorn, feasting on wild boar
and turning acorns and hazel nuts into caloric staples. Ray visits the site in Scotland of
one of the biggest finds of Stone Age foods.
