Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World archives. In this first programme recorded in 1997, Lionel Kelleway is joined by Britain's leading woodland historian, Oliver Rackham, who died earlier this year. Lionel and Oliver visit Bradfield Woods in Suffolk which since 1252 has been under traditional woodland management. At the time of broadcast, Oliver had regularly visited this unique woodland for over 20 years. His understanding and knowledge guides Lionel to parts of the wood which link us to the primeval wild wood of Britain.
