Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World archives. Though often seen as wild and unforgiving places the peat bogs of Ireland are important and special habitats for wildlife and they are a natural sponge to store water. In 1996 when this Living World was recorded, the extraction of peat for a number of purposes was still common place. Lionel Kelleway visits Fallahogy Bog in Northern Ireland and is joined by Valerie Hall and Roy Anderson from Queen's University to explore one of Northern Ireland's great peat bogs.
