My DGS (aged 8) spent today being filmed for the BBC for an episode of Springwatch. He met a snake expert and went exploring for snakes and found the one they were looking for. He loved every moment of it!! Lucky boy.

Like a proud Grandma I will let you all know when it is being broadcast!

Of course he is a Lucky Boy, he has a Lucky Girl Grandma.smile
Will look out for this episode ( although not keen on snakes.)

Oh how lovely ?

Luckygirl Wed 10-May-17 19:17:05

Isn't it just! Apparently he was so excited by all the snake info that he forgot to be nervous and came over really well!

I knew I would eventually find a reason why I should watch Springwatch. Do tell us when he is on.

That's fantastic Luckygirl Which 8 year old boy wouldn't love to go exploring for snakes and on TV too? I bet you can't wait to see it. Do let us know when he will be on. smile

how did your DGS get picked to be on Springwatch?

Jalima1108 Wed 10-May-17 20:17:59

It must be on soon - How exciting, will look out for him!!

You must be so proud Luckygirl.

How exciting. So pleased for you all.

grannyqueenie Wed 10-May-17 21:23:46

Very exciting, no wonder you're feeling proud! Look forward to watching it.

How exciting

Lovely. Do broadcast smile when it's on.

Luckygirl Wed 10-May-17 22:06:13

Oh - I will!

He is quite knowledgeable on the subject of snakes and someone they knew was asked to be on the programme, but he said that they would do better to have my DGS! The BBC jumped at the idea and off they went!

We are all thrilled for him - his main delight was meeting an expert on his favourite interest.

Move over David Attenborough!! smile

I love Springwatch. It's strangely addictive! Looking forward to seeing your DGS.

Funnygran Wed 10-May-17 23:22:37

That's so exciting for him and for you. A few years ago my DGS was a little mascot for Chelsea for a televised match. We had a very quick glimpse of him walking on to the pitch which we recorded and which was replayed endlessly!

How fabulous Lucky, for him and for you. Start a thread when you know the date.

I love watching Springwatch and now will enjoy it even more this year lucky. How exciting for your DGS, an experience to be treasured smile

How exciting for you and your GS.
Ten years ago I was on Islay when they filmed from there, every beauty spot we went to the BBC turned up, such fun.smile
