Winterwatch

Winterwatch will return to BBC Two this year, broadcasting live from its new location in the wildest part of the UK - the Cairngorms National Park - the new, year-round home for The Watches.

Presenters Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Gillian Burke will host the wildlife extravaganza, kicking off the year in the depths of winter in one of the toughest places in the country for our animals.

The freezing temperatures and blanket of snow make this an extreme environment to call home, and the team will explore how the local wildlife adapts to get through this toughest of seasons. Naturalist and presenter Iolo Williams also joins the team in the Cairngorms to investigate some of the mysteries of the season.

There will be four live episodes in total:

• Tuesday 29 January - 8pm-9pm
• Wednesday 30 January - 9pm-10pm
• Thursday 31 January - 8pm-9pm
• Friday 1 February - 8pm-9pm
