The Man Who Climbs Trees, James Aldred
James' notes from his biog at https://jamesaldred.com
'I got my first proper break with the BBC in 1998 when they sent me to film in the rainforest canopy of Borneo. Since then I’ve been lucky to film in dozens of different countries and to spend long periods working in most of the worlds tropical rainforests. I’ve been honoured to provide camerawork for many high profile productions along the way and had the pleasure of working alongside hundreds of truly inspirational people, not least Sir David Attenborough.
Highs include filming the rare Philippine Eagle at its nest in the wild. Lows include a dose of cerebral malaria and African civil war.'

Grown in Britain Week Oct 10-16 2022
From the Grown in Britain website:-
*
In the UK, we import £7.8bn of foreign timber each year, whilst neglecting the potential of our own forests and woodlands. Only China imports more wood than the UK.

Julian Forbes-Laird, Case Update!
JFL provides an update on the case featured in his earlier podcast And Another Thing, explaining the successful outcome for his client: the prosecution was thrown out as an abuse of the process of the court, or, alternatively, because the prosecution related to an offence “unknown to law”. In a subsequent ruling, the Judge awarded JFL’s client a substantial six figure sum for costs.
As a refresher, the original episode featured the following:-
* *Why the Ancient Woodland Inventory is a fake, and the hazard this creates for housing delivery*
* *The error of law in the Forestry Commission's Operations Note 52*
* *The fraudulently construed Highways England felling licence, knowingly granted by the FC in deliberate subversion of the statutory framework'*

Dr Frauke Bagusche, Author of 'The Blue Wonder' - Why the Sea Glows, Fish Sing, and Other Astonishing Insights from the Ocean
Astonishing events occur beneath the sea: a mysterious glow beckons at night, the smallest organisms play the largest role, and fish, who seem so taciturn, converse with each other—loudly.
But we only know a fraction of the sea, despite its size and intrigue—even the moon’s surface has been studied more than the ocean’s depths.
In The Blue Wonder, marine biologist and diver Frauke Bagusche brings readers along with her into the ocean and offers solutions for the future.

The Highlights Show, Season One
Picture the scene.
During lockdown, Noel enters an empty restaurant, empty but for restaurant tables upon which are television monitors of many interviews streaming on a loop, and on the far wall, banks of speaker systems. The 'Culture' bart has been set up with virtual drinks and a special 'Literary Corner' for readings from some of the authors involved in Season 1, again via TV monitors.
However, tonight Noel, although he doesn't know it, is walking into a trap. Thinking he has engineered a huge suprise for the Tree Lady Talks host, his wife Sharon, he is unaware that she has actually turned the tables on him, and he will be doing the hosting instead whilst she mingles with the monitors and generally has a good time!
The Master of Ceromonies awaits their arrival - hopefully he can busk his way through the evening and link up the highlights which include contributions from John Parker of the Arboricultural Association, Jon Ryan LBI, Richard Collins, Darren Morcroft, John Tucker, Puna…
