The Natural World

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A Passion for Grouse Every year in August wealthy sportsmen from around the world gather for the annual pilgrimage to the grouse moors of Britain. The cost is enormous, perhaps £2,000 for a single day's shooting. Why do they do it? What makes the grouse so special? This programme explores the remarkable natural history of the grouse and the wild heather moorlands where it lives, and look back in time to discover just how it came to be the world's most desirable game bird.
