Wineterwatch 1963 - the Big Freeze

The winter of 1962-3 was one of the coldest on record in the UK with
persistent northerly and easterly winds bringing heavy snow as lakes and
rivers froze over.
Chris Packham introduces this archive documentary, originally shown in
February 1963, and asks how wildlife would cope with the same conditions
now.

Surely wildlife would cope in exactly the same manner now as it did then?
Better perhaps as I think there is more awareness about feeding birds in
the winter today than there was back then.

As for the people, well......
