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.

That's a repeat of the programme first broadcast a month or two ago. I
thought that it was very good, especially the 1963 documentary portion
that takes up all but about ten minutes of it. If you didn't catch it
before then it's well worth watching.
