The Really Wild Show is a long-running British television show about wildlife, broadcast by the BBC as part of their CBBC service to children. It also runs on Animal Planet in the US.
The show was broadcast each year from 21 January 1986. In April 2006 the BBC announced that the show would be axed that summer, and as such the last episode was shown in May 2006, giving the show a run of 20 years.[1]
However, in July 2017, it was announced that the BBC were in talks with Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan to bring the show back.[2]
The theme tune used was extracts taken from the start and end of the track ELLOVEE-EE by Tony Sherman.
