In this very special event, Gordon will be talking about his passion for big cats and sharing some of his remarkable stories working and living alongside his favourite feline friends. 

Fascinated by all wildlife, Gordon had a chance encounter back in 1998 which lead to him spending seven weeks filming tigers in India. Tigers lead to Lions, Lions lead to Leopards, Leopards lead to pumas, and so it went on. Over the years and around the globe, Gordon has filmed many wildly different animals, but cats are the one group he always comes back to. From learning about their hunting techniques and studying the family cat since he was a boy, Gordon will talk through the trials and tribulations of filming cats, the highs and the lows, his frustration at their notorious laziness and his amazement at their incredible bursts of speed, power and undisputed beauty. 

Close shaves and scary encounters are best avoided. For Gordon however, following big cats over the decades has led to more than a few… Like the time an insurance company suspended his life cover for 48 hours while he tracked down a pride of lions with a history of man-eating and the time when he literally came face to face with five leopards in the dead of night. Worryingly the list goes on!

This is the ultimate intimate experience with the wildlife expert who The Daily Telegraph has described as one of David Attenborough’s most likely successors.

‘Of all the people cited as David Attenborough’s successor, he’s out front’ - The Daily Telegraph

Please note the event will initially be broadcast on January 7th 2021 at 20:00 hrs UK time (GMT). It will be available to view up to 48 hours after the event has ended and can be accessed Worldwide.

Wildlife filmmaker Gordon Buchanan has filmed animals all around the world, but unlike most other wildlife cameramen, he lives up close and personal with them in their natural habitat.  Bottle feeding, cuddling and playing with baby bear cubs, The Times newspaper reported  ‘Buchanan really does have the best job on TV’. Gordon is best known for his series ‘Grizzly Bear Cubs and Me’, 'Elephant Family and Me’,  'Gorilla Family and Me’, 'Polar Bear Family and Me’ as well as numerous other award winning wildlife and expedition films. 

This Spring, his socially distanced live shows promise a unique opportunity to hear personal recollections of his globetrotting travels, as he delves into his world of wonderful wildlife all illustrated with his own film footage and photography.  With a reputation for relishing dangerous and tough assignments, his tales of challenging expeditions as well as the cutest animal footage possible, make for a thrilling evening not to be missed.

Over the last 25 years, Lloyd and his wife Rose have devoted their lives to taking care of birds and mastering the art of capturing them on film. They are, without a doubt, the world’s experts at tracking birds and in-flight filming.

Between them Lloyd and Rose have been involved with over 100 different productions and feature films and have worked with every natural history television star including Sir David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, Bear Grylls, Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham, Kate Humble and many more. 

They often appear on camera themselves and are frequent guests on BBC programmes such as 'The One Show', ‘Springwatch' and ‘Countryfile'. From Tilly the Golden Eagle to Poppy the pigeon, it’s unusual to find Lloyd and Rose without one of their feathered family under their arms. 

’The Bucks are remarkable people because when they do imprint, they form a bond they can’t break and it means those swans are with them for life’ - Sir David Attenborough

'Looking after our birds is not just our career and job, it is a lifestyle, as you have to be there for them seven days a week, but we love it' - Lloyd Buck

This show is illustrated with Lloyd and Rose’s own film footage and photography and is suitable for all ages.  It promises to be an interactive wildlife experience like no other!
