I do too Myra, especially those about animals of people.
When I worked at the BBC I got to know a nice lady TV producer quite well as I was often a first port of call for Production Teams going out to on locations.
She was an anthropologist and one day she asked me if I'd like to sit in with her and the editor to go through the early rushes of her recent trip to Ethiopia to see a particular nomadic tribe.
I was hooked!
I think that's when my hunger for information in this form first started.
That lady producer was so passionate about what she did and so very caring too.
She once came back from somewhere where there had been a drought for years and she said she simply could not eat surrounded by thousands of starving people; she had lost a stone in three weeks and looked ill!
I often wonder how she is now - I hope she's well.
She was one of the nicest TV producers I ever met. stevmk2
