Meet the Bears A BBC World Nature production narrated by none other than Hugh Bonneville, Mr Henry Brown of
Paddington fame, this hour-long look at the state of bears in our current world was what I needed to see this week. Take note, parents: this documentary could help with any number of future school projects, and (welcome spoiler) nothing dies. Filming all eight species of bear in the world, we vicariously live life as a bear, from curious cub to stroppy adolescent, right through to fully grown and wanting to start families of our own. The footage is gorgeous, hilarious, and, at times, thought-provoking.
