Hi Iffy
It was one that I was wanting to watch and missed it.
I will have a look on the Iplayer.
I always took you to be shy though.:D

i thought when he was talking about laying your brother off and reducing costs and then on the other hand hiring a private plane to transport 2 moose which would have cost thousands was a bit silly.
i cant see him ever getting away with putting bear and wolf in the enclosure though.

When I watched it I was like...that digger driver sounds like a right wicker! I thought he was good in it. Does he still have his job then?

Hi emszrx and Sarah

Yes my brother still works for The Alladale Estate and is still thoroughly enjoying it. You were right, emszrx, no one can understand Paul Listers reasoning when it comes to his loyal staff and bringing in wild animals that are obviously going to cost him a fortune - mind you, considering his family comes with the huge money that came from the company MFI, then he can just do as he pleases ????

Scenery was spectacular as was expected in Gods own country...the staff around Mr Lister came across as warm, friendly and down to earth, a great team....but Paul Lister himself...........I would not leave this man in charge of a jar full of midgies. For his plan to succeed he will need an army of experienced animal keepers and him well out of the way as he came across as being afraid of animals......his reactions to the wolves basically said he should never had been allowed in with them in the first place....
He gets a thumbs down from me.......:eek:
