Packham's progress

摘要

Aphoto taken around 1986 shows the original line-up of the ground-breaking children's natural-history programme The Really Wild Show. There's Terry Nutkins looking avuncular and reassuring, Nicola Davies resembling an eccentric aunt and, of course, the young Chris Packham. Nutkins and Davies are smiling affably at the camera, but Packham glowers under his peroxide blond quiff, arms folded, seemingly keeping the world, or at least the people in it, at bay.
