The 'Hood: When Nature Calls/I.B.F.Fs: Forest Friends

That day is here! And ABC Kids is airing new episodes of Bluey over in Australia, starting with 'Grandad', or 'When Nature Calls' as I call it. I won't be doing the episode today because I'm taking time off Saturdays and Sundays, but I'll bring you the gang and Snickers' island adventures sometime soon.

In other news, last night I got so obsessed by the human evolution-related episodes of Walking With Beasts and Walking With Cavemen (anyone thinking about Flat Pack, or Walking With Bluey?), that all of a sudden this idea for a new I.B.F.Fs TV film popped into my head: I.B.F.Fs: Forest Friends. Inspired by various human evolution documentaries such as Walking With Cavemen and CuriosityStream's 'First Man', Channel 5's children's dramas 'The Tribe' and 'The New Tomorrow' and Where The Wild Things Are, this film tells our imaginative adventures as a tribe of kids who live without rules or boundaries in the forest, playing and learning to survive and live with one another amongst the comfort, friendship, love and softness of nature. It'll be just like The Eagle's Nest, except my imaginative younger self is narrating, all of us are involved and the music is provided by rainforest band Baka Beyond. I'll be doing it someday, so keep your wild hearts and eyes out for it!

While you're waiting, you can enjoy some soothing nature-themed activities to get you back to the source, because I love nature as much as you:

  1. Those links were awesome, I would build a den for spies. It's a pity new episodes of Bluey aren't airing here in the UK.
