Chris Packham is set to reunite with his co-star Michaela Strachan for an epic The Really Wild Show reboot.
The telly naturalist is planning a reunion with his presenter pal for a revival of the classic kids’ favourite CBBC show.
“There is an appetite for some form of Really Wild Show reunion,” he told the Daily Star.
“It remains something Michaela and I are passionate about – and the BBC are keen. It’s been batted backwards and forwards but for the moment the programmes we’re able to make are limited.”
The popular programme, which ran between 1986 and 2006, educated young people on the importance of nature.

But the show’s reboot may be a while off yet as lockdown rules mean that South Africa-based Michaela can’t currently travel to the UK – so it could be some time before we see the duo reunite on our screens.
Due to the travel restrictions, Michaela is also missing new series of Winterwatch, which kicks off tomorrow.
“We’re hoping by Springwatch the regulations allow Michaela to travel,” Chris explained.
His own work has suffered due to coronavirus travel bans too.

“There are a lot of things I would have been working on last year, now and the forthcoming spring we haven’t been able to do because we haven’t been able to travel around the UK,” he said.
The Really Wild Show series last aired way back in 2006, but fans did get a teaser of their favourite presenters as they joined forces in 2017 for an exciting one-off special.
The duo were trying to raise awareness for the endangered kiwi bird, which is in desperate need of saving.
