Wild Down Under
Hi, I noticed you started to add episode summaries to Wild Down Under. I've been meaning to do this myself so thanks for starting the ball rolling. In fact I've been re-watching the series and writing my own summaries over the last week or so - a complete coincidence - so I've taken the liberty of expanding the article myself. See what you think and revise further if you want. Note that I put a self-imposed word limit of 250 words to describe each programme otherwise things can get a bit long-winded.
