Synopsis: In Britain we’re blessed with four distinct seasons. Each has its own character, its own charms, idiosyncrasies, and beauties. The sights, pleasures and tastes we associate with each season are always worth waiting for. That’s what makes the seasons so important to life on these islands.

This series, presented by Alan Titchmarsh, aims to reconnect us to the seasons, and show us just how influential they still are on every living thing in Britain, and how they affect our mood and behaviour. The Seasons investigates the crucial influence of such basic factors as fluctuating light levels and changes in temperature, and how they transform our flora and fauna.

We see some of the most breath-taking, spectacular images that nature gives us in Britain: starlings swarming above Brighton Pier; the beauty of the blackthorn blossom; the fearsome autumn deer rut; sheep on the freezing Yorkshire Dales in winter; and the intricate and lovely mating rituals of our birds; the dance of the adders; ‘Mad March Hares’ boxing and the extraordinary sub-aquatic sight of toads wrestling to win a mate.
  
Produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for ITV, this series explores our ancient seasonal festivals: many of which are still celebrated today such as May Day, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas and Hogmanay. The Seasons also takes a look at traditional seasonal activities, from ice-skating on the Fens to boating on the Thames.
