Channel 4's A Cook On The Wild Side (Series 2-1990's)

 http://www.channel4.com/programmes/a-cook-on-the-wild-side/4od

Thought I'd add this 4oD link to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's channel 4 programme from the mid 90's which sees him travelling UK waterways by boat, foraging for and cooking with wild flora and fauna. Particularly worth seeing is episode 3 where Hugh enlists the help of 3 boys to hunt for woodlouse in order to make "beignets de crevettes de bois aux champignons sauvages" or woodlouse fritters to you and me, mmmmm......
