A Year in the Life of Wood Ants 16
Ant writes "This is a radio series perhaps unlike anything you have listened to before! Recorded over a year, the series charts the fascinating and bizarre lives of two colonies of wood ants; one in a pine forest and the other in a deciduous woodland in Northumberland (UK). Using specially designed microphones, we eavesdrop on the private and noisy activities of the ants; we join the soldiers, workers, nurses and guards within nests, following them as they march through the forest on a highway of ant trails, and we are with them when the nest is attacked by badgers, damaged by mountain bikes, and threatened by tree harvesters, dogs, ferocious storms and predatory birds. The series has computer voice effects like you hear in Star Trek (i.e., "Enemy ants defeated.", "Harvester approaching.")"

The "computer voice" actually takes away from the documentary, in my opinion.

The voice ruins it. I heard it on the radio a week or two ago, and that ridiculous voice compelled me switch it off. It's as if the programme came under the influence of a children's television producer from the 80s.

I can see the transcript now:
"Protect the queen!"
"Which one's the queen?"
"I'm the queen!"
"No you're not!"
"Freedom, horrible horrible freedom!!!!"
