Hi Kathy
I have watched the first 2 with interest and am looking forward to the last one tonight.
According to the Radio Times, Hope is back with her mum, Lily. :-)
Best wishes Chris

hi Chris
That is good to know.
Wonder what the magic trick was to get mother and daughter together again?
What a brilliant programme , so natural as Gordon gently helps what is a rare occurrence in a bear having the one cub it seems, and then due to that Lily goes to seek a mate again . it is because of this rareity that they make the decision to help Hope , but at all times they allow the bears to remain detached in their true wildlife mannerisms . It must be so very diificult to not attach with our human hearts , but I really admire the whole teams honour of the ways and the spirit of the Bears . Wonderful filming Gordons usual expertise with a touch of emotion this time but detached emotion .

We have been watching and reading the bear site since before Hope was born, but we have still enjoyed watching this programme, even though we have always known 'What happens next'. You will enjoy tonight.
I certainly won't be missing it Brenda. Too good to miss!

Seriously thinking about trying harder!

Hi Graham,
From what I saw, I don't think that's what will happen. Did you notice what happened when Gordon and his family saw Hope in the woods (Part 2) ? She ran away because there were 3 people she wasn't familiar with.
Cheers,
Hi Brenda
I see that there is a camcorder website to do with the bears activities, and it is well worth a look at to see the bears doing what comes naturally
Watch Lily in her den now at http://www.bear.org/livecams/lily-hope-cam.html
It is nice to keep an eye on our favourite wildlife and maybe this programme will give us thoughts about keeping up with the family of bears noted on the programme for our own interest in the future.
I cannot wait until tonight's programme now
