Autumnwatch New England, 8pm, BBC2
The Watch Team swap the UK for the US in this four-part Autumnwatch special, broadcast live from New Hampshire on the Northeast coast of America. It has all the ingredients for a fantastic Fall, from the six billion trees that create a colour sensation visible from space, to bears, moose and bobcats. Presenters Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan are live from a log cabin in the Squam Lake area, while co-presenter Gillian Burke goes further afield to get closer to the region’s nocturnal mammals, woodpeckers and bald eagles. As always, expect the unexpected from the network of hidden cameras. Rating: *****
