      I think you have just missed it on the iPlayer. The webpage is here BBC Four - Survivors: Nature's Indestructible Creatures

      A varied diet obviously requires extra intelligence :)

      In the San Diego Zoo children's zoo they have (or had) an echidna out that is active during the day and can actually be petted by visitors.
