Sandi’s Wood (Britbox, 2023; three episodes) follows well-known and much-loved BBC presenter Sandi Toksvig and her wife Debbie following their purchase of an ancient woodlot in rural England. Their dream was to restore and preserve this bit of the natural world despite their lack of any prior knowledge of the enormity of what they were undertaking. The series follows the many setbacks they faced, but the story is filled with hope and enthusiasm. It is a joy to watch the improvement as the impossible becomes possible.
