Paul,

The fact that you have so many good clips means that you have a massive head 
start.  You can use these to show a few production companies and see if they 
are interested.
I imagine it would be like a writer having loads of published articles 
approaching a big publisher.  He will get taken far more seriously that a 
newbie writer.

A good place to start is looking at the credits of similar shows such as 
maybe Les Stroud. Bear Grylls, Ray Mears etc.

Has america done a version of River Cottage yet like they have in Oz, NZ and 
a bunch of other countries?

Chris
