Title: David Attenborough
Post by: RSJK on November 24, 2005, 11:41:34
Well who watched his new nature programme last night, brilliant just brilliant I thought.  Why can't the BBC keep to what it used to be good at and make more programmes like this. Makes you realise how much technology as advanced over the last 30 or so years when you see such things like the TV cameras they use nowadays.

Oh pap... I missed it. Out doing a supermarket sweep, of all the most boring things in the world to be doing.

Absolutely marvellous programme. I agree with the comment up there ^^^ Programmes like these are worth the license fee on their own.

The missus and I curled up on the couch and sat entranced throughout. The patience and craftsmanship involved in making this is incredible. The only downside is, I will feel a tad guilty picking up slugs and chucking them into the spinney after watching their...umm balletic courtship.

I'll definately be buying the DVD.

Yep, another magnificent programme from David Attenborough - although I hope I never meet that bat-eating centipede! :o :o

Cheers,
Rob ;)

saw bits of it. Am a huge Grand Designs addict so for once we were actually spoilt for choice and had to flick between the two (would never get round to watching either if we taped them). The photography was amazing wasn't it! I love that they tell you how it was done too  ;D

Programmes like that make your licence fee bit more bearable.  There is so much s h * t on telly nowadays its just not worth bothering about.  The BBC is excellent at producing Wildlife programmes and David Attenborough is just the 'best'.
