[agricola]

[moose]

I am transported to tv heaven. I love that man - so pleased he got to see the pygmy chameleon after 47 years!

 

[DexterTCN]

Not on the BBC HD channel, I notice.

Liked the wrestling frogs.

Quote I found

Thanks very much for your interest in BBC HD and the natural history series Life in Cold Blood. Production on this show began a few years back before the BBC started broadcasting in HD and therefore it was not shot in HD.
Because we hold to strict guidelines for broadcasting in HD, we will not be up converting this programme nor will it be showing on BBC HD. You will be pleased to know however that the bulk of our upcoming natural history programmes is made in HD and will be shown on BBC HD

LOVED this tonight!! Can't wait to see the rest of it
DA is indeed amazingly fabulous and 82!!

LOVE his work, all of it.

 

[spanglechick]

we loved this.

I particularly loved:

the tiny turtles getting all icicled
the fact that chameleons seem to wear mittens
baby alligator noises
turtles stroking each other's faces in courtship
curly spiral chameleon tails.

 

[Santino]

I liked that fact that those lizards had worked out how to eat that plant, and then TOLD ALL THEIR FRIENDS.

Yep, I think that was my favourite bit.

Snake swallowing deer: speechless! Never seen a snake swallow anything that big before

We have 'Blue Planet' on DVD and it gets put on regularly - it's particularly lovely when accompanied by the 'Bola-Soup' cd and some drugs

 

[May Kasahara]

I want an armadillo lizard. They're so cute when they curl up and bite their own tails!

 

[g force]

I loved it...like every BBC series Attenborough does I wonder how he's going to amaze me...and approx 2 mins in my jaw is already on the floor. This is the sort of shitI happily pay the licence fee for. Inspiring and beautiful.

But I do wonder what's going to happen when David hangs up the khakis.

me too

And the snake/deer combo - Quality!! Urgh - the windpipe!!

 

[chazegee]

How many researchers must that show have working on it.

 

[youareagoat]

Ah bugger i missed it. Does anybody know if it will be repeated?

 

[Gingerman]

Attenborough's a Prince among men one of those people who'll be irreplaceable when he doe's eventually pop his clogs like John Peel,I bet the BBC will replace him with some photogenic Himbo/Bimbo

 

[Biddlybee]

I am transported to tv heaven. I love that man - so pleased he got to see the pygmy chameleon after 47 years!

That was a very cool moment... and you could see how excited he was

One thing did confuse me though... he said the seawater croc was the biggest reptile, then he said the leatherback turtle was the biggest. Did I mishear?

I'm voting for Michaela Strachan!!!

 

[May Kasahara]

It will probably be bloody Titchmarsh

 

[sojourner]

I'm voting for Michaela Strachan!!!

Down with Bambi!

 

[girasol]

Down with Bambi!

She's been doing this for years, so lots of experience, she's very likeable and has won a few awards. Time for a woman to do the best job in the world!

 

[The Groke]

Bah - I can't find a torrent of this anywhere yet.




C'mon you lot sort it out - I wanna see too!

 

[sojourner]

She isn't likeable - she's irritating. AND she's part-deer

 

[girasol]

[kyser_soze]

her voice grates so badly.

 

[bodach]

She could do it.

 

[sojourner]

She could do it.

Ooo yes! She could deffo do it - I like her. She's fully human too
