They're trying to get their faces on TV. I was looking forward to this prog too but its frankly terribly made. It feels like I'm a celebrity. Without the celebrities.

It is a bit reality tv, isn't it?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

How selfish of them to save that bat! selfish bastards!

 

[strung out]

was that a farting badger?

 

[cybertect]

When do they discover the lost dinosaur world?

 

[cybertect]

And where is Doug McClure?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

rats bigger than cats

 

[gabi]

Yep. It wouldn't make the cut on channel five. Terrible. Laughably so tho

[cybertect]

Couscous?

[Orang Utan]

[TrippyLondoner]

Only the 1st part of 3, this btw.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

[gabi]

Couscous?

[Orang Utan]

I was being facetious. But. He does have a certain similarity... Would you not agree?

I was expecting something along the lines of a attenborough nature doco. Instead we get a dodgy channel 5 reality tv show. Go figure.

nothing like it at all!

cuss cuss! very different pronunciation!
if david attenborough was presenting this, we'd not have all this facetiousness.
they need to show more animals

I'm sure they will do in the next episodes.

can we just get rid of the guys in the red waterproofs?

 

[gabi]

Fucking hell. That was the worst thing i've ever seen on prime time bbc1. WHAT THE FUCK! I hate the phrase 'dumbing down' but.. hmm....

And that will complete my bitching for the evening

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

that stick insect was enormous!

I loved that stick insect.

Plenty of room for serious documentaries and fly on the wall things like tonight. I enjoyed it.

Well - I wouldn't have minded more time spent on the animals. A cameraman had more time on screen than any single weird little creature. Which was weird.

Obviously an editorial decision, one I don't agree with but fair enough if others do. Just seemed a bit low-brow for bbc1. I know that sounds snobby, but they've set the bar high in the past - they seem to have missed it by a mile there. Whatever tho

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Really enjoyed that, its good to learn about new species no ones heard of. Dunno about others but i enjoy learning this stuff.

 

[twistedAM]

I'm watching Jamie's American Road Trip on C4+1 and despite the presence of Mr Oliver, it's better.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm hoping they'll show a lot more next week, especially of the beautiful birds
