Spy in the Wild

[silverfoxcc]

This one could come under several headings
Apart from the superb interaction between the animals and he dummies. Top brownie points fpr the way the models have been constructed
At one poiint i didnt know what was the real one animal and the camera housing They could put them in a zoo and a lot of people would be fooled
Plus it has a bit of humour esp the Gorillas and the poor bird after the elephant had trampled it

Well worth a catch up

Agreed, really enjoyed it

Blazing Saddles bit was great.

Yeah these are always a decent / amusing watch.

I remember one of the early Christmas special ones they'd done a couple of years ago. Good amusement value with "zombie penguin" where the head had been knocked off the spy cam but it was still moving around with other penguins looking at it wondering what was going on

I might be missing something but I thought it was a bit weird. Those dummies must have cost a fortune yet there was little footage shown that they'd taken, but a lot of footage of the dummies themselves.

I thought that too- most of the interesting footage was the animals interacting with the dummy rather than footage from the dummy itself. Maybe the footage has been used elsewhere and this show is just showing off the dummies?

Yeah the crap puppets get about 5 seconds of slightly off centre footage, mostly a close sniffing.
Most of the show is watching animals trying to interact with some barely functional toy before getting bored and wandering off.
