That was amazing as usual.
The racer snakes were bloody scary to watch! I think I shouted 'YES!' Quite loudly when that last little guy made his escape. Proper edge of the seat stuff!

I avoided it because there's usually a heap of doom and gloom about how humanity is destroying everything etc etc, rather than just focusing on the wildlife.
Was there much of that this time?
Not really, just mention of the Ants we introduced to Christmas Island which were being nasty to the local crab population.Was there much of that this time?
You should watch it, I still can't believe the snake segment, it's an absolute must see.

Snakes need lunch too.
Yup, if the were making a documentary about the travails of trying to survive in a harsh environment as a racer snake, we'd all have been gutted when the pesky iguana got away!Apparently, (according to the MailOnline), they had loads of footage of returning penguins with broken legs, wings missing, smashed beaks, and in various stages of slow painful death, that they thought the British public just couldn't take. And they were probably right.

In the "diaries" segment at the end of the episode, they did show some blood and also a penguin clearly in distress with a broken leg. But, yes, you are undoubtedly right. TwigtheWonderkid said:

Interestingly stuff shown on uk TV around wildlife tends to be a bit softer than animal planet or nat geo - they pretty mush show everything, lion kills, alligator kills, blood, guts, gore the lot...
