Had to turn it off as not suitable for our 8 year old despite being on at 6pm
Really, how long do you shelter a kid about the food chain. Just send them out with a rifle down to the farm and tell them to make their own chicken nuggets. fks sake. 8 year olds are allowed to be sheltered, they are eight. Kids don't HAVE to be exposed to the brutalized world so soon. Let them be kids. I get that.
I'm an adult and I felt bad for the albatrosses lol.
The Albatross scene was bizarre, crazy to think there is no recognition unless the chick is actually sat on the nest.

The albatross not recognising it's chick because it's not on its nest was bizarre. All that beak touching to bond and then nothing.
You'd think that's something evolution would've phased out for the survival of the species.
Maybe it is, when we anthropomorphise less we'd perhaps see that it weeds out those unable to either stay or get back in...?You'd think that's something evolution would've phased out for the survival of the species.

Great images as usual, but inevitably peppered with the climate change woes that are imbued into every programme now it seems. Do the BBC think there are still wild-life programme watchers that aren't already concerned/aware?
Before it started I said to the OH you do wonder if there is anything else to show which hasn't been done before. A lot of it (especially the seal/penguin bit) had been done before.
It must have been hard for the camera crew to not put the chick back on the nest, but I remember on the last series they did help the penguins out.

A very good programme. But I won't be posting any praise of Sir David Attenborough or the programme on the social media. It'll provoke the usual reaction. -
"But Greta Thunberg is better than him. She knows more about it, having researched it. You are a racist and a gammon."
I rather suspect that Attenborough has forgotten many times more stuff than Thunberg has ever known. By dint of being around nearly 5 times longer than she has. And as far as I can tell, Attenborough isn't being used as a political puppet either."But Greta Thunberg is better than him. She knows more about it, having researched it. You are a racist and a gammon."

That was a pretty heavy episode. The walrus bit was genuinely quite shocking and I've watched hundreds of wildlife series and don't ever really feel that way.
And I remember being fascinated as a child by the Sumatran and Javan rhinos in my encyclopedia of animals. I've never seen footage of one before so that was amazing but it's dreadful to think that they were rare when I first read about them 30+ years ago yet there were still individual populations of up to 500 at that point.....now they're basically gone.

Just watched episode 1 in 4k HDR on the iPlayer.Incredible picture quality and detail,could almost be mistaken for CGI.
I was thinking how do they get all this close up footage and then they show you at the end.Amazing how close the animals let the cameramen get to them.Obviously using drones too.
Great programme,shame it was half wildlife documentary and half extinction rebellion propoganda film

Even the missus was impressed with the 4K stream which takes some doing. Stunning. Agree with your summary, but the message needs to be heard.I was thinking how do they get all this close up footage and then they show you at the end.Amazing how close the animals let the cameramen get to them.Obviously using drones too.

I don't compare David Attenborough talking about what he's devoted his life to and concerns for the future, with ER bandwagon jumpers/troublemakers.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
