Anybody watch this after Top Gear last night? I really enjoyed it.

Something bugs me about Ben Fogle but I quite like a lot of what he does and he's certainly got some testicular fortitude. An extraordinary programme, mainly because crocs are so obviously several rungs above us on the food chain and yet these nutters were sploshing about with them with a slightly dubious scientific justification.

It's a two part show with the fairly placid African crocs last night. It's the Australian monsters next week...

I thought it was brilliant!

Ben Fogel certainly has the stones. I spent Sunday diving and the pike in our training lake give me the heebees. I wouldn't get in with crocks unless I was in a cage!

Anything diving related gets a thumbs up from me... but Monty Halls is the daddy when it comes to underwater documentaries.

'Ben Fogle goes swimming with crocodiles and after a while realises it's quite dangerous'.

A nice inoffensive bloke but has the awareness of a child.
