So did anyone catch it on the Beeb. Incredible footage as always. The footage of the flying fish was incredible.

Ah crap, forgot about this. Was busy killing Nazi Zombies on World at War.
iPlayer it is then
BBC iPlayer link for those who are in the UK or have found a way to deceive the BBC and rip off us licence-fee payers...twats
Fantastic as always from the BBC.
Especially after the way the graphic in the opening credits starts. Yes I did
They are without a doubt the number 1 nature documentary makers. Everyone else is in their wake.
Yeah it was absolutely brilliant... cant wait til next weeks
Fecking missed it. Livid.

It's also available in hd on iplayer.
google bbc hd in fact sod it here ya go BBC iPlayer - BBC HD - All programmes - Page 1
The grebes' dancing and walking on water was unbelievable.
The fact that seal survived was unbelievable.
Yeah the one time I was sick I don't have HD.
It amazes me how anyone can watch a program like that and not accept the theory of evolution. Sort of makes me agree with Dawkins that creationists are generally just ignorant to anything that doesn't support their theory.
Anyway, that's another thread, great show.

My jaw genuinely dropped when I saw those flying fish, i'd never seen anything like that before!
Your right about it belonging in a different thread. I'm an evolutionist but Dawkins is a dick as well. Any way, what gets me is we can watch programs like that then allow countries like Japan, Iceland, Norway, etc to carry on murdering the planets whales and Dolphins. All for somethng that is really just a delicacy. Were not taking Inuits that relied on the whales for survival. How any of them can argue that they should just be treated like fish is beyond me.
Also when i watch programs like Life, Planet Earth, The Blue Planet etc. The concepts of man in general, politics, war and so on, starts to look so silly, petty and insignificant. I'm about to donate some more money to greenpeace now.
Dawkins is an arse but he might have a point about the ignorance.
Yeah man is very rapped up in man when in reality we're just a blip in great scheme of things.

They had nature's greatest events last year which was pretty good but i think this is better. Next week's show is about reptiles apparently
I disagree completely, there's not much difference between eating a whale or a fish or a cow.

Yeah I must admit I though they'd be flipping off the top of a wave and going about 5/10 m max not 200.
Yes there is. We farm cows, we can farm fish, whales show higher levels of thinking than both. Killer whales and dolphins especially.
Not to mention that cows are a long fecking way short of being an endangered species and man is proactively altering the global landscape to faciliate the breeding of more and more cows, whilst simultaneously fecking up the oceans in such a way that the population of whales is being decimated.
I do have a lot of concerns about eating some species of fish, as it happens, but I'm not bothered in the slightest about chowing down on cow.

I personally believe we should have a ban on industrial fishing for 5 years. Just as we did during world war 2, the fish stocks quickly recovered, that they were considered a boom time for the fishing industry. Then we shpuld look at ways to actively farm fish. All sea Mammals though should be fully protected and bans around the world should be introduced.
Just saw last week's episode, not as good as the first one but it still had some great scenes. The komodo dragons attacking the buffalo was fascinating but so cruel at the same time.
We're on again tonight at 9pm BBC1.
Will never tire of watching Cheetah hunt. We're on again BBC1.
Anyone watching tonight's episode?
Just seen thousands of starfish and massive, metre long worms slowly consuming the corpse of a seal, in the antartic, using time lapse photography, in glorious HD.
Mental.

Watching the first episode now, the detail and some of the stuff they capture on film is incredible.
It's truly an incredible series
It's brilliant
Watching the latest one on iplayer.
Great stuff from the BBC. Love the deep sea and insects ones, so bizarre that you'd think they're from another planet.

I've still only watched the first two, I think. I'm seemingly building up to a monstrously beautiful marathon. Can't wait for the birds episode.
For some reason Discovery Channel has decided to dub Sir David Attenborough's voice with... Oprah.
Oprah fecking Winfrey.
The series is ruined.
