Yay it's Planet Earth II day!

The bears were great :lol:

 

All too predictably, the Sun has used the programme to attack the BBC. Apparently, it contains too much violence. Clearly, for the Sun, only footage of animals popping into the local supermarket to buy their food would be acceptable.

 

Fabulous series. Attenborough is a legend and tremendous flag bearer for the natural world. Of course The Sun hates it. It has integrity and class and is produced at a fraction of the cost Murdoch's drivel and planet-destroying ambitions. His aim is to dumb down everything until he can rule the f***ing world.

 

Too much violence! His empire is BUILT on using violence to make money, the hypocrite, from his TV shows, his sensationalist headline-grabbing immoral, lying papers to his propaganda machine Fox news. It's no co-incidence that the BBC STILL rules the world of natural history.

 

Oh, and it's the BBC and overshadows Attenborough's BSKYB Galapagos series (which was pretty good despite the channel), presumably a huge dose of Sour Grapes.

Another exceptional episode, I just loved those birds of paradise, and the Tiger grabbing the Cayman Crocodile. Deserts looked pretty good for next week.

The glowing worms were just nuts, if I'd come across them I would have thought I had found extraterrestrial life!

An excellent series continues. We were glad the Capybara managed to escape the Jaguar.

Just caught up with the second episode. BobCat Fail + the bears rubbing themselves are two of my TV highlights of 2016 :rofl:

Spider monkeys (particularly the baby one) :heart:

 

Also the glowing worms were so fascinating!

This series has been amazing 4 episodes gone already, the highlight of this episode was the locust swarm amazing photography from the camera team and facing nightmares to endear. Also filming in those hot temperatures must have been very hard work to put this episode together.

Deserts are t as interesting as other areas but the beetles going up to the top of the sand dune to get moisture from the fog was amazing!

Have finally finished watching the first episode of this - but the quality of the shots is breathtaking. I need to find the time to properly catch up on these, I've learned so many things about animals like those racer snakes

Forgot last Sunday but it's repeated this afternoon at 4.20. Clashes with XF results on Sunday evenings.

Very tempted to order the Planet Earth/Planet Earth II double DVD boxset. DECISIONS.

Just watched the city episode and it was astonishing, incredibly interesting. I'm going to really miss this show, it is by far the best thing on all week.

Those monkeys were great :) I really want to go to Jaipur one day and see them

Absolutely gutted that this is over :(

Just watched the last episode, I've downloaded each episode so I can lush all over them again over Xmas, the last episode was stunning especially in Singapore with those trees, so amazing.

Amazing closer and so gutted that it's over, arguably the best episode of the series as they hadn't covered this part of the world before and it was amazing to know how much wildlife can be found in the cities (even if those baby turtles was a bit of a :( moment).

 

I will miss this so much, best TV series I've seen all year easily and I love how popular it's been, especially with it beating the X Factor final and being more popular with younger people aged 16-34 that it is, really shows the messages are truly getting through to us.

Oh those turtles were indeed a :( moment. I can't believe nobody has done anything to help them, it's so irresponsible.

 

I don't think I could even live anywhere with so many squashed baby animals on the roads. :/

Just watched the city episode and it was astonishing, incredibly interesting. I'm going to really miss this show, it is by far the best thing on all week.

Brilliant all round - the grasslands episode was my favourite.
