Seven Worlds, One Planet

[Mozz71]

Great television last night, and Sir David back to his imperious best. The penguin chick playing with the fluff was fantastic.

Although I have to admit, every time he mentioned climate change, I pictured another ABer shouting abuse at the TV and switching over to a different channel.

Anyone else enjoy?

[Lie-in King]

I thoroughly enjoyed it & was very happy it was available in UHD - stunning :-)

[Ken4155]

Yes, Mozz, thoroughly enjoyed it. Found the piece on the penguin trying to escape being dinner a lot more tense and exciting than any car chase i've ever seen.

[Tilly2]

...what about the Albatros? Did that upset you?

[Calibax]

Yes, brilliant programme. Stunning photography and informative commentary.

[Mamyalynne]

It was truly excellent, the scenes under the ocean were amazing even if they were at high speed - stunning.

The Albatross was so hard to watch, evolution seems to have skipped something there.

[Tilly2]

I haven't watched it yet. I have read about the albatross today in the news. It's put me off watching the programme. I'm such a cry baby.

[Bobbisox1]

The programme was fantastic ,none better

[Barsel]

What happened to the Albatross did it get killed? I never watch these programmes as I can't stand to watch animals kill each other. Big cats are my favourite wild animal but because I know they kill anything that moves really, I won't watch them.

[Mamyalynne]

Nothing wrong with those kind of tears Tilly. I would urge you to watch though.x

[Mozz71]

The albatross had a good ending though. All ended well unless I missed something.

[cashier]

Watch it Tilly. You'll be really rooting for the albatross chick, even if you do know what happens. It was sad watching it's struggle and I was praying for it to make it.

[woofgang]

I know that animals struggle and die, I know that they eat each other, I just find no uplift or entertainment in watching it

[Mamyalynne]

It ended well for the chick we saw struggle to be recognised but not so for many around it.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, my reply was to Mozz.

[JimF]

I'm guessing you didn't really mean "imperious":

[Mozz71]

My mistake Jim. I thought it simply meant "commanding"!

[AuntPollyGrey]

woofgang: well said, I'm with you on that one, Awful thing happen in nature but I choose not to watch programmes that make entertainment out of watching something get eaten alive. It makes me physically sick. I think David Attenborough is over -rated really. Nice chap though.

[follyfancier]

why have we got SEVEN continents now?
there were only five when I was at school

[JimF]

They've been there for quite a while:

Europe
Africa
Asia
Antarctica
North America
South America
Oceania

The whole world seems more in continent.
