Superb ..............though the idiot tv reviewer in the metro claimed it to be horrifying & who wants to watch penguins getting their heads ripped off (they didn't) or Bison being pursued & ripped apart by wolves ? Again we didn't see that although that is what happens in nature I'm afraid. Had to laugh (sorry) when the herd stampeded & the wolves attacked a lone bison & it was fighting to keep standing while another bison was running full pelt with his head down & just butted the one being atttacked to the ground...end of !

There was something blackly amusing about that bit, wasnt there? The fact that the wolves had picked out this lone bison, and about 3 ran straight past that could have helped it out, and then that last one condemned it to death. In all honesty, I thought parts of it were a little upsetting though, like when the seal was being chased by the whales. Although I was watching it with my pregnant wife, and she was getting really upset by those parts.
I threatened to leave Virgin and got the HD for less than I was paying without HD as a result - I'm on what they call a loyal customer tariff because I threatened to leave them - I don't know what they call the mugs (like I was) paying significantly over the odds (and more than I do) every month- If I am a loyal customer they must be the most loyal customers in the world..
its all wazz - threaten to leave sky for virgin or vica versa, take them right to the brink with it and they'll cave in and give u virtually anything you want. widescreem, 3d, hd, its all guff.
i don't have HD and was actually thinking to myself how much better can it be because the picture was fantastic. I'm very wary of all these advances. What next? Super HD?
Super HD is being adopted by all the major film camera makers in the world. Film cameras will one day cease to exist.
Wonder if that wolf actually survived it`s injuries? I know it was the victor initially but it did take a good hiding from the bison who just couldn`t carry on because it was knackered in the end and had lost blood.
Watched the Bison V Wolf fight with my 8 year old son last night and he was fascinated by it. Strangely he was on the the side of the wolf. Brilliant programme .
Still got last week's episode to watch and then the final one tomorrow night I think. It's been a stunning series so far. Even the wife's been watching it and she normally has the attention span of a concussed duckling.
Wish Attenborough was still the Director General at the BBC. Might get some more decent programmes and less John Barrowman.

You can have all the TV stations you want but none beat the Beeb when it comes to wildlife.
I loved the scene when the male emperor penguin didnt want to hand over the chick when the missus came back from her lunch!!
