Haven't seen a thread on this, anybody else been watching it?
I keep thinking about the 3 tribesmen who nonchalantly walked up to a pride of lions, spooking them so they ran off, whilst the 3 of them calmly pinched half of their kill. Then they just walked with all the lions looking on in bewilderment! Stunning.
One of the most incredible things I think I have ever seen, takes some real bottle to do that, and I think one of the blokes was in his 60's!
That and the episode where 2 people were hunting for an Icelandic shark 800 metres under the ice, and the bird that directs 2 young kids to a bee hive, all in all it is an amazing insight to the diversity of human experience.
Innit? :-)

    I enjoyed the dad who lowered his son down the side of a cliff with a bit of old rope to steal a baby eagle. Then they trained it to catch foxes.

    Mental.

    I found it entertaining when the two fella's were talking and he said something like "my wife is angry, she has had no honey" so im imagining her to be winnie the pooh or something. Next thing he is climbing this tree the size of North Stand to steal honey comb from a bee hive, getting stung to sh*t just so he can give his wife some honey.


    Now if that was me, and im sure most other fellas in England, id be telling her to go and get her own god damn honey

    That was a bit bigger than the North Stand mate! He was above the canopy of the rainforest, if I remember correctyl, unbelievable.

    I liked the treehouse people personally

    Brilliant programme.
    the blokes in canoes hunting whales.
    the chopping down of trees so bats think its a shortcut only to fly into a massive net.
    the mongolians chasing wild horses for their milk.

    But VG - that is about a forthcoming program.
    This is about the program once aired.

    Consider that one the Pre Match PREVIEW,POLLS,VIEWS and News thread, and this one the Post match views thread.....

    the one a few weeks ago who climbed up a 200 foot tree, broke into a bees nest, full of bees, and brought the honeycomb back down for his wife and kids. Bet he was aloud to watch the football that night.

    The guys who stole the lions dinner in particular were unbelievable. Anyone who says all TV is rubbish these days should be made sit through the whole series of this and the Wonders Of the Solar System.

    Honourable mention goes the programme on Sunday nights about swapping jobs with someone else in the third world e.g driving buses in Manila, etc. Really quite moving stuff.

    The lengths that the camera crew have to go to to get some footage is astonishing too. Very good programme.
