neilnunb Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 David the chimp. What a man! Left for dead after some upstarts try and overthrow him, decides noone gets his women, comes back and shows them the real boss. ? Looks like another great Attenborough series ❤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyowalnut Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That was awesome. When David got himself moving and eating everything in sight, it was like a Rocky training montage! Incredible animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Good show but I've watched a more hard hitting docu about chimps on channel 4 years ago. It was more about the darker side. Cannibalism, killing the young from other troops etc....real eye opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling someone about that, they thought I was on the wind up. Chimps are smart, funny and crazy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie's Boyfriend Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Episode 1 was dire in my opinion, lost interest early on ,DA and the BBC can now tell what animals are thinking etc , not seen the Penguin episode yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Tremendous. The impact you feel when those lions are poisoned shows how well it has been done. We really are a cancer on this planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamhammer Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I can't watch these programmes. I hate seeing animals suffer. Lions eating antelopes, hawks catching pigeons etc. Big soft tart that I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Latest one definitely the best episode yet. Definitely the saddest too. Amazing stuff nobody does these like the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticJambo Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 There are a couple of unpleasant scenes but the sadness bit, for me anyway, is an inevitable story of loyalty. It's definitely worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of folk dislike the BBC, but I watch l'm watching loads of documentaries, drama, comedy (although there is a significant pile rubbish), on iPlayer. I think the licence fee is well worth it. Well apart from screwing us with what MoTD pays English football, and what we get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Berwick Jambo Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Amazing as usual from Attenborough & the BBC. I just watched all of this series over the weekend including next weeks one on the Tigers, fantastic stuff. Now that I am 48 he has been the voice of every single decent nature program I have ever watched since I was a small kid. His voice is so distinctive that I can’t imagine them being the same without him when he stops working eventually, he is 92 now.
