I was so disappointed

I always 'excuse' myself when I say 'oh god' or 'for god's sake' with the thought that there have been many different 'gods'. Which is rubbish of course. hmm

I hate the expression 'Jesus wept'.

I notice it but I it's no different to me as someone saying for god's sake or thank god. Which are also classed by some as blasphemy.

We're watching the second episode now. Fantastic!

We missed yesterday's so can't comment on theOP

We did not watch it but have recorded both programmes for my 6 year old GS.

I agree with Nankate. You can say anything about Christianity but goodness mention Mohammed blessings be upon him in anything but the most fulsome terms and the dear old BBC get their knickers in a twist .

Obviously I am over-sensitive about the language as neither of you noticed.

I can't say I noticed it either but it truly was amazing... I will have to watch the second part on catch up tv..

I'm glad you didn't notice it Granjura and I agree it was an excellent programme.

I am not a religious fanatic but just thought is comments had no place in a wild life programme.

It was amazing -and I certainly did not notice his 'blasphemy'. It is not a learnt script, but a true and genuine reaction to a really mind blowing situation!

I set up the Gordon Buchanan wild life programme. (Snow wolf family and me) and settled down to watch his trip to the Canadian Arctic. It was totally spoilt for me by his blasphemy. I could never watch it with my grandchildren.

To set the record straight I am not stuffy or highly religious (though I do believe) but hearing him say twice 'Christ, Jesus wept' it was so unnecessary but I suspect that if I complained to the BBC they would say it was after the watershed.

If anyone had made a comment about Mohammed the BBC would have been apologising profusely.
