Did anyone else just shout hooray? Serengetti BBC1 now.

Yes. Me!!

That poor little foal has been through so many scrapes I don't think my nerves can stand any more.

Couldn't believe it last week when he staggered across a crocodile's head trying to get to the bank and the croc was so surprised it didn't do anything.

I just knew you'd be watching it merlot!

I worry about the young elephant too. Been turned away from the family. All on his own now.

I adore this program, totally enthralled by every episode.

Aaah! He's got a friend at last.

Peggy is watching it over my shoulder.

I just love this programme

Poor Khali

Baktari saved the baby. My hero. Sigh!

It is very good .

Did all that fire really start with one tree being struck by lightning? Or is the Beeb cheating again?

Your little dog looks very comfy merlot.

DH said the same, Gonegirl. It was all a bit Disney.

Just watched it too. Love it! Khali is so beautiful. My OH wouldn't believe that fire was real. I think it was. What does everyone else think?

They got into trouble for faking it before. polar bears

Computer graphics? Stock footage? All combined.

They don't learn do they?

I can't watch programmes like this.

Why? They went to a blank screen for the killing this time.

There's some information on the filming, here

this has been a wonderful series. However, do wonder if we are really watching the same animals they have named all the time. When the young Zebra foal was floundering in themud it was totally covered in the mud, when it finally got out and up the bank, the mud was only on its legs.
However, I am totally in awe of this filming, and do not really care if they have edited bits together to try to keep to story lines.
Just wonder how these animals continue to live in such surroundings, should imagine that the life span is not great for any of them, except perhaps the large elephant females.

Interesting link merlotgran. So it has been pieced together. (Yes. Slightly Disney) There was definitely a drone involved too. I saw it's shadow!

Love it anyway.

Yup! My type of programme. Real life...can't beat it.

F**k off, you big bottomed baboon!

Nice one, Bakari.

I really don't like Serengeti. Although I'm ok with watching nature programmes where animals have to kill other animals to survive, I find the way Serengeti is edited unpleasant to watch.
