John Bishop and the Great Whale Rescue

John Bishop has quite a menagerie at home - he and his wife are great champions of animals. And yes, he is a genuinely nice family guy; he was best man at my sister's wedding before he was famous and he has remained a very loyal friend.

Thank you shysal we watched it tonight, a lovely programme. I would never have expected John Bishop to be offered a programme like that but he was marvellous, so genuine.

A heartwarming programme. Recently, I have not been watching nature programs because I feel I am helpless and guilty with what is happening in the natural world.
Thank you Mr Bishop.

He does come across as being very sincere in his love for all animals. Yes, a lovely man and a great programme

We would have missed this without the reviews on here.Just watched both episodes and what a lovely man John Bishop is.And his live for animals shines through,Wonderful.

Brilliant heartwarming programmes, restored my faith in humans!

There was a pod of bottle nosed whales in a local loch for the past couple of weeks.A huge number of volunteers over a number of days attempted to move them out as the annual "War games" were due with many ships and submarines.I did suggest the "war games " be cancelled until the whales left ..alas it didn't happen .The volunteers managed to move two out of the loch but two adults and an elderly whale managed to eveade the efforts.It seems the old whale was dying and the younger ones stay with the older ones in these circumstances .I haven't had an update on their condition now the ships are leaving again.
War games? Who needs boats and guns when the nuclear facility is sited there ? I still believe the whales should have been left in peace .I hope the outcome for these lovely creatures is good .

Yes, a really great programme and what a result for the two whales. They must be really enjoying their new territory.

It was really lovely.

What a lovely programme. I recorded it, as I wasn't sure if DH would be as keen as me.
We both watched Pt 1 yesterday, and will watch Pt 2 tonight.

Esspee, it was on ITV on Monday and Tuesday this week.

I loved it. I recorded both programmes and watched yesterday just before bedtime. I couldn't drag myself away from it, so had a late night and dreams of whales!

Where can you see it?

Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed the two programmes. The whales seemed to be very intelligent.

He really cared about the welfare of Little White and Little Grey, such a nice man.

I thought he might be hovering around and commenting as so many celebrities might do, but no, he was part of the team and really involved.

It was fabulous wasn't it, made me cry.

We've recorded the second part but the first part was excellent.

What a lovely man he seems to be.
