channel 4

great canal journeys

caledonia canal

hopefully he wont threaten to shoot brexiteers tonight.

The last series was brilliant. Here's hoping for more of the same.

Komodo Dragons.....stunning !

teeth sharp as razors, but cant cut into the tail of a komodo

Iguanas.

Ugly bastards

Run ffs

Cant beat a bit of Mauro Picotto

he has stepped into the wrong parish

1.01 busted there

Penguins have it tough !

Truely  staggering images . Incredible camerawork.

looks cgi too me

Wrong.

i hope i am

Carnage

There's real wildlife out there. Nature beats anything that humans can artificially manufacture

It;s what the bbc does best.

Zavodovski Island, where the penguins are, had an eruption in March 2016, covered near half the island (Wiki)

Agreed.

That was awesome.

I know it's daft but me and my missus were shouting run, run run at the iguana getting chased by the snakes....truly brilliant programme.

Fortunately it was up against the snake equivalent of the "pathetic sharks".

Yes, first class TV viewing. Camera drones have been a godsend for this type of programme. I imagine that the BBC are saving themselves a fortune for not having to hire out full size helicopters for the aerial photographic work!

Episode 2. mountains

Yep can't wait to see those goats on the side of the mountain,incredible balance

Anyone afraid of heights?

That is one seriously peed off fox..great photography

more than fifty percent of all animal populations wiped out since 1970.
let's show all the beautiful animals? let's get them on tape before we kill em all?
same flippin animals on list to show on tv.

polar bears
penguins
tigers
lions
giraffe
whales
sharks
antelope
monkeys
meer cats
snow foxes
leopards
eagles

thousands of other animals but they aint popular.

10,000 species extinct every year.

Eagle got a go pro.

Great stuff as usual !

It's a wonderful programme, I love these series.

Poor mother.

She survived ! (and cub)

Those mountain goats have a death wish.

Wasn't overawed with the show although some nice shots.

I don't like it when towards the end they go into look how we made this mode, showing behind the scenes footage of para-gliders, helicopters and what the director was thinking, nobody cares about that, it's a wildlife nature show, show the wildlife, makes it feel like they are just filling up the time by doing that.

Tbh so far it's nothing out of the ordinary that I haven't seen on National Geographic on any other week.

Brilliant programme.Truly staggering images of wonderful  animals in beautiful surroundings .
The filming of the Snow Leopard was awesome.
Don't agre with you at all  s_c. You will definitely not have seen shots like these of the Snow Leopard or of the iguana/snakes in last weeks episode, on National  Geographic, or any other programme.

You are being  unnecessarily churlish for some reason. Why can't you just enjoy a very special series
narrated by a genius in his field ?

have a word facts, I say what I see.

Well done

Specsavers may help

Fantastic programme brilliantly narrated.

facts we all see things in different ways, I wasn't overawed by what seemed to be a normal episode on wildlife, I didn't see the first episode though so can't comment. Having a go at someone for not liking something that you like is pretty stupid.

A bit like food. Always irritates me when someone says 'how can you not like that'.

Exactly.

I've seen it almost all before.

So have I but I still enjoy it although I do struggle to watch the goats. A fear of heights behind that.

Of all species that have existed on Earth, 99.9 percent are now extinct.

Scan

Watch the first episode , especially the  filming of the iguanas and the snakes. Incredible.

Will do.

On again.

Never seen that before -

Another animal killing a crocodile.

Didn't see it this week. I reckon what you saw must have been a caiman. They are much smaller than alligators or crocs, and are often killed by jaguars.
