Nature's Great Events (BBC1, David Attenborough)

BBC - Nature's Great Events - Homepage

I know most of us will have watched enough BBC documentaries narrated by Sir David Attenborough by now that we imagine ourselves to be experts and wondering what else they can do... apart from great photography like moving into HD with Planet Earth or perhaps going into say unexplored regions of Borneo, Brazil and Indonesia or the deep seas

BUT....

I just iPlayer'd episode 2 "The Great Salmon Run" and finally found out how fish do it

Now need to iPlayer episode 1

Episode 3 - The Great Migration

Excellent episode especially about the lions.

Makes you wonder when there's 100,000 wildebeests, etc on the plain, why they dont run over 6 lions instead off standing there and letting young off their calfs get chased and eaten. Or like the the mother cheetah was chasing its prey, they could go over and stampel on her cubs.

Other than those lovely thoughts the production was great and the diaries at the end interesting.
