Hi Henry
I missed it as well, but if the mistakes of the previous programmes are repeated, it's probably not much of a disappointment.

Personally I didn't rate it at all. I watched last week's one about the Wildebeest migration, and thought it was dumbed down and oversensationalised in the extreme.
Which leads me onto...why do we get so many programmes about African megafauna - i.e. the big land mammals in the Ngorongoro Crater or Masai Mara? I want to see more about birds and other creatures, and would welcome programmes about South America or India, for example. Nothing against African megafauna, it's just that it's been done to death over the years.

Having said that, there was a great programme about the Australian Red Centre last night with some of the fabulous birds. I didn't know it was on until it started.
