Are they going to make BBC grade documentaries or Discovery grade ones? Although given that they are poaching BBC and not Discovery staff, and that the documentaries they are offering are from the BBC as well I hope they will do the right thing.Anyway, I just hope the BBC won't follow the same path as Spanish television. Back in the 70s we had our own landmark tv naturalist (Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente) and, sadly, his death meant that Spanish nature documentaries were mostly history. His programmer would seem crude now, and the scientific standards weren't as high as in Attenborough's documentaries, but he was a  pioneer anyway.</blockquote>
