I got round to watching the
first episode of David Attenborough’s new natural history series and was not
disappointed by the procession of startling images and stories (the latter
surely fabricated to some extent to fit the pictures) – a swimming sloth in
search of a mate, a tree that kills birds, crazy ants that devour crabs,
wrestling komodo dragons, racer snakes pursuing baby marine iguanas (this
looked like a CGI enhanced scene from Indiana Jones as the predators emerged
from the rocks and just swarmed – it really should have carried a health
warning for ophidiophobes), and a finale featuring plucky penguins; even the ten
minute diary feature at the end showing the film crew at work on the penguin
island was a treat.
