Elsa: The Lioness That Changed The World on BBC2.

[bacon]

Didnt anyone watch it - orginial footage of Joy and George. I sobbed all the way through and still sad now. What absolute amazing people who did so much for the lions the compassion, and truely the devotion that they had for Africa. Even the lions turning up after George's funeral..amazing.

One of the best things I have seen for a long time.

Please watch on i-player. You wont be disappointed when you see Joy and the lions so affectionate towards each other.

I'll watch this - I'm already welling up just at the mere thought of it!! :)

For those of you that love the story of Joy and Elsa, I highly recommend that you read The Spotted Sphinx which is about a cheetah cub that Joy raised and successfully released back into the wild.

It was a wonderful mix of amazing footage and high emotion. Stunning programme.

absolutley amazing - recommend the book about Christian the Lion (he featured in the doc) really lovely!

catching up on iplayer,very moving.
