I am going to exceedingly loudly recommend Earthflight.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I think there's 5 more episodes. Thursday 8pm on BBC. HD if you can!

It is one of the most amazingly beautifully programmes I have ever seen. Give it a try.

No need to thank me.

It is good, isn't it.

You forgot to mention that it's narrated by David Tennant....

what's it about?

Indeed, that should draw them in!

Which accent was he using?

His Scottish one.

Were you not listening as well as watching?

i watched it t'other night, didn't realise it was the old (new) Dr Who

was very good

It's about the filght paths of births, done, I think continent by continent. Sounds yawnsome, but, honestly, it is STUNNING.

Some of the birds have got mini (I hope) cameras strapped to their backs, so in some parts you get a real Bird's Eye View.

I was but I always think his accent is very fluid.

Don't see the attraction myslef.

oooh sounds fab - hope it's on iplayer

I've just checked - it most definitely is.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the info, Chaos, hope to catch it soon, and may I wish you and the family a very Happy New Year.

It's fab, isn't it? What I want to know is if there will be a programme where they show us how they made it.

Apparently the last one in the series will 'explain many of the techniques', heliumballoon

I had a bit of a disagreement with DH and DD as they did not believe the cameras were really on the birds, but that it was computer generated. The paper this morning proved me right .

Agree, it is fab, and when I saw this post in Active Convos I had a little panic that I had missed the second episode.

The bobbing heads of the birds actually makes me feel a bit queasy...

Hello shodatin, how the divil are you? Merry New Year.

The DDs and I met Kevin McCloud thanks to MN - DD1 was everso impressed, and she still is happily heading down the architect dream.

I was a bit disappointed that it didn't show the technology at the beginning of episode 1 but mainly because my DM must have pondered 347 times about "the size of the camera on the poor birds".
