Dynasty - David Attenborough

[dementedma]

I can hardly watch....come on David! (the chimpanzee, not the presenter!)

How is his leg still ok????

I came on to see if there was a thread! Didn't expect it to be so stressful and emotional. Incredible though.

It's gripping stuff.

When he was left for dead and the females began licking his wounds we were all swallowing rather hard

Loved that snail shot!

I just don’t understand how his leg isn’t infected/dropping off?!?!?!

even his scrotum seems to be torn open. he must be in so much pain!

Cute little monkey baby!

It's like someone filmed me getting in the pool this summer

Don't eat the ants!

David is one tough dude.

not loving the swollen fanjos of the lady chimps!

Or that chimp tattoo!

What a gripping programme! I've honestly never watched/ understood his stuff before (simple mind!) But now I feel grown up and thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm going to watch his other stuff now!

I don't think I can watch it. The stress!

Go on big Dave!!

Was proper screaming at the telly during that 😂😂😂

It is so depressing - too close to real human life for me. Reminded me of the parish council I was once on!

It was amazing (stressfull too!). There's so much personality in each one too; as well as their interactions are so similar to humans. Though glad we don't share the female swelling, would make getting your pants on awkward.

FFS why didn't Dave just tell Luther he could have it? He's a death's door.

Loved this. Absolutely gripping and superb TV.

David the chimp is trending on Twitter. some really funny tweets.
I like the one that said that David (Attenborough) is now the nations second favourite David!

Next week's programme looks equally traumatising. Penguin baby

Oh goodness, just read on bbc what happened to David next

What happened next??

What an amazing programme.

Ds1 wants to watch this, he usually loves nature stuff but he's 8 and easily upset by some of what's being talked about here. I'm going to watch it myself first but should I be wary of letting him see it?
