Yes I really enjoyed it. The presenter was good as well.

They are adorable.But most definitely a wild animal.Something about their eyes is quite primeval. But really looking forward to tonight's episode. What a good job that family are doing.and what a massive commitment.

Really enjoyed watching this.
Found the hunter scary. Hope he doesn't kill the cubs. Hope those yellow tags provide some protection but this is doubtful.

I cried when the woman who was looking after them cried as they left Blush

Me! I watched it - it was brilliant!

I couldn't believe how quickly they grew, from being tiny little "oh-look-he-fits-in-my-hand" size with cute little faces to being pretty mean-looking "proper" bears who could only be lifted with effort in just a few months when they tranquillised them to take and release. And of course, in a couple of years, they will be HUGE!

Prompted me to look up what happened to Jeremy the Sugar Puffs Bear (remember - those adverts? The land of milk and honey where Sugar Puffs grow on trees etc?"

When she (it was a male impersonator) got too big and dangerous, she was sent to a zoo, where she bit the arm of a 10-year-old who had sneaked in with his friends when the park was closed.

It was decided that it wasn't her fault and she wasn't euthanised. (Phew!)

It seems very sad that an animal that was (as I understand it) brought up almost as a family pet ended her days in what seems to be a pretty much concrete cage)

I watched it. I’m very partial to grizzly bears as DS2 had a toy one, much beloved. (He went missing on a choir trip. We were devastated. Bear obviously, DS2 came home safe and sound...)

The family doing the rescuing were amazing, so thoughtful about the best way to give these bears a chance. The cubs were adorable - though as a mother bear I might well feel inclined to smother anything that made that much noise while sleeping.

Also I tried not to focus on the fact that once adult they would rip your face off without a moment’s hesitation.

But a lovely programme, another triumph from Gordon Buchanan.

I had to keep reminding myself of this whenever I had an *Aaaaawww!" moment.

I suppose that sleeping for 4-8 months of the year means they aren't too much of a trials as regards walks etc, but at 11' tall on their hind legs (5" tall on all fours) for the largest types, the snores would be pretty deafening.

Bears are for forests, not for living rooms, people!

Very cute. I worried about the hunter though.
