My Life with Animals...was on tv tonight.

I hadnt previously seen Kymbas heads so up only caught this by chance but WOW what a great doc all about the life of wildlife filmaker/presenter Simon King.

Some great footage of him in his youth and his previous film work...moving at times...he is a huge inspiration for me...plus i want all the outdoors gear he wears !

Good stuff.

Thought the same thing myself. I had a look at his website (Simon King Wildlife My Kit Box) where he tells you all the kit he uses. Not exactly cheap though.

That was a good programme, I enjoyed it very much

The clip about the meerkat who survived the snake bite was excellent

Excellent program, lets hope we see more of him in the future.

I agree Dan. He's a huge inspiration to me as well. What I wouldn't do to have his life...

What a gentleman; lucid, calm, knowledgeable, committed and unpretentious.

Very good program. Sure maybe having his parents gave hime a slight advantage but he took it with both hands and were all better off because of his great camera work

What a fantastic programne and what a brilliant Bloke. I have to admit to being a huge fan of simons for many years. I never miss a programme he does if i can help it.. he has such a heartfelt love and admiration for all wildlife, you cant help but feel it to.. I have cried at some of his stories many times. Heres to many more to come.. Hes why i watch Spring watch
