BBC2 now. Amazing footage of the Sydney dust storms. Rather hideous Isopod fish parasites in London and Yponomeuta caterpillar coccons in Rotterdam. Good stuff.
Cheers,

Interesting wasn't it. Part two tomorrow - covering the occurrences of dead birds falling out of the sky.. The mice plagues were horrifying!

Was very interesting. I think I like the car covered by the Ermine Moth caterpillar silk best.

Very interesting programme, I'm looking forward to this evening's one. I'd hate to be a farmer in Australia, if it isn't plagues of Locusts, it's millions of Mice.
Regards, Audrey. |

Very entertaining and interesting indeed. Always hate seeing beached whales, never knew it happened in such numbers. Part two reminder is set!
I think the mice, locusts, fish parasite and giant 'woodlouse' gave the wife nightmares!

Yes, the subjects were interesting but most of the clips had been seen on BBC news in the not too distant past. Shame on the BBC for producing a cheapo programme consisting of recycled news articles from other news organisations and getting Packham to parrot out a terrible script. |

Showing repeats of clips for me doesn't make it terrible for me, especially if I've not seen them myself before

I enjoyed it and the theories behind the events, although I admit it was made up of archive footage from other programs. | | | |
