I'm not sure if this has already been posted but it looks like the penguins don't like being outshone by the pandas

Awwww bless, the poor Penguin

Haven't seen that clip before PPH, Thanks

Here's hoping that in time the Penguin

will get used to the Dancing Panda

and the people coming to see them.

Both pandas are now off display for a while due to colic, here hoping they both get well soon.

I saw this on the BBC News LW, thankfully he is OK now, and back to eating bambo again. She has'nt got as serious a case of colic, and should be better soon

Poors pandas, hopefully they'll make a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the link Littlewid.

Colic is nasty at the best of times and I imagine worse for animals as they don't really know whats happening, apart from they don't feel too good. Good to know they are both getting better though, poorly Pandas Dancing Panda

Such a shame for the Dancing Panda

Here's hoping they both make a full recovery.

There's a programme on about the Panda's coming to Scotland on BBC 1, Wednesday. Now I would have thought if I can get BBC England, Wales, NI etc etc on my Sky then down south you can get BBC Scotland ?

Presuming you can, the programme is called:

Wild About Pandas
BBC 1 Scotland
8pm
Wednesday 1st February

Will have a look Doogs - thanks for letting us know.

I hope we can watch it.

**Doogs** Tue Jan 31, 2012 1:19 pm

Let me know if you can get it Lai - interested to know !

**Laikipia** Tue Jan 31, 2012 1:36 pm

It's shown as a regional variation in RT this week as BBC1 Scotland - so I am thinking not, which will be a great shame.

I'll flick through Sky and see ......

Lai

**littlewid** Tue Jan 31, 2012 5:39 pm

Thanks for that Doogs it will be an interesting watch.

We can get it on sky Lai, it says in my TV mag which is TV & satellite

Local variations, BBC1 Scotland sky 101/971 and all it advertises for the day is the Panda programme.
Looks like we can see it cheers

**Laikipia** Wed Feb 01, 2012 7:54 am

Thanks Littlewid - I'll go and look and Sky+ it.

Had a look at 971 and it's not listing further than 'Pointless' but at least I've found the channel. cheers

Littlewid.

**Laikipia** Wed Feb 01, 2012 6:40 pm

Found it for next week.

Friday 10th 9.00pm on BBC 2 - Wild about Pandas

**littlewid** Wed Feb 01, 2012 10:07 pm

Thats odd Lai as I recorded it tonight on 971 and it was definiately the Panda programme but glad you've found it for BBC2, i'm looking forward to seeing it.

**Laikipia** Thu Feb 02, 2012 8:24 am

True Littlewid it was but it's also on regular BBC for us southerners Laughing

who don't have Sky, although we do scratch

Lai

**Doogs** Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:11 pm

Gosh that's most scratch

but good that everyone is going to get it - eventually !!! It sometimes happens with us that you'll get a programme down south but it doesn't come up to Scotland for a few weeks (must take it's time to get up the road Laughing

). I am currently watching/recording Safari Vet on ITV London throughy Sky as it hasn't started up here yet.

Anyway, back to the Dancing Panda

- another one that's on my Sky Planner, will hopefully get a chance to watch it tonight.

Pity.

**whitestarling** Wed Apr 04, 2012 11:14 pm

I saw it on the News tonight Doogs, what a shame they did really seem to get on as well, but it is so difficult. Lets hope for better news next year

**Laikipia** Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:32 am

It's a shame but I agree with their last paragraph

"Baby cubs would have been a bonus this year, but we have to appreciate that the pandas have only just arrived and have had limited time to settle."

There's always next year ............. Dancing Panda

**Doogs** Thu Apr 05, 2012 1:40 pm

Lai Pai - I think it's all been a bit soon for them as they are not long at the Zoo, hopefully next year we'll get little Dancing Panda

They were very cute playing and obviously having fun together I love you
