For furture LW it's repeated in the early hours of Wednesday morning, that's when I record it so it doesn't clash with all the other things I Sky + !!!! Embarassed

**whitestarling** Wed Jun 09, 2010 10:58 am

Now you tell me Doogs lol!

I missed last weeks, and the catch up on Sunday. I was recording springwatch, and they clash, but lucky me I watched the sprinwatch recording last night, and at the end I just switched onto Sky programmes, and there was Gorilla School. It's replayed on Animal Planet at
1-00am so you can catch up now LW

**Doogs** Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:04 am

Oooh this might be confusing but that's this weeks GS that is on in the early hours, not a repeat of last weeks - but maybe you realise that Embarassed

**whitestarling** Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:56 am

Yes it's OK I realised that Doogs, You'll have to send us a short update on last weeks so we can catch up
WS

**littlewid** Wed Jun 09, 2010 8:46 pm

Right I obviously missed last weeks as I forgot Sundays programme, but I recorded last nights and thats the one that will be shown this Sunday I presume, so all i've missed is last weeks, if im right, and thats bad enough cos there was so much going on.

**whitestarling** Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:10 pm

Yes your right now LW I did the same so we've both missed last weeks
WS

**Doogs** Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:15 pm

Ok, now I know you've both missed last weeks affraid

- short update . . . . .

Damien and Mos returned as they were worried about Kwibi and wanted to give him medicine for the parasites they think is troubling him and his group. They tried to find him but unfortunatley they didn't Crying or Very sad

They did find the rest of the group though and they were treated with their first dose of medicine. They think that Kwibi is dead but no body has been found so it's not confirmed. I did do a search on the internet to see if this was the case or not but failed miserably, maybe, just maybe he is still alive :?:

Little Lokoko was accepted better in the group. Tiny Tia was getting ready to spend her first night with the rest of her group - you actually see how she gets on this week.

There was a lovely 'Kwibi' moment when Damien came into the forest and shouted on the little ones, the 'Cmon' he does and they all came running up to him and wanted a 'Bosie' - yes its that Aberdeen word again.

If I remember rightly there was a wee bit about the Eco Guards doing their stuff also.

That's about it I think . . . . . Very Happy

**whitestarling** Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:18 pm

Thats great Doogs Gorilla School - Page 2 768480

a big thanks, now I know where we are upto. It's really worrying about Kwibi though it does'nt sound good at all
WS

**Doogs** Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:25 pm

I know WS, I don't think I'll ever forget that special moment when he and Damien met after 5 years apart, brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

As I said though, searched the internet to see if I could get it confirmed that he was dead but couldn't, just gives us a wee bit of hope

**whitestarling** Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:03 am

Well that was the last one Doogs I wont spoil it for anyone else who has'nt seen it. I really hope they come back with an update sometime to tell us all how they have gone on
WS

**Doogs** Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:14 am

I know WS, was thinking that myself. Might even email Damien's place Howletts and see if they can confirm if there's anything else in the pipeline - surely they can't leave it at that !!!

How cute was little Bumbi/Bumbee however you spell her name. It looks so harsh on the little ones when they are being integrated into the group but it has to be done to get the pecking order right. She was a fiesty little toot anyway and fairly stood up for herself Very Happy

Was speaking to hubbie last night about getting away for a bit later in the year and he said we could go down south take in some horse racing, some footie and we could go to Monkey World in Dorset. I said after watching this programme I think I would rather go to Howletts to see the gorillas !!! I love you

Will keep you posted on whether we do or not cheers

**whitestarling** Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:17 am

Wow Doogs that would make a great break for you both. All your favourite things in one go. Hope you make it. I'm going with Bumbi, she really was a tough little nut was'nt she.
WS

**Doogs** Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:19 am

I know, yeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaa Gorilla School - Page 2 768480

She was tough and adorable I love you

**littlewid** Fri Jun 18, 2010 7:16 pm

Oh no, have I missed the last one, I thought it was on this sunday evening or have I got it wrong again, I will kick myself if I have, I so loved this programme, fingers crossed I havent missed the last epidsode.

Doogs you would love Monkey World, I have been there and just fell in love with it but like you, I would also like to go to Howletts as well, I really hope you get there, please keep us updated.

Please let Gorilla School be on this Sunday.....please

**whitestarling** Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:28 pm

If you check the Calendar LW You'll find it's on. Also the whole series is repeated on Sat 26th June & Sun 27th of June for anyone who missed it I will put that on the Calendar as well
WS

**littlewid** Sat Jun 19, 2010 8:15 am

Brilliant WS, thanks for that, i'm really pleased I haven't missed it, i'm also going to try and watch the repeats as I missed the first couple of episodes, it was thanks to Doogs mentioning it that I remembered to watch the rest.

**Laikipia** Sat Jun 19, 2010 8:17 am

I might get to watch the whole series then? As i have repeatedly missed it!

Thanks WS

Lai

**Doogs** Sat Jun 19, 2010 11:19 am

might record that and watch them all again together in one go Gorilla School - Page 2 768480

It's worth watching to see the Damien / Kwibi bit alone I love you

WS

**littlewid** Sat Jun 19, 2010 5:03 pm

I am so looking forward to tomorrow Doogs and relieved that I haven't missed it but sad it will be the last one.
