Planet Earth Live

I found this in my BBC Wildlife Magazine.

BBC One

Planet Earth Live is an eight-part series featuring real-time wildlife action around the world.

Starting on Sunday 6th May.

thanks Lai - reminder nearer the time might be good

Will do for sure - just giving a whole load of notice ..........

Lai

Lai thanks, but as Doogs said a reminder about Errrr what have we got to be reminded about Doogs
WS

They are advertising this quite a lot on the TV at the moment and it's really does look spectacular and not long to go now

WS

Thanks WS. I am so looking forward to this, I think it will be truly amazing.

Lai

What do you think about the choice of presenter ?. Hope he does'nt go round the Planet that fast its all a blur
WS

Richard Hammond aka fridge magnet - I love him on Top Gear so can't wait to see how he does with this

Lai

Thats the clip I have seen advertising the programme and it looks amazing.
As for Richard Hammond, I was surprised he was doing it but I must say, his voice sounds so right for it, there is a passion to what he is saying and he grips you, just like DA. I must say though, on that clip I also thought he sounded a wee bit like Simon King, so thats not a bad thing in my book

The good thing about that article is that they both seem so genuinely excited and interested about the whole thing and I love the way Richard says he doesn't see himself as an expert, so hopefully it should all be brilliant and he will ask the questions we all want answering. I am so excited about this series and just can't wait.

Read the article in our TV mag last night Mrs S spotted it. As you say they both seem excited to do it, and I suppost one advantage to them not being experts, is they are going to ask the kind of questions we would want answering

If you've got a minute have a look at their FB page - some wonderful photos of the meerkats and bears

Wonderful, Meerkats are just so one of my most favourite animals, just love them
Thanks for the link Lai

I can hardly wait for this, it's going to be amazing to watch.

Lai

Check out the BBC website for Planet Earth Live

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00qj06z/characters

Lots of info and a bit on all the animals they are filming.

Lai

That is a brilliant link Lai, thanks. It is great to know that the bears they are following are Juliette and her cubs and Juliettes daughter jewel and her cubs, bears we have heard lots about from Lynns updates on the bears.

Looked to see if they were following the Whiskers with the Meerkats but it isn't, they are still going strong which is good news but they are following a newly formed group of 8 Meerkats called the Pandora group.

I am so excited about all of this, I have been following BGT and this week is th live shows but I am passing that over for Planet Earth Live and our foxes that we are following......far more important and interesting than BGT

Good idea Littlewid. I told Pete nothing or nobody would get my away from the TV and Planet Earth Live tonight. Ignore the telephone, feet up and enjoy

The meetkats will be wonderful but I had hoped it would be the group from Meerkat manor - I wonder if they are a breakaway group? I guess all will be revealed soon .................
