The Wonders of Life - Brian Cox in the Philippines!

[Jamesey]

BBC2 tonight at 9. Don't miss it!

Brian Cox is brilliant and if this new series is anything like the last two "Wonders" series, it will be awesome. I follow him on Twitter and he posted plenty of pics from the Philippines when they were filming there last year.

I've been waiting for this series to start since then! :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Where's lake teal? Never heard of that or Brian cox

[stevewool]

there you go, my spellings let me down again, lake taal a place you must visit when you go to the phils, Brian Cox, well he tells it how we can understand it, google both for more information

Cheers. As you know my spelling is worser. I know lake Taal well as we sometimes go canoeing there. Free of charge :smile: Pass it once a week when delivering to Tagatay.
Will look up Brian Cox as like things explained the simple way.

Lake Taal. 1hr South of Manila before you get to Batangas. Tres cool.

[stevewool]

1 hour south of , depending on traffic:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[joebloggs]

been to Taal a few times, the 'zoo' near there is a really depressing place :bigcry:
well it was a number of years ago..

[Michael Parnham]

For those who missed it, you check and you may find its repeated on BBC four within the next few days :wink:

The animals in tagatay mini zoo are kept in appalling conditions. If you ever go there don't waste your money.

Not a very good photograph of taal volcano and lake.

Ah ... :68711_thanx: I'll keep a lookout! :cwm25:

[Arthur Little]

Pity though, :bigcry: that most of these programmes featuring the Phils invariably tend to focus on Luzon ... and/or the poorer areas of Manila. :doh

shocking, i went about 10yrs ago, i think it was grizzly bear they had in a cage, it was pacing backwards and forwards, tigers cramped in small cages :NoNo:

at the time i thought of trying to find someone to complain to like the WWF or RSPCA.

Did the grizzly have enough room to pace back and forwards. The cages are just concrete with no foliage or fresh water. Think there was a lion at the front that didn't really move. Reminded of the cowardly lion on the wizard of oz.
Disgusting place that should be closed down.

[joebloggs]

only just, it was probably 15ft square cage, probably dead now, at least its out of its misery :cwm24:

[jake]

Seems they are still there :NoNo:

Absolutely wonderful stuff.

He has the charisma and that special gift to carry this off. Unmissable TV in my opinion.
I watched it on my iPad live (thanks my catchupTV app)

His previous Wonders of ..... series I have on DVD

[Arthur Little]

:cwm25: ... wonder if he'll ever be coaxed into doing a series on any of the OTHER scenic Philippine islands like the Visayas or Mindanao. :Erm:

[Jamesey]

:cuss: ... damn! I missed it ... it was on last night!

I was decorating all day yesterday :yawn:, so I didn't get the reminder out until an hour before it started!

As I expected, it was a brilliant programme. I didn't study biology when I was younger, so it's particularly interesting to me.

Having the first episode flimed in the Philippines just added to the interest. Roll on next Sunday. If I only watch one TV programme next week, it will be this one! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
