Penguins - Spy In The Huddle

Spends nearly a year in the close company of penguins, deploying 50 spycams to capture as never before the true character of these birds.

Looks really good and worth a watch.

BBC 1 tonight at 9.00 PM.

What a swizz............ I clicked on PENGUINS expecting to join a discussion about the marvellous paperback books of the same name, launched in my youth and mainstay of any thinking person in the days back when.

Never mind, I'm listening to AMORE , the latest and thrilling album by the now fully recovered phenomena that is RUSSELL Watson ,who has returned to his operatic roots. Life compensates.

I do like penguins too, the birds that is.

Re: Penguins - Spy In The Huddle

I'm watching it now, but am finding the artificial penguins a little odd, amusing though - I'm waiting for one of the penguins to make amorous advances towards it, but I don't think they are fooled. Something is happening - rockhopper cam has just got out of the water. Humbolt cam is now waiting for the real humbolt penguins to arrive - going to meet and greet

Re: Penguins - Spy In The Huddle

It was brilliant and so funny at part! Loved the penguin who was trying to make up to the robot camera penguin until his missus made it and shoved the robot one down

Amazing how they hid those cameras in the dummy penguins! Loved also the dummy one that laid an egg - that was brilliant!! Even cameras were inside the egg

Marvellous and I thorough enjoyed it

Again, thanks for the reminder!

Re: Penguins - Spy In The Huddle

I wanted to watch the final Lewis on ITV and then it was news and bed for me. I am going to watch it on catch up tonight as there is nothing much else on that interests me. Looking forward to it
