Just watching this with granddaughter. Did the elephants really trample on the camera spy?? Georgi was chattering at the time and I missed it!!!

Really enjoying this, when the chatter doesnt intervene that is!!!

If that's the programme with the spy camera disguised as a tortoise, then yes, it got kicked out of the lead elephant's way and generally abused a bit! :shock: :) I can't recall it actually being trodden on, though, but I might have missed that too - I love these types of programmes, but find them extremely soporific - it's the even tone of the narrator's voice that does it, coupled with a so-purr-ific puss on my lap! :oops: :lol: :lol:

Hi smudger,

Yes the tortoise spy camera got well & truly squashed!, though it did carry on filming afterwards, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this series...it's been fascinating & funny at times.

Awwww bubbles! Thought it had. Thanks folks! Agree, great prog.
One of those moments in time, a seconds glance and you miss the critical action!

Absolutely love this programme. Totally hooked on it. Makes you realise just how intelligent animals are. I can't decide which animals I love the most - the monkeys were amazing, but the meerkats stole my heart.

I have just started flying my drone, and when I have had sufficient practice so that I don't send it flying off into the distance resulting in a half hour hunt in a vineyard, I hope to post some nice movies. They won't be up to Sir Dave's high standards, but they will be filmed with enthusiasm.
