We watched this tonight and were transfixed by it. I hope others have
seen it too, because it's wonderful. The amazing evolution Nature
provides where each plant, insect and animal is of use to the other was
beautifully shown. And we loved the last segment which showed how it
was done with the time lapse photography.

I had intended to put a "heads up" on here but events overtook me.
Excellent photography , a good programme but why oh why the stupid
sound effects. Partly ruined it for me.

I have to agree with that, Bob. I just cannot believe some whizzkid
thought "we need music over this to compete with Attenborough's
narrative". I am actually going to write to moan about this and am
probably on a Grumpy of Devon list somewhere. But it was a truly
fabulous programme and nothing could have been needed less than a
musical soundtrack when DA was speaking.
