Tonight on BBC 2 at 9pm, this programme could be worth a look or recording.

I missed the first half because of "Have I got news for you" but the second half was great. Does anyone know which butterfly house he was in - it looked like it could have been the one at Bristol Zoo?
Have a goodun

It was really great. So many fascinating creatures.
I dont know which butterfly house it was but you cant doubt the sheer joy that butterfly brought him.

There is an episode being broadcast at 1930hrs on BBC2 this evening. Don't know whether it's the same one.

I really enjoyed this.
It was easy watching, whilst at the same time put an important message across.
Some new and very interesting creatures featured - can't say I've ever come across a Solenodon or an Olm before ...

Cheers for spotting that Mark - I'd prefer a Pangolin, it would look good hanging from the curtain rail

Must admit, I thought that the quoll was by far the most engaging creature. They are simply gorgeous.
Bit disappointed that the Birdwing butterfly got less airtime than any of the others.

I agree, it is a shame the butterfly got barely a mention compared to the other creatures
That Olm is certainly a strange beast. Did I imagine it or did Mr Attenborough say it can go without food for 10 years and live for over 100

You DIDN'T imagine it.
Extraordinary.
