Sixth and Final Episode


This covered the issue of conservation and returned to some of the animal stories in the preceding episodes to illustrate grass roots activity, e.g. with the elephats at Ambroseli and the turtles ... I can't recall if this was the Comores as seen before or another place. I'm glad that the episode featured some of the local people and some of the stories were inspiring such as the Masai who have turned lion protectors from hunters. The trio of sisters who track the elephants too.

Most touching was the final part with the rhino calf who was born blind and is presently in human care as he would be too vulnerable in the wild. This part of the filming even made the producer cry!

I wonder how this programme looks in America with Whitaker dubbed as the narrator. Do they dub David's voice even when he's on screen?

I did also find the last segment in the whole series very touching. I enjoyed every episode of this extraordinary series. I shed a few tears at the very end with this ending.

Big thumbs up to everyone involved in this project. Well done and tax money well spent for BBC.

Me too. I shed a tear. It has been a great series.

The BBC has removed Sir David's remarks about the rising temperatures in Africa.

This article contains a nice photo of Sir David with the baby rhino. It also makes reference to an event in episode two that might be a spoiler for some.
