I don't have a telly, but I saw a bit in the Mail

I don't have a telly, but I saw a bit in the Mail

The Mail is full of snakes in the grass.

The whole programme was phenomenal - for the photography and location. I too don't have a telly but happened to be visiting a friend who does. Friend does not read the Mail either, so I wasn't torn between the two.

Two racing snakes...not @rich p and @ianrauk - but lookalikes, I'll agree.

It was heartbreaking seeing the wounded penguins. I loved them using the film makers campsite as a latrine.

My two kids watched it this morning before school, they both cheered when the iguana managed to wriggle free of the snakes and made it to the rocks!.

Stunning filming and a really good programme.

Watched it today whilst having my lunch. Very good, those Komodo Dragons are amazing, I didn't realize until a recent program that they're poisonous.

The last ten minutes on the filming was good too, some great seamanship from the Zodiac pilot landing then retrieving the crew.

Racer snakes gave me the willies. Never heard of or seen them before.

Fantastic program.

Those Racer Snakes can f**k right off.

Not so much poisonous, but there is so much bacteria in their mouths, any wound usually leads to blood poisoning. They usually bite their 'lunch' then follow it until it dies.

The racer snakes were something out of Indiana Jones. Couldn't believe how many there were !!

'The Zoo' is also back shortly at Chester Zoo. Another great programme.
