Kleptomaniac penguins on BBC1 right now.  (BBC should market that as an iPhone game: a sort of spiritual sequel to Angry Birds. I'd buy it)

I'm not really a huge fan of the little bits at the end of Attenborough documentaries that tell you how the cameramen filmed the proceeding 50 minutes, but that one was glorious. 1 hut at the South Pole + 2 cameramen suffering from isolation and the extreme weather + half a million screaming penguins = comedy brilliance. The bit where one increasingly wild-looking bloke turned to the camera and pondered whether or not penguins drove on the left or the right, all the while keeping an eye on the suspicious albino penguin who had apparently been following him was a really special moment in documentary history.

I think they should shut down BBC3 and use its' allotted budget to clone an Attenborough. We can move the good bits of the channel -like Mongrels and Being Human- over to BBC2. Perhaps other channels & broadcasting organisations could chip in a bit to help too. Even Rupert Murdoch wouldn't want a world where there is no Attenborough peacefully bimbling about the Amazon jungle in search of the wide-mouthed tree frog.

I just saw this title card; why aren't the BBC making more of a fuss? In a period when the Conservatives threaten the BBC on a weekly basis, surely a celebration of how ridiculously impressive the BBC has been over the last 75 years would be good to shore up public support?

LE0N posted:Top boy reminds me a bit of breaking bad only in the fact that the cinematography is so great, it looks better than a lot of films. Enjoying it so far, the pliers scene made me wince, glad the characters are well thought out and different rather than identikit thugs on the street. Yeah I'm really impressed with it so far. Although I don't know if you've seen The Wire but Cutty from that is identical to Leon right down to the beard which is the only issue I have with it. Also I guess something bad happening to the dog was far too easy to guess right from the first episode. I also swear I saw that Brian Eno provided music for it in the credits but I can't find anything confirming it.

Those bits at the end are necessary so that the broadcast is an hour on the BBC, but has enough to be cut for ads when it's broadcast overseas without losing much actual wildlife footage. Also it's a nice way to thank some of the people that have worked very hard to make it as awesome as it is.

Has anyone watched the junior british bake off? It's on CBBC at 6:20. It's pretty sweet, but I think they do a really good job of treating the kids in a non-patronising way. Sure the recipes aren't as complex, but they still make the same sorts of criticisms and deliver it in the same way. There was a girl crying before as she'd forgotten to put the baking powder in, and they just basically reassured her that she could do it and got on with it. I also like to imagine middle England flipping their poo poo over the presenter of a kids show have neck and behind the ear tattoos.

Also, you should maybe check out the steam thread for a nice surprise for the obviously vastly superior Saint's Row III.
