Just watched Yellowstone - Winter on BBC and it was one of the most amazing wildlife programs I have ever seen.
The quality of the film was amazing.
Even if you never watch wildlife documentaries try to watch this if you can.
It looks amazing on a flat screen TV, even in non-HD
You can catch it here on BBC iplayer
You can also watch Yellowstone - Summer

Yes Guilbert, I watched that on the iplayer, amazing, I even felt sorry for the bears, especially that trek up the mountains for the moths, All the reality shite is one of the reasons I never watch mainstream telly, but since the iplayer there are some great programmes you can choose to view when you feel like it, this one was one of the best wildlife docs I have ever seen.

Great Programme. I look forward to the last one in the series this Sunday.
I know some people complain about the BBC but they certainly make this type of programme well.
And we complain about the weather in this country. From the programme only the month of August is free from snow.

But they then go and make stuff like "Through the Wall" to spoil it all.

The BBC are in a difficult position.
If they ONLY made documentaries and "serious" programs they would be acused of being elitist and esoteric.
People would then complain "there was nothing to watch" (soaps etc) and refuse to pay their TV license.
The BBC have to try to compete with ITV and Sky on one level, but still continue to make excellent quality TV.
I for one am very proud of the BBC and feel lucky I live in a country where TV like this is still made and watched. Having been to the USA and seen the TV that is available there I would never begrudge paying my TV license.

Yogi and BooBoo had obviously overslept and consequently were missing from the programme. !wink!
