This is about the new Sunday evening series featuring Stephen Fry.
He's heading around the world in the footsteps of the legendary Douglas Adams looking for the world's rarest animals.
The original book has long been a favourite of mine, and this series has been an excellent chance to catch up with the plight of the animals.
This isn't the usual TV drivel, so I don't know how many people are watching it. It's not what you'd expect from Stephen Fry either. He's clearly not had chance to prepare a script, and he clearly knows very little about the areas he's going to or the animals he's going to see. He's kind of intellectually naked.
The stars though are the animals they're getting to visit, and the fantastic landscapes.
Last night they finally managed to see one of the animals they were looking for in the wild - the Aye aye of Madagascar. Pretty poor innings so far, just 1 for 3
Last week when the Rhino came towards them and Fry was crapping himself was fantastic. Likewise him falling and breaking his arm
If you get a chance to read the book, it really worth while. The writing of Douglas Adams is superb in the book and you get a real feeling for what he's trying to achieve.
Likewise, the series is well worth a dip into iPlayer to catch up on.
So, anyone else watching it?
