I was really looking forward to this and although some of the photography was good I'm really disappointed by the very low level of the commentary, anthropomorphic twaddle for the most part, will the baby bears "Honey" and "Jewel" (or something like that) survive the night, we haven't seen them today, they've probably frozen to death, then joy of joys, here they are all cuddly and fine. Oh yes, unbelievably lions eat baby animals - some viewers might find this upsetting!!!
The BBC were rightly well known for making superb wildlife films under the care of people like David Attenborough but since "celebrities" have been involved with the process and the move to this level of presentation in Springwatch and Autmunwatch these are really very little different to the cr*p shown on some American channels like Nat Geo Wild where recently a chameleon was featured in a programme titled "African Killers".
I don't expect the Beeb to change as they're going for the mass market and celebs get viewers but it's disappointing nonetheless.
