In praise of the BBC

I am normally not in praise of television in general, in fact the last post I wrote I was grumbling about it! But now I am full of praise of it and certainly of three documentaries they have put on and are still showing.

The first and foremost is Kate Humble in the Frankincense Trail. I feel she was certainly the perfect choice. She was tactful with some of the difficult questions she felt compelled to ask. I look forward to the last (unfortunately) showing of it tonight.

The other two I am really enjoying are TheLast Chance to See and Lost Land of the Volcanoes. Both I enjoy - seeing all the new small animals and insects which have never been seen before.
I did feel sorry for Stephen Fry breaking his arm though!

I do hope there will be many more programmes like these.
