Last Chance to See


Last Chance to See 

Last Chance to See is the BBC follow-up to the Douglas Adams book I mentioned a few weeks back. Having read the book I was curious to see what the documentary series with Stephen Fry and Mark Carwardine revisiting the same locations to find the same animals 20 years later would be like. In the end it's eminently watchable even if Stephen Fry lacks Douglas Adams' dry wit and lays it on a bit thick with the pathos at times. Still, the subject matter I suppose is serious enough that a bit of pathos is understandable. Plus it's not every day you see a star break an arm on TV on the first episode...
