Scott Wolman This is the best big cat narrative program I have ever watched! I love it and have seen each episode repeatedly. The footage is amazing, the hosts are down to earth and speak with a comfort and ease that bonds with the audience, and the wildlife, is, well, breath-taking. This program is the number one reason I have planned a trip to Kenya for safari.
SvaTz Correct me if I'm wrong, BBC's Big Cat series contain:BBC Big Cat Dairy:(1996-2002 total 4 series);BBC Big Cat Week: (2003-2006 total 4 series) and BBC Big Cat Live: (2008 1 series so far) BBC needs to re-release ALL OF THEM!!!! I can't even buy them because some of them aren't even released in DVD or Blu-ray!!!I'm so in love with this TV shows and more people should know about this amazing documentaries that absolutely melt hearts, the quality of it is top notch! And the fun fact is, I actually leaned a lot more from these wildlife animals, I can't appreciate it enough.
chrome1007 I watched the first season and the second and eagerly await the next edition, although we have to wait almost a year for the next series to begin. So far I have watched the first 3 series and the 4th I expect will begin in mid 2007. As soon as you begin watching it it's as if a spell has been cast which hooks you on and never lets go until the end of the series. The animals are also given names so the viewer can grow even closer to them. My favorite character was the leopard named "Shadow" ("Zawadi" in Swahili). Seeing the animals...following them, was a really great experience. I now want to go on my own African safari!It's really hard to watch such a great show, then out comes Saba Hamilton..so boring, whispering...sounds like she's reading a monitor... ***But Jonathan and Simon are great.... Love the documentary.Thanks.
JosephLong210 Big Cat Week is an excellent documentary drama focusing on big cats in Africa. The presenters Simon King, Jonathan Scott and Saba Douglas Hamilton all bring expertise, wit, and the ability to interest the viewer effortlessly yet still implying the seriousness of the situations involving the various lives of the groups of cats every day survival including lions, cheetahs and leopards. I have watched all of the big cat diaries/weeks, since the first one was on TV. I eagerly await the next edition, although we have to wait almost a year for the next series to begin. So far, I have watched the first three series and the fifth I expect will begin in mid 2008 because the fourth was in mid 2007. As soon as you begin watching it, it has as if a spell has been cast which hooks you on and never let go until the end of the series. No matter how many tragedies or shocks occur in the Big Cat Diary/ Big Cat Week I never get bored as all the dialogue and action is executed in perfect and addictive flair. If you love Big Cat Programmes you will love this show, but even if you are not interested. As I was saying even if you are not interested, give it a chance and see how you like this show with its mix of interesting facts, action and drama, which in my opinion is the perfect cocktail for this unique documentary. Well done to Simon King, Jonathan Scott and Saba Douglas Hamilton who organised this fascinating series. 10/10 entertainment.
