"Did anyone watch it last night? I was bloody sobbing my heart out...but overjoyed when the crew got involved to rescue them from the hole..a lovely bit of tv " It's the sort of program the BBC do so very well,.. as for interfering in the natural course of events.. I'm not sure that's right. | |||

"I personally thought they called it correctly. It was a freak storm that caused the issue, and rather than go in and physically get them to safety they just gave them an opportunity to get out by cutting steps. They still had to use their own determination and initiative to get out. But massive respect to that one female who carried her chick out prior to the steps being cut, immense determination!!" Totally agree | |||

Natural selection, survival of the fittest all terms we ll have heard. If the camera team hadn't have been there . What then? I saw a documentary about turtles and man made interference (street lighting) caused some turtles to head in the wrong direction, the team studying them decided as it was a man made cause they'd intervene, if it was a natural event predation etc they'd do nothing.. I'd say that was the right course of action, storms happen it's part of nature. | |||

"Tell me where the law is written that if it is in the name of 'entertainment' you should watch animals suffer and die? Its never the right thing to do in my opinion, if you can prevent unecessesary suffering you should. I rarely watch nature programs anymore because they have become obsessed with 'creating tension' over suffering and death IMO. " I wholeheartedly agree as this made a welcome change and the outcome was so good to see the penguins climbing the hurried constructed steps out of that hole were they would have been condemned to a slow death | |||

"I struggle to watch any wildlife program, I love them but it upsets me when animals are in danger or get hurt. " Yup, that's why I don't watch them anymore, it's like all those elimination shows, they just like to build tension on purpose by dramatising the suffering and the danger. Bring back the old days when they just wanted to show mating rituals not animal suffering! | |||

"It was absolutely beautifully shot, it’s amazing seeing them so close up. There is an argument about not helping animals in distress natural selection and all that but I’d say that on the numbers we were talking about in the show it would have negligible impact on the species as a whole. Where as the impact it would have on our species is tremendous, I’d rather belong to a species known for its altruism than for any contrive concept of none interference " Well especially as was said on vine this morning " man made the crater that they got stuck in due to global warming" so surly man should intervene in that situation | |||

Well exactly = this ridiculous rule of 'non-interference' might apply to a small number of scientific studies, but these guys are making ENTERTAINMENT ffs, it's just television!! Save every bloody life you can you cruel bastards!!! How they can sit there filming an animal starving to death I don't know, they'd be prosecuted for that in this country. | |||

"I’ve just watched this on catch up... some amusing moments and lots of very sad ones. Kudos to the team that spent a year out there filming I understand others comments on ‘ in the name of entertainment’ but if it didn’t happen we would never know half the things Attenborough has brought us about nature across the world. It certainly helped to start the campaign on reducing micro plastics ... that must be a good thing... " I totally agree | |||
