Hopefully I'll be able to watch Match of the Day this week.  I recall when Norwich sacked Bryan Gunn (bless him, true Norwich legend, but an utterly shite manager) and took on Paul Lambert,  up popped camp old Lawro saying Norwich were destined for League Two.  Two seasons later they were in the Prem drawing with his beloved Liverpool.

 Thanks for that.  I'll watch it tonight.

 

I know I've mentioned it several times before. But if any of you ever get a chance to watch a documentary called 'A Conversation with Koko', do, it's truly amazing.

Further details.

 

It's called Monkey Planet and last night was episode 2.

 

The link on iPlayer is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e...net_Meet_the_Family/

 

Synopsis below picture.

 

 

 

Our primate family is incredibly varied and surprising. From the ninja tarsier, a spring-loaded ambush predator the size of a tennis ball, to the magnificant herds of geladas in the mountains of Ethiopia, primates have adapted to environments across the planet.

 

In this episode, Dr George McGavin gets up close and personal with Siswi, an orangutan who uses soap to improve her personal hygiene. He strips off to experience the mind-numbing cold of the Japanese Alps, and heads 100 metres underground to a secluded monkey dormitory.

 

Then there are baboons with a thirst for flamingo flesh; macaques with criminal minds; fluorescent mandrills who wear war paint to do battle; and Ardry, a real-life gremlin who sees the unseeable with her extraterrestrial fingers.

Have heard of Koko, so must look out for that. Project Nim is also good, but quite sad.

Damn, I missed it and it's in HD too.

 

 

 

Aww sorry EC, and its not on iplayer unfortunately. Look out for next episodes on BBC4 Thursdays 10 pm. There was a good documentary to kick off the series too: 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e..._Real_Ripping_Yarns/ 

 

Kind of make a nonsense of the BBC's advertising of iPlayer "You can now watch your favourite BBC programmes wherever and whenever you want to. BBC iPlayer, making the unmissable even more unmissable".

 

Poppycockâ€Ķ now where is the OFCOM complaints website.
