Planet Earth Live

I've already seen this programme getting a hammering on different forums. But I thought I would add to the criticism of this programme because it needs to be criticised in my view. That whoever was responsible for this needs all the 'advice' he or she can get. I mean I knew something wasn't quite right with this programme at the start with Richard Hammond standing there in his Indiana Jones hat pointing into the pitch black darkness saying 'one of the crew thinks he might have saw a buffalo about ten minutes ago'. Then there was the very annoying constant cutting from film to presenter to film to presenter every twenty seconds. Then constantly being told how wonderful and amazing it all was. The people, the BBC, the technology etc as if this satellite television thing was something invented yesterday by Hammond himself. Then there was indeed Hammond himself. Someone should have a word in his ear that he's not as great as he likes to think he is. With or without stupid hat. On the plus side I like Julia Bradbury and they did have pre-recorded film of cute animals. But even then it seemed to be more about the reactions of the presenters as much as the actual footage of the animals themselves. Overall the whole programme was self-indulgent, misleading, badly thought out, poorly presented nonsense. I wasn't impressed.
