BBC viewers were scared stiff last night by dramatic footage in the long-awaited series Planet Earth 2 that showed dozens of snakes chasing baby iguanas.[CN]
昨晚BBC的见证者吓得目瞪口呆。他们翘首企盼已久的行星地球系列2的视频中，一群蛇在追杀幼蜥蜴。
The astonishing television which showed marine iguanas attempting to outrun a knot of racer snakes on Fernandina Island was labelled ‘the stuff of nightmares’.
Hatchlings
could be seen emerging from the sand of the Galápagos island in the
Pacific Ocean in June for what is the snakes’ best feeding opportunity
of the year.
The footage on BBC1 showed some iguanas outrun the snakes to safety by the sea while others were caught before the snakes wrapped themselves around them.
When the crew saw the snakes for the first time, they were too shocked to film - and host Sir David Attenborough had never seen anything like it either, it was claimed.
Among
the millions of viewers captivated by the footage shown at 8pm last
night was Olympic rower Will Satch, who described it as a ‘real life
horror film’.
He tweeted: ‘Bloody snakes chasing those poor sea swimming iguanas. David Attenborough is exactly what this world needs and plenty of him.’
Sir David's commentary told how the snakes’ eyes are poor, but they can detect movement and are on alert for other iguanas after seeing one.
Viewer
Alex Barreto praised the 'absolutely disgusting but incredible
footage', while Claire Macmillan expected to have ‘nightmares about
those racer snakes'.
And Reece Caddick said: 'I will 100 per cent have nightmares about those snakes on Planet Earth. Never thought I would be emotionally attached to an iguana.'
Meanwhile ITN lighting cameraman Matt Freestone hailed the sequence as ‘probably the most brilliantly edited piece of television I've seen in ten years’.
The hotly-anticipated series, which is formed of six parts and follows on from the first Planet Earth in 2006, has taken three years of filming and 117 filming trips.
The first episode focused on island life and used nine filming locations. Next week the show will look at mountain animals including a rare sighting of snow leopards.
MailOnline TV critic Jim Shelley said: ‘One chase scene and narrow escape was more thrilling than anything in James Bond and actually not that different.’
He
added that the racer snakes ‘sounded scarier and scary enough without
the sight of them hunting in packs, like a scene from Indiana Jones’.
And Daily Mail TV critic Christopher Stevens, who gave the first episode of the new series five stars, described last night's sequence as ‘truly edge-of-the-seat’.
He said the predators writhed together 'like a mythical animal with a dozen heads' and 'they looked like animated clay monsters from an old-fashioned horror movie'.
Meanwhile BBC chiefs will be celebrating today after the programme claimed a massive audience of 9.2million and a 36 per cent share of TV viewers.
This made it Britain's most watched natural history programme in more than 15 years - and it was more popular than the first series debut watched by 8.74million viewers.
And
it has also been revealed that the series does not feature any penguin
deaths because they look too much like humans, so it would upset
viewers.
The main reason I do not watch nature programmes is that I do not find it entertaining watching animals/reptiles being savagely killed by a predator(s). I know this is what happens in the wild and that nature is indiscriminately brutal, but it doesn't have to be filmed. I respect Sir David Attenborough stance in that he refuses to interfere or intervene with the harsh savagery of nature and its hardships, but does he have to film the suffering in such an intensely voyeuristic manner when a narrative will suffice?! We know the [unpleasant] outcome so there's no need to televise it in all its graphically violent detail. A little discretion and sensitivity on behalf of Sir David would go a long way.[CN]
我不看自然节目的原因是：看动物/爬行动物被猎食者追杀没什么瘾头。我知道野外会发生这种事情，大自然是很残酷的，但是也没必要拍摄出来啊。我很尊敬David Attenborough，他不介入大自然的大屠杀以及困难中，但是他真的需要拍出这种遭遇，还是以这种偷窥式的方式？用个独白就可以啦。我们知道结局都不怎么好，所以没必要把每一处地理的暴力细节都披露出来。David多一点判定，多一点理性会走得更远。
I agree with you in that I also will not watch nature programmes for this reason. However, I simply choose not to watch them. If other people want to watch it then it is entirely up to them. There is clearly an audience for it if the programmes keep being produced. It is their choice to watch, just as it is our choice not to.[CN]
我同意你的观点，也因为这个我不看自然节目。但是，我就是不想看。如果其他人想看，随他喽。这种节目一直有推出证明是有一定受众的。他们有选择的权利，我们也有。
There is something deeply disturbing about Attenborough, he seems to be fascinated about anything concerning something being killed, this has trended throughout all of the programs he has been involved with, he certainly has a dark side which I for one am uncomfortable with, and will never watch any of his filming.[CN]
Attenborough内心深处是非常狂躁的，他似乎对于一切杀戮现象都是极其着迷，这个主题贯穿了他参加过的所有节目当中，明显这家伙心理阴暗啊，我就不太喜欢他这点，所以绝不看他的任何电视。
It is the laws of nature I'm afraid, look at us humans, killing, torturing, bombing, wars, famine, its the truth. What David Attenborough does, is film nature at its finest. Yes it is cruel, and I don't believe for one minute he has a dark side to him at all, he is one of the greatest documentary makers in the world, and without him we would not even begin to learn about other species on this wonderful world we are all living in. Open your eyes, and see the beauty for what it is. You are certainly missing out. What a pity.[CN]
这就是自然法则啊，看看人类，杀戮，酷刑，轰炸，战争，饥荒，这就是事实啊。David Attenborough做的，就是把自然原貌呈现出来。是的，是很残酷，但是我绝不相信他内心阴暗，他是世界上最好的纪录片制作人之一，没有他我们甚至没有机会去认识其他物种，我们居住的地球上原来是这么的精彩纷呈。睁开眼睛好好看看这个世界的美丽吧。你错过了。真是可惜。
Terrible programme. Discovery and National Geographic produce much better nature documentaries.David Attenborough should retire. Too much of him talking and over dramatising what was happening. The Hans Zimmer Music was too loud.BBC has really lost its way, Shut down the whole corporation and leter better companies such as the ones I mentioned above handle nature documentaries.I cannot beleive the TV tax was wasted on this dross.[CN]
好可怕的电视节目。国家地理与发现这档节目推出的自然现象档案更优质一些。David Attenborough早该退休了，他啊，话太多对于发生的现象也批判过重。配音Hans Zimmer的音乐太吵了。BBC真的不幸了，还是快快倒闭吧，让那些好一点的公司（我刚提到的）来主持这一类自然现象节目吧。真不敢相信，电视节目税浪费在这种垃圾节目上。
There are many, many different aspects of wildlife behaviour YET the one dominating theme of wildlife shows on TV and particularly Attenborough's is the overwhelming focus on the 'chase' and subsequent death of the various species featured. I wonder why ? Would that be the main selling point by any chance ? Snuff movies for the sad people to enjoy.[CN]
野生动物行为各式各样，这么多节目当中，题材最具有主导地位的电视当属Attenborough，它主要着眼于“追杀”，以及相同物种的大批量死亡。我想知道，为什么介样子？那就是最大的卖点吗？这种索命电影也喜欢看，这些人真够可悲的。
When are these De-Sensitising Animal "Snuff" Movies going to be Banned.[CN]
这种老生常谈的恐怖动物索命系列电影什么时候可以禁止啊。
Yeah that's right ban everything and we can all carry on living in 'blissful ignorance' anyway this is nowhere near as horrific as what your meat goes through at the slaughterhouse - just saying :-([CN]
是拉，都禁了吧禁了吧，我们可以继续生活在盲目的乐观中。至少这种恐怖还比不上屠宰场上宰杀动物的场景 – 不喜勿喷:-(
