Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!
I had you all down as falling for that as well.

And it won't let me download it.
Basically it was Terry Jones doing a piece (like a documentary excerpt) on how they've found a species of penguin that can fly and migrates to South America when they get too cold.

Had great 'close ups' of them all taking off and flying as a flock then landing in the trees of a rain-forest.

It's really well done.
Even if I hadn't got you, Twiggy would have gone for it.
Maybe Tank...

It's a shame, it's very well done (even when you know what it is).
They won't even allow a download it so I can host it for yas to see.

They showed it being made on BBC this morning.
Terry Jones was filmed in front of a green screen and all the penguins were CGI animated.
Scary.

Apparently you can't.
They've restricted their 'shown' programmes to U.K. viewers only.
Presumably so they can still sell the stuff to your networks after it's been broadcast here.
They ran the penguin story as part of a BBC News broadcast and they show all broadcasts on their internal "BBC i-Player" for seven days after broadcast.
I can get it because I'm in the U.K.
Didn't realise it was domestic only when I posted.
Now I shall chortle and gloat.

*snicker*
