    I had to google your phobia and found a youtube video which shows clips of the toad (among other things). I turned the programme off at that point too because I was eating. I'm not phobic about it but the thought of something living under the skin and erupting revolts me.

    I loved the polar bears playing with the dogs.

    Just been watching this on iPlayer. There's 3 episodes on there BTW (two from series 1).

    I'm actually finding it quite interesting.
    Creepy-crawlies aside, a lot of it seems to be like "Nature's X-files" and it's explaining a lot of stuff that some people have attributed to "paranormal" phenomena.

    Loved the bit about all the birds dying on New Years Eve, for example.
    Perfectly straightforward when you actually work it out.

    You must have been watching a different programme. I thought I must have missed something, so skimmed through it on iPlayer and there is nothing remotely like that.

    I only saw the last 10 mins so will Iplay it and will most likely watch the other 2.

    I like this sort of programme but don't like the maggots in the skin :eek:

    It was interesting tonight. Wouldn't ever want to go to Guam - spider island.

    There's some good footage in this series but it really must be a phobic's nightmare.

    It was on the 2nd episode from Series 1. One of the other 2 episodes available on iPlayer.

    Ah right. I thought we were discussing the current series (didn't know there had been a previous series).

    It's just a glorified clip show, anyway - I have seen the ants forming a raft to cross a river before, and quite recently.

    And the graphics! Is it aimed at 10-year-olds?

    Chris Packham calls himself a scientist? "These strange sounds are man-made so the aliens are not invading" !!!

    What he should have said was "Aliens may be invading but are not responsible for these strange sounds which are man-made"

    We've had paralysed goats..electric blue lobsters and now double headed snakes, I don't think we've had walking fish yet, although I may have missed them!
