Just seen this on the BBC - quite an interesting little advert.

Well known wildlife presenter Terry Jones was instrumental in finding a very special colony in the Antarctic - as this film shows:

Fascinating...

Apparently, it's only around this time of year that this is possible..   ;)

LOL...well it sure is a beautiful piece of work.....but yes, it was April 1st after all......... ;D

 Better still are the ice skating penguins on the BBC "advert".......watch some of them do loops, spins, jumps etc........they are really very versatile little b****rs.......commoner ;) ;D

Those penguins were P&W JT8D assisted, I am telling you.

(I guess so, that was a great April Fool's day joke - one day late for the Australians, and to top it off, I don't have a British IP address, so I can't watch it)  ;)
