|
|
So last night I was watching TV and there was this incredible documentary with film from Inside the Leiturgia gypsum caves, its from the BBC and they said it is the only time filming will be allowed inside. The whole dosumentary is about caves but if you want to miss the stuff about bats, sulphuric acid dwelling fish, algae and snakes the segment on Leiturgia starts at around 40 minutes in, I will be honest I watched this section of the show with my jaw practically scraping the carpet in my living room, absolutely breathtaking. Anyway enough of my waffling watch this ....

I just watched it again, its fine, it is not as I previously said the only time anyone has been allowed to film there but it is the only time a crane has been used to get moving camera angles and apparently their not going to allow anyone else to film it, the connection is fine, its on the BBC so the quality is also very good |

The BBC program is only available if your IP adress is in the UK. I am a few kilometers from Jersey at the moment but my IP adress for the moment is in France : ( |

Im sorry about that, I didnt know you could only watch it from here, thats a real shame.. I suppose thats because we have to pay the BBC over $200 a year for owning a TV in the UK.
Apologies

I noticed that "planet_earth" was part of the link you published - is it possible that you were 'watching an episode of the Planet Earth Series? Episode #1 on Disk 2 is titled "Caves" - I confess I haven't had time to watch that disk, but when time permits I will check it out.

Hello Tracy,
That is very possible, its series 1 episode 4 and I think it was maybe first shown last year, Its presented by David Attenborough.
