Just caught up with the start of this super 3-parter. I'm a fan of Monty Halls and have been wondering what he's been up to, since I haven't seen anything of him for a while. Now I know - getting married and raising a family, and they've all gone to the Galapagos for a few months. No dog Reuben any more, who died 2 years ago, but he now has two daughters aged 5 & 3 who are delightful (if a little precocious, and that's not a criticism - these two are going to be major documentary presenters in 20 years!). His wife Tamsin is a keen environmentalist. There's a strong anti-plastics message. "It's extincting all the turtles" said one of his girls - which the subtitles turned into "It's stinking all the turtles".

I chose to watch this as a few months ago,it must have been an interview about his proposed family jaunt,it seemed to be a different slant on the subject,children being introduced to a different world from what they already know,so sad to see what has accumulated on a hitherto pristine area. Enjoyed all we saw even those humans who live there. For once a good 1 hour programme on Saturday evenings for 3 weeks

Series two starts on Sunday (9th) at 8pm.
Monty Halls and his family return after two years. Mum Tamsin goes on a solo voyage to find giant manta rays, and daughter Mollie views the underwater wild life for the first time. I must admit I didn't see the first series, but saw a trailer the other night, I'll be watching.

I didn't know about this either. I like Monty and his family, and will be watching.

I don't know how I missed the first series, but I'll make up for lost time with this one. The enthusiasm this family show for the wildlife is a joy to behold. The animals are amazing. Loved the iguana and giant tortoises. As for the manta rays.....they look as though they are flying under the sea.

Great start. I notice series 2 will have 4 episodes.
Series 1 (which had only 3 episodes) is available on the All 4 player.

This is great! Plenty of wildlife, and Monty seeing everything afresh through a youngsters eyes, due to his delightful daughters and their enthusiasm.
