I'm watching Human Planet and I've just seen three skinny African gentlemen walk up to 15 hungry feeding lions and steel their wilder beast. Incredible. Plumbs of steel.

Thoroughly fascinating programme 
Brilliant to capture it on film too 
They just walked tall, confident and capable.....looked like something out of a rock painting with the 'cowboys' fighting earlier
I so wanted to watch the spice trail one afterward, but her voice grates on my nerves like nails on a blackboard
Is there a transcript for the series ?
cheers,

Interesting how the lions cleared off rather than regarding them as a second course.
I didn't catch whether their arrows were poisoned, but even if they were they wouldn't have been much use against a charging lion….

That was amazing how they just got up and walked. The poisoned arrows would have taken hours for any effect to show on a lion. By that time, you'd be bones. Excellent piece of television.
Good programme; particularly appreciated in the diary bit at the end the woman saying she 'almost cacked' herself, very refreshing from the BBC.
Anyone else find this one a bit 'too' proud of our domination of nature for our own benefit?

Again, the programme fell short. I would have liked a proper explanation or theory as to why 15 or so mature lions ran from three men? Does anyone know?
Mmmmm, yes good TV show, but what about this then
Take the San hunting scene.
Picture 1- Kudu stabbed just behind the shoulder with dirty great spear.
Picture two, the animal is going down 'mortally wounded'
Note there is NO SPEAR WOUND ON THE SHOULDER!!!.
Was this an animal drugged by the BBC for filming reasons, got to ask the question.
Take a look at the running times on the bottom left for continuity.

Need you look any further for a glimpse of our ancestors and a practice probably as old a human-kind than those 3 gents (and gentlemen they were), nerves of steel, self confidence in their knowledge of what we now call Animal Psychology. Most predators have the sense to distinguish between "something's going to die here" and "it could be me!"
Just recalling the scene makes a shudder run down my spine and my skin creep!
There will more than likely be a transcript available from the BBC, Toddy. It may be quicker to acquire by "snail-mail" that wait until it's placed on the net after the re-run.
Acht, KH isn't the worst, at least not quite in the category of a comedian presenting a serious topic; ie, Baldric on archaeology or The Smell of Reaves and Jack the Ripper. I can't help seeing Baldric kneed in the nuts while wearing a dress, or Vic Reaves boxing with drawers bulging at the rear.
There were excellent progs some years ago with the historian Michael Wood on the Spice, Perfume and Silk Routes which are more than likely on YouTube.
I'm fascinated by the influence of North Africa on Europe from the burning of the Library of Alexandria (Julius Ceasar, et al), the Crusades and the explosion of knowledge from, and final destruction of, Andalusia.
