This documentary series follows the lives inside Serengeti, where animals live with their families and struggle against survival, as the powerful attack the week in a fight to survive. In the first season, the animals go in a fatal fight, after the shortage on food.
The BBC must quietly be preparing for the day when Attenborough can't play Glasto any more. I fervently hope this isn't the way forward, although it has given me a useful new distinction between "popular" and "populist".
It's hard to trust these constructed science-free stories, which tend towards squeamishness... It is worth sticking with, however, because the film crew have submitted wonders.
It's hard to fathom whom this is for, given it feels like it's for children on the one hand but definitely isn't on the other. Weird. But watchable, even if it isn't "new."
