BBC gets with the program

Purty good prog last night on Beeb 2's 'Natural World'- 'Killer Ants'. The voiceover was just as crappy as the title, but fabulous footage of Eciton army ants in eastern Africa included. The massive mandibles of soldier Eciton remain locked in death, are thus are used as organic stitches for lacerations in local medicine.

It's repeated on Sunday, when I will discover just which of the ex-Tomorrow's World presenters (Michael Burke, Raymond Thingy) supplied the lame voiceover for the program. I feel a letter to the miscreant coming on...
