[@AA-hg5fk]

Not worth flying all the way to Peru then trekking for 8 hours to see, especially if accompanied by those blokes playing those annoying piccolo -like instruments.

[@MrBuch169169]

I'd love to hear Attenborough just say, "God knows what she's playin' at". He could maybe even have gotten away with this if only he hadn't been rubbish at improvising the VO. xD

[@BaldMancTwat]

Do you like llamas?

[@VirtualR]

Best insight into attenborough's documentaries ever, his older ones you see him at the start, then close up's for the first 30 days trekking, suddenly he appears again in the middle of the forest, then another 30 days of close ups, then he appears at the end lol I bet he's right about him flying in for a few in person shots and leaving it up to the camera men for the rest lol

[@aaroncusworth4504]

That smile when he hangs up and how he says no when Steve is asking if he's lying

[@fattycattle1986]

He was smiling because he could end it there, there was no issue with whether he was lying (also asked a minute or so before), because THERE WAS A VIEW for the cameras, that's all. All idiots imagining their little "lying idiot got one over the other guy" stories. Just too bad K. P. isn't quite as primitive as you types.

[@jstealth89]

this show is so simple yet so brilliant, i was reluctant to watch it originally because the premise didn't look that good even if it was Ricky Grievas production. After the first episode i was hooked i cant wait for season 2.

"Wonder of the world.. Protect it with some string" lmfao

[@ilikesaltines]

If Karl doesn't do anything new soon then I don't know what I will do with myself, but I read somewhere he might do another Moaning of Life so I am psyched if that's true.

Was it any good? Worth the 8 hour trek? Did you have the blokes playing the piccolo -like instruments with you?

[@DrBadass92]

The 8 hr trek can be skipped - i took a 2 hour train and then a bus up to machu picchu - i have no idea where Karl ended up or why he seemed so far away as there's a small village at the bottom with hotels/restaurants! I think they just wanted to wind Karl up 😂
