Speaker 1.

If you are fond of films about weather catastrophes like me you’ll enjoy a new series called Wild Weather. It’s all about hurricanes, tornadoes and storms. Everything shown on the screen happened in real life and very often was filmed by people who were not cameramen or directors. They were unexpectedly caught in a storm or tornado and survived. No tricks or computer graphics are used. That’s the best thing about it.

Speaker 2.

Viewers, most of the time, believe that everything they see in the wildlife documentaries is real, that is filmed in the wild. But not long ago I discovered that some programme-makers use animals from the zoos to reduce the risk. It made me mad. They lied!!!

Speaker 3.

I dislike numerous cruel scenes in environmental and wildlife programmes. It might be quite natural, but scenes of hunting and killing baby animals make me switch off the TV. This might spoil my evening’s viewing. Know what I mean? And I am not alone in this.

Speaker 4.

Animal Hospital was really a great success, a chance to learn how to help your sick pet. They offered an eight-week courser on TV. I like the host very much – Dr. Rolf Harris is very friendly, very professional and a perfect teacher. Now I know how to help my cat, if indeed, before the vet comers.

Speaker 5.

I say, computer technology today has changed everything. It has made time travel possible! BBC Discovery Channel showed us the ancient mysterious world of dinosaurs. It was amazing! It was only the use of computer techniques that made it possible to recreate the scenes of dinosaurs’ lives. The images are very realistic.
