Can't believe the lack of comment here! Good grief Stephen you are always putting yourself down, when I think about yourself these days it's of a handsome ambassador; advocating the need for some input into healing the damage done from the industrial era; added with the ongoing inbuilt fascination you have for all things quite interesting too :D I hope you and Mark get the chance to do it all again in the future and find things much improved, here's hoping!

Dearest Stephen,
I haven't seen any of your program yet, but I bumped into some short trailers on the bbc-website and felt the urge to write you a note immediately. I am very, very pleased to see you are professionally concentrating on nature for the moment. I have been a wildlife journalist for many years and I also have seen many magnificent creatures in stunning landscapes all around the world. All these magical encounters have made me very happy. If my eyes don't decieve me, I can see wild nature -in al its staggering beauty, vulnerability and humour- does the same for you. That pleases me, because I once saw your program and confessions on bipolarity and I really felt very sorry for you. You're such a funny and creative personality, that I'm a big fan of yours. I sure hope that your exciting encounters with mountaingorilla's, bushbaby's and all those other wonderfull creatures that share this earth with us have given you new and lasting inspiration and also some sort of strange comfort. Please do not make the same mistake as many conservationists do: feeling constantly depressed because so many of these creatures are threatned with extinction. Never slip away in cynism and gloom. For what it's worth: nature will always be abundant, and humans are also part of it.
Greetings!
Lucienne from Holland.

To be fair i dont watch all that much television, but i saw a snip of this series and tracked it down, i am not intelligent or special or outstanding in anyway i am just ordinary!! but i have to say Stephen you are an amazing person, as i watched the series i was totally hooked, but also ashamed of us as a race, how could we still be so stupid, i am an ostrich and in times of horror and dismay i dont watch television, read news papers as it upsets me terribly, sad!!! yes i am bone achingly sad for what we do to our world.
Anyway i watched your programme knowing that it would be sad because of the endangered amimals but i still watched, because of you...
what absolute brilliance i laughed so hard at the Kakapo and the face it pulled while slapping Mark with it's wings... Oooh i laughed for hours but the thing is, it was you that made it special and warm and great, the fact that you obviously dislike the outdoors but there you were doing it anyway, in your very English gentlemanly way.
so would i enjoy it more or less if some rugged and handsome man in the best jungle clothes stood looking at his reflection in the camera eye.... no i liked it more because, you are no more or less than what you are!! truely fabulous. Thank you
kind regards
lainey
