    Sadly, I missed it.

    I watched a program on the monsoons and the Himalayas, a few months ago. Interesting stuff.

    LOL Yes. Just had 5 weeks of X Factor.

    I missed this:

    "5/5. Exploring the relationship that has developed over thousands of years between the people who live in monsoon regions and the wildlife they share them with. In the rice paddies of Assam, India, farmers battle a herd of hungry elephants over their crops, while on the Philippine island of Palawan, near Borneo, people still hunt in the forest and live in caves for part of the year. The programme also looks at the impact of organised religion, meeting members of the Bishnoi sect who believe that all life is sacred and have even been known to lay down their lives to protect trees. Colin Salmon narrates. Last in the series."
