    Glenni, Deever: Of course not! Can you argue with the images and video themselves? Besides, the BBC is a professional insitution funded by the Government and the public; it can't not tell the truth.

    I can't wait to see this documentary, what with it entirely not being an April fools joke and all.

    Happy April Fools Day! (you almost got me there)

    Flying penguins...if this is the real deal, and not a joke I'd be interested in seeing it.

    I'll admit, the timing of this documentary being made news is certainly bad! 18.gif

    When I saw the report on BBC1 this morning I saw the part with all the penguins in a huge flock like in the above picture and I couldn't help thinking it to look slightly fake...although the other shots certainly were real I reckon...

    This is all part of the penguins preparations to take over the world! You have been warned! 18.gif

    I must admit that I enjoyed the trailer when I saw it for the first time a few minutes ago, Amused to see it being discussed here, though. LOL

    Here's a link to the BBC's historical archive of it's April Fool's jokes:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/1/newsid_2819000/2819261.stm

    Apparently, since some believe this to be true, the BBC has also discovered:

    "...a lizard that swallows itself to deter predators and a species of rapping frog that attracts mates by rubbing its hind legs together to make music."

    No, it was the notion of flying penguins that gave it away. 2.gif

    The lizard swallowed itself, promptly creating a small black hole because of the mass of the lizard collapsing in on itself, thus killing all life on Earth. April fools!

    Narrated by THE Terry Jones of Monte Python's Flying Penguin's fame.

    Some good stuff. I liked the shot of the penguin trying to land on a branch near the end.

    Besides it probably didn't cost that much anyway.
