Not bad with the RSA game rancher giving quite a good talk about game farming.

I didn't like the second part. Thought it was a bit boring.

I found it interesting......got touchy feely in the end like. They showed a "cull" blue wildebeast being shot. I thought it was presented fairly.

All said and done, it was as good as you could expect from a thespian.

Despite the SA game-farm bit, the second episode was anticlimactic, as Bakes said. The focus on Kenya was convenient because they don't do it there any more, and this was presented as the reasonable man's position. That Tanganyika made up much of the iconic hunting ground was conveniently ignored, along with the on-going hunting in Mozambique and most other countries.

I was also disappointed not to hear any mention of the beautiful Osa, though her picture was shown repeatedly.

Thinking just of accessible stuff from Brian Herne's book, it could have filled 13 weeks - but this is 2012 and we should be grateful.
