I think it's been a fantastic series. It's almost beautiful to watch how effortlessly and diplomatically Bruce Parry integrates with the tribes he's stayed with. I think it's fascinating to see just how universal basic human facets such as humour, laughing, loyalty, grief and respect are. I loved a couple of the chaps on last weeks edition (the infamous penis inversion one) were just bonkers playing up to the cameras and giggling. It was awful on last night's edition to see how overnight the section of the forrest in which they lived was flattened to the ground by loggers, with no warning. Worthy though other causes are, you can't help but think that that forrest might have been saved had there been a rare parrot or monkey living in it, yet the indigenous human population just had to put up with it.

I've been watching..... brilliant ! I had a lump in my throat with last nights one, when he left them and what his "father" said to him. Couldn't watch when they sacrificed the cow/buffalo thingy ( can't think what it was called !) Andrea
