How fantastic was it, although I spent most of it with tears in my eyes.

Yes, it was very sad, and they did overdo the "oh no, these emotionally damaged elephants bit" but it was interesting to think that elephants were so intelligent and socially complex.

MIS Information (kate), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 07:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh totally. The fact that they are heartbroken because they'd lost their mums absolutely killed me.

PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 07:35 (eighteen years ago) link

It was heartbreaking!

But it was weird that they kept using therapy-speak to describe it, rather than saying "these babies are heartbroken cause they've lost their mums!"

Freud meet elephants, elephants meet Freud

"so, trunks, let's talk"

Right, you guys! We're doing the benefit single. This could be our big break in showbiz!

We;ll just record another version of "Elephants" for charity!

MIS Information (kate), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 07:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Maan! You did this alreadY? I'm impressed!

And it's a great song too.

Didn't Dodgy once record a song called Elephant?

"I want a baby elephant"

They do grow a bit in later years, you know. Is your garden large enough?

If only genetic engineering could come up with a nice, small, house-bound elephant:

(OK, enough Oryx and Crake for me)

Remember: a pachyderm is for life, not just for Christmas.

Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 11:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I couldn't believe my eyes when the show just stopped as the elepants started rioting - I'm not sure I can wait till tomorrow night. Verily, this was TV's first elephanger.

I did feel a bit sorry for the keeper-bloke who was trapped inside a small, locked steel crate with three naughty elephants having a panic attack.

Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 04:21 (eighteen years ago) link

So what happened last night?!?!? I missed it! Elephant Riot?!?!? Elephant Panic Attack? Will they have to administer Elephant Prozac as well as Elephant Grief Counselling?

MIS Information (kate), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 06:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I read the prev but one post as with three naughty elephants having a picnic.

I need an anti-twee pill.

If you go down to the savanah today, you're in for a big surprise... for today's the day the elephants have their PIC-NIC!!!!

MIS Information (kate), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 07:00 (eighteen years ago) link

So what happened to the little rescued elephant?

RUNNING YOUNG ELEPHANT!

animals running out of sheer capering life and enthusiasm are the best things

Obvious, but always awesome. (By coincidence, I was dancing with my dog to this last night when I went out for a cigarette)

Perhaps old news - but a happy baby elephant can't wear out it's welcome.
