The Future Is Wild - Land Squids

[Demon Angel]

I am not sure how many of you people would have this doco shown where you are but there is a show called The Future Is Wild, which I think is British.

For those of you who haven't seen it and don't know what I am talking about (and I am not sure I know what I am talking about) but the show basically 'Imagines what animals will be like in the future' if things keep evolving...

Before you think I am nuts and think this should be off topic... I will get to the point... Last week I think it was they showed a 'Land Optopie' or Land Squidy if you like.. Which shared a bit of a resemblance to the Martians in H.G.Wells' War Of The Worlds

Maybe the future is wild... If they are right... These things would make some NASTY Calamari

i remember seeing something about this topic many years ago! it displayed what was believed certain animals may evolve into.

That's the idea of it from what I gather...

The BBC [ can't remember if it was BBC1 or BBC2 ] put that show on here a few months ago. Not in a primetime slot but in the afternoon for some strange reason - so I missed it. Didn't even know it was on.
I think it was made by the people who did WALKING WITH DINOSAURS.

If it's not football, a soap or some tacky reality tv show it doesn't seem to get much attention on British tv lately.
Hope the new series of DOCTOR WHO changes that.

The strange thing is though they had loads of adverts for the dvd release around Xmas time but I don't recall the BBC advertising it like they did with WALKING WITH DINOSAURS when it was to be shown on tv.

It looked really interesting and the clips I saw of those octopoid things did remind me of Martians.

It's only really because of the ABC (Australian Broadcating Corp) That we get to see something that's not a cop show... CSI (Miami, LA NY Whatever), Law and Order (Criminal Intent, Special victims) There is a long list but it seems that every night there is another Cop show on... One of the chanels and it was possibly ABC was advertising for a night of NO cop shows LOL it's getting so bad... Speicaly when there are a dozen different Law and Order's and CSI's NCIS... it's a relief to see something else...

ABC is very BBC...

But who knows whats going to happen with the new serries of Doctor Who here... It could end up on one of the commercial chanels... Because the ABC is not committing a bid on it... Yet anyways...

Bayne was rather taken by the squids and there war of the worlds resemblences...
