Extinct

Just wondered if anybody has been / is watching 'Extinct' and if so which of the endagered animals they'd most like to see helped out ?

Have to say I watched the first 20 minutes of the first one and switched off.

There's something about it that doesn't sit right with me.

I agree - it's perhaps in 'poor taste' but at the end of the day....if a bit of cash goes to help and the programme helps raise awareness then i'm all in favour of it.

I know I shouldn't comment since I've missed it, but why do you think its in poor taste?

From what I have seen from the trailors, it was highlighting the needs, not only of these animals, but also the charities that are trying to help them from extinction. So is this the case, or is something else going on that I am no aware of?

As i said, i did not see it myself but the advert i saw for it said "which animal will you save" so it sounded like and "animal idol" type program and a cheap stunt for veiwers.
They could have highlighted their plight by putting on a documentry each night.
