"Gents, take a walk." The opening seconds of this reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean when they march underwater to the British ships.

David Attenborough reading his shopping list: brilliant. I have come to this store to buy food for the next two weeks. I will buy eggs for making omelets, chicken thighs for broiling, and milk for my tea, and many other things. These items I purchase today are likely to fill at least two or three large shopping bags and to cost me somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred quid, and sometimes even more. And in two weeks, I will be repeating this same process. Thus, is the cycle of life.

The Brits should be proud of their ability to create great documentaries. They outdid us yanks even during WW2. Although we beat them in the movie genre.
