Continuing my loosely flung together theme of smug self satified ‘joyful’ films I found on the web, the following peice of genius is something I only recently found – although has been doing the rounds for the last year or so. Initially used to promote the BBC’s iPlayer service, but also doing a fine job of showcasing the BBC’s wildlife programming and keeping ex-Python’s employed, it’s a marvellous bit of film making.

It’s probably worth noting at this point that I’ve had a long-held belief that penguins were always up to more than they were letting on- I mean, why would anything willingly live in such a cold environment unless they knew something we didn’t? Why would they favour swimming to such an extent that they effectively removed their ability to fly? (My answer – the Hollow Earth theory of an ancient civillisation inhabiting the inside of the planet is true – the Antarctic is the entrance to Paradise)

Seriously, I’ve bored people in pubs with this sort of chat.

(yes,  I know it’s fake. Happy April Fools and all that)
