First, it needed to be cut quite a bit. But what really bothered me was Stephen Fry's self-centeredness. After the first episode, I guess someone else told him that we really didn't give a fig about how much he hated being there and would rather be home with his wi-fi. He had no truly justifiable reason to be there, rather than someone who knew something about the animals, other than that he had known a fairly well-known author who had been on the original trip, 20 years before. So after that first episode, he toned his self-focused commentary and whining down a bit and, instead, just kept gushing about how awesome the animals were. I was so put off by him and how special he obviously thinks he is that I couldn't even finish watching the series.
