Just came across this... it looks like it should be extremely good.
Here is the trailer:

I've seen the trailer for this series and it looks very good. However, how often is David Attenborough associated with a TV programme that isn't, at the very least, a visual treat?
I didn't watch the first one on chimpanzees partly because there have been many 'chimp' programmes but also because I find them more than just a bit scary. I used to think baboons were the most frightening primates - very quick, very strong, and not much in the way of social graces. Now I think chimpanzees might hold the top spot - everything a baboon has but with a better brain.
Sorry, I have derailed your thread.
I will be watching some of the others. The hunting dogs in particular.

No, I understand...! I am considering not watching the first one, because I seriously do not like monkeys of any sort. For me, they rank right up there with clowns in the scariness stakes. 
That old PG Tips ad used to be the stuff of nightmares as far as I was concerned. (People think they're cute?!) Never understood it.

Really enjoyed the first programme. Some poignant scenes. I've had wild Chimps screaming around me + had a couple come within a few metres of me in Kibale Forest, Uganda- such a humbling + terrific experience!

You are a lot braver than me!
Although I have said baboons scare me, I read about a safari where one of the camps is frequented by baboons.
The rule, which I read was very strictly enforced, was that under no circumstances was anyone to either leave any food in the open or EVER feed or attempt to feed a baboon.
Apparently the baboons were no problem there.
Also read(but don't know if it is correct), that in baboon society giving food is an indication that the one giving food is accepting they are of lower rank than the one taking the food, so feeding baboons instantly put you at the bottom of the order.
