The programme is being presented by ex-Monty Python star Terry Jones,
who said: "We'd been watching the penguins and filming them for days,
without a hint of what was to come.

"But then the weather took a turn for the worse. It was quite amazing.
Rather than getting together in a huddle to protect themselves from the
cold, they did something quite unexpected, that no other penguins can
do."

BBC1 viewers will see the penguins not only take flight from the
Antarctic wastes, but fly thousands of miles to the Amazonian
rainforest to find winter sun.

"The film reveals nature's stunning glory in exciting and unexpected
ways, so much so that it defies belief," said Mr Jones.

"Not only does it create a vivid and emotional experience for the
viewer, it also illustrates just how bold and simple Darwin's idea of
natural selection was."

It's a highbrow joke. Get it?
