At 00:00:06,520, Character said: This is planet Earth.

2
At 00:00:09,560, Character said: And this is planet Earth. So is this.

3
At 00:00:15,400, Character said: And so is this, too, but a bit closer up.

4
At 00:00:19,640, Character said: On land and in ocean,
there is an abundance of life,

5
At 00:00:24,560, Character said: without which this series
would never have been commissioned.

6
At 00:00:29,520, Character said: Now, after 23 years of painstaking work,

7
At 00:00:35,000, Character said: we have finally edited it.

8
At 00:00:38,400, Character said: And you are watching it.

9
At 00:00:41,280, Character said: This is Round Planet

10
At 00:00:46,040, Character said: The Story of Everything.

11
At 00:00:50,320, Character said: If you edit out humans and boring stuff.

12
At 00:00:57,840, Character said: This is Africa.

13
At 00:01:01,560, Character said: In the shadow of the mighty Ol Doinyo
Lengai volcano, an immense and fertile

14
At 00:01:07,720, Character said: grassland stretches 30,000 square
kilometres across Tanzania and Kenya.

15
At 00:01:17,280, Character said: Oh! Where… where’s the producer

16
At 00:01:20,600, Character said: My script is… oh… don’t worry,
don’t worry; I’ll just wing it.

17
At 00:01:25,560, Character said: I’ll wing it.
Come on big boy, here we go.

18
At 00:01:33,520, Character said: The Serengeti.
This vast and stunning landscape is home

19
At 00:01:39,120, Character said: to possibly more ungulates and cud
munchers than anywhere else on the planet,

20
At 00:01:45,120, Character said: including shitloads of wildebeest.

21
At 00:01:49,880, Character said: This is the story of their epic migration.

22
At 00:01:54,560, Character said: A circle of life.

23
At 00:02:03,160, Character said: That’s not a metaphor;
it’s an actual circle.

24
At 00:02:06,760, Character said: These prannies spend six months walking
around in a circle.

25
At 00:02:11,560, Character said: This is "The Greatest Journey on Earth".

26
At 00:02:17,200, Character said: Hmm.

27
At 00:02:19,000, Character said: And what about our ancestors walking all
that way from Africa, Tabitha?

28
At 00:02:22,800, Character said: Or when I did that fun run
to Great Yarmouth?

29
At 00:02:29,600, Character said: This species are known as
"brindled gnus".

30
At 00:02:34,080, Character said: Or "blue wildebeest".

31
At 00:02:36,240, Character said: Even though they are quite clearly brown.

32
At 00:02:44,000, Character said: It’s May.

33
At 00:02:45,560, Character said: The plains are verdant now,
but they’ll soon die back,

34
At 00:02:49,760, Character said: and this mega herd of over a million
wildebeest will have no choice

35
At 00:02:54,600, Character said: but to set
off on a life and death journey:

36
At 00:02:59,240, Character said: an epic quest for grass.

37
At 00:03:02,120, Character said: Much like my cameraman,
Garth Delaspong undertakes every Friday.

38
At 00:03:06,800, Character said: Still, he gets the job done.
Most of the time.

39
At 00:03:12,560, Character said: A treacherous
journey that will cover a thousand miles.

40
At 00:03:18,760, Character said: Oh, kilometres? Oh, yes, I see.

41
At 00:03:21,720, Character said: Yes, of course,
we’re all European, now, aren't we?

42
At 00:03:23,600, Character said: Yeah. So that’s, uh... minus the cross,
uh... times by four…

43
At 00:03:29,080, Character said: add the… and that’s…
and that’s a lot of kilometres.

44
At 00:03:35,640, Character said: So the wildebeest need to get
a certain number of steps in for the day.

45
At 00:03:40,840, Character said: My lovely wife’s always on at me about it.

46
At 00:03:43,240, Character said: I done it, darling!

47
At 00:03:44,520, Character said: I haven’t.

48
At 00:03:48,800, Character said: Over 200,000 jazzy zebras

49
At 00:03:51,920, Character said: and about half a million
Thomson’s gazelles join the parade.

50
At 00:03:58,320, Character said: Oh, I've no idea who Thomson is either,
but all his antelopes are loose.

51
At 00:04:07,040, Character said: Not all four-legged animals

52
At 00:04:09,000, Character said: on the Serengeti are
on this relatively long walk.

53
At 00:04:16,120, Character said: These cheetahs and lions are
staying behind to defend their territory.

54
At 00:04:22,200, Character said: To them,
these animals are walking sausages.

55
At 00:04:26,880, Character said: And lions like sausages.
So they are sad to see them go.

56
At 00:04:39,120, Character said: Back where the wildebeest started,

57
At 00:04:41,000, Character said: no gnus is good
news for these quelea birds.

58
At 00:04:46,240, Character said: Very good.

59
At 00:04:48,440, Character said: They have gathered together
to celebrate the start of the dry season.

60
At 00:04:53,760, Character said: Oh, talking of "dry",
can I have a top

61
At 00:04:56,600, Character said: Tabby?

62
At 00:04:58,560, Character said: As the temperature rises, the arid land
becomes laden with grass seed. To the queleas, the Serengeti is
now the world’s biggest little old lady,

63
At 00:05:10,040, Character said: putting out infinite bird food.

64
At 00:05:16,400, Character said: The sky turns black with birds.

65
At 00:05:19,280, Character said: If you tried to count them, you'd go mad.

66
At 00:05:22,280, Character said: I know I **.

67
At 00:05:26,280, Character said: In what appears a defensive measure,

68
At 00:05:28,400, Character said: the tiny birds gather
into the shape of larger animals.

69
At 00:05:33,680, Character said: A sky panther.

70
At 00:05:36,560, Character said: A horizon elephant.

71
At 00:05:43,080, Character said: Following the rain, the wildebeest take
the scenic route across the plains.

72
At 00:05:48,760, Character said: But here in Africa,
every route is a "scenic route".

73
At 00:05:55,200, Character said: Wildebeest do everything on the move.

74
At 00:05:58,280, Character said: Even mating.

75
At 00:06:00,400, Character said: To us,
the male wildebeest all look the same.

76
At 00:06:04,040, Character said: And to a female wildebeest,
they also all look the same.

77
At 00:06:08,080, Character said: So, to stand out from the crowd,
they don’t pretend to like French cinema.

78
At 00:06:14,440, Character said: They get a bit fighty.

79
At 00:06:17,400, Character said: Like the last time me and Packham rumbled

80
At 00:06:19,880, Character said: at the
Wildlife Presenter of the Year awards.

81
At 00:06:22,800, Character said: “Oh, look at me.
I’m Chris Packham with my lovely hair.”

82
At 00:06:27,720, Character said: The only reason he didn’t win all
the awards is because the last one

83
At 00:06:30,720, Character said: was for
Female Wildlife Presenter of the Year.

84
At 00:06:33,760, Character said: And even then, he came second.

85
At 00:06:36,400, Character said: -Alright! I’ll get on with it.

86
At 00:06:41,120, Character said: The male wildebeest work hard
to draw attention to themselves

87
At 00:06:45,360, Character said: and entice females
onto their patch of turf.

88
At 00:06:49,760, Character said: Personally,
my money’s on the one on the left.

89
At 00:06:53,000, Character said: Go on! Put some welly into it! In the
nads. Yeah, that’s the stuff.

90
At 00:07:00,000, Character said: Oh, it’s really quite erotically charged.

91
At 00:07:02,560, Character said: Hmm.

92
At 00:07:07,760, Character said: With a twitch of her tail, the
female signals to the male that he is in.

93
At 00:07:13,480, Character said: But he misses.

94
At 00:07:17,800, Character said: Well, we’ve all been there.

95
At 00:07:19,160, Character said: Yes, I...
Better luck next time.

96
At 00:07:24,720, Character said: Not that I think there’ll be a next time
once she’s told the rest of the girls.

97
At 00:07:29,920, Character said: Well, don’t worry, chap. Plenty more
wildebeest on the Serengeti.

98
At 00:07:41,080, Character said: By June, the females
are pregnant and the males exhausted.

99
At 00:07:46,000, Character said: And the ones that aren't are
just awkwardly hanging around.

100
At 00:08:01,960, Character said: Meanwhile,
back where the wildebeest started,

101
At 00:08:05,120, Character said: the dry season is now really starting
to grip.

102
At 00:08:09,600, Character said: Boredom is setting in. Loneliness.
Feelings of existential dread.

103
At 00:08:18,400, Character said: This giraffe is about to
melt into a puddle of camouflage.

104
At 00:08:24,000, Character said: This young lion
is hallucinating an ostrich.

105
At 00:08:28,800, Character said: Yeah, we’ve all been there too.

106
At 00:08:32,640, Character said: These acacia trees are one of the few
bits of greenery in this barren landscape.

107
At 00:08:39,920, Character said: They are spiky and unpleasant,
but these giraffes eat them all the same.

108
At 00:08:45,760, Character said: Their industrial strength teeth can grind
up the thorns.

109
At 00:08:50,440, Character said: And with half-metre long tongues,

110
At 00:08:52,120, Character said: they can reach higher
than any other animal in the Serengeti.

111
At 00:08:58,040, Character said: What?
He’s going in for seconds?

112
At 00:09:00,320, Character said: Huh, he’s g***t neck.
Down to his arse, it would seem.

113
At 00:09:08,400, Character said: It’s now September.

114
At 00:09:11,400, Character said: I mean, we call it "September", but
wildebeest don’t really see it that way.

115
