Customer Reviews

MEERKAT MANOR - SERIES 1
Absolutely awesome.

I caught a few of the programmes on the Animal Planet channel, whilst working overseas in Azerbaijan and got immediately hooked. I searched for about 3 months until I found the whole series had been released.

Simply breath-taking Natural History, up close and personnel.

A long term study has given a fascinating insight into the family life of these small desert dwelling creatures.

Thoroughly recommended for young and old.

Better then Eastenders!
This is the best soap opera I have seen in ages.

Great characters - drama, tragedy, comedy, cuteness - treachery, sneaky affairs, family arguments - it has everything you'd find in your daily soap, only better. Meercats are undeniably cute and each episode is compulsively addictive. Some how, it gets you to care about a bunch of furry critters.

I find myself laughing and crying over their antics. It isn't overtaken by cuteness - life in the desert is hard and there are many as many heart breaking moments as there are heart warming. This is after all, reality TV - a kind of soap opera big brother as it were. The fact that it is real and you know it makes Meercat Manor even more endearing because you can really care and become caught up with the intricate goings on of meercat society. (Not much different from out own!)

Narrated by Bill Nighy - which I find strangely appropriate. He has a good voice for storytelling - the narration after all creates the story and gives voice to the furry 'actors'.

so very sad.
what sad people watch this rubbish and to those people who make it. gezzzzzz. cant believe they name the little hamsters too
