HD TV

I've been watching Great Barrier Reef on BBC One it has been wonderful to watch with stunning photography and footage of creatures on or around the reef.

There were clips of when David Attenborough first filmed on the reef in the 1950s filmed in black and white which made me think, we are so lucky to be living in an age of such technology for both filming and broadcast. 

My grandparents had a black and white TV for years which could not receive BBC Two, when they eventually did have a colour TV my grandfather would not watch any Programs or films in black and white as he was paying for a colour licence!  I wonder how he would feel watching tonight's program in wonderful HD with black and white clips highlighting such a stark contrast which we just take for granted them days.

It's difficult not to feel positive when watching the mantra Ray's beefing cleaned by the fish at the reefs beauty salon.  I just love the narration of David Attenborough
