If you were not fortunate enough to catch the aptly named “life after people” on TV last night you are in luck. I have compiled an accurate summary of the program in the following bullet-point list.

no people
lots of plants
buildings will fall down eventually
there may be animals in places that there aren’t now; eg: in the middle of Trafalgar square

see – Rhinos in the street – crazy!

Although the bit about animals could be absolute rubbish because this is assuming they escape from the zoo somehow.

That’s it really. I reckon if I had some editing skills I could probably get the program down to a mere 2 minute commercial-length piece of TV. Or maybe just a single still with caption:

Look! No people! Rusty car! Road with grass growing over it!

I think I’ll have to agree with Sam:

I reckon a monkey with a Mac could probably knock this out!

So not only do you waste your Sunday evening watching this crap, you then waste everyone else’s time during the breakfast/ scheduling meeting this morning discussing it, and now you waste more time writing about it… which wastes other people’s time as they read it!
That’s wasteful, G.

What’s more wasteful though is TV like this. I hate progs like this as they are so speculatively vague that it’s like listening to a politician trying to answer a question. Yeah, so animals could reclaim the world but what are the chances of mankind being wiped off the planet and the animals surviving? The most likely killer of mankind is itself. A by-product of whatever nuclear explosion/ greenhouse gas/ weird virus we end up killing ourselves with will likely wipe out most of the other animals on this planet too. Save for the insects. They’ll always survive. That’s why I kill spiders. ;-P
