Great show, with focus on freshwater this week.

Some lovely shots of Lake Malawi and its many Cichlids (pronounced "Sick-Lids" by Sir David which surprised me - I thought they were "Chitch-Lids"). Also some great footage of the Amazon etc. with Piranhas feeding (on poor little tetras by the looks of things!)

Anyone else see this?
