WOW, what a spectacular part of the world. Posthumous congratulations to you Malcolm,excellent television.
Purely Heavenly.
My only question, where in the heck do you spend eternity if that was your lot on earth?
RIP Malcolm.
Kind of sad watching the closing credits and footage, knowing that would be the last film he shot.
yeah, top bloke. he is true adventurer, no flash gear, not trying to flog you the latest lure or rod. His four legged best mate was with him in nearly every scene of that doco and i'm sure he was by his side at the end too.
I reckon Malcolm would say the big sky doesn't even compare to the Kimberley's
I tuned in late and now want to find out how I can see the whole film. It was terrific TV.
.
Always has been unique film by a bloke who has an uncanny ability to plant a hook in himself.
Its yet another tradgic end to an Australian icon, only this time he avoided meeting his end in the environment he filmed.
It will be a long time before I cook a camp oven meal around the campfire, without a pause and reflexion of all his adventures I saw on TV.
Rest in Peace 'ol mate!

Reflectiong now, I remember him saying in the doco the place where the tide was absolutly rushing and there were all those eddys and the 25kn winds was somewhere he always wanted to try. Well, he can have that one to himself, way too scary for this whimp.
We taped it as it's well past my nighty nights.Originally Posted by charleville
Yep, we still have a VCR
But I still haven't figured out how to programme it
So I have not seen it yet and probably will not get a chance until next week.
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
Top Doco , champion Bloke , hope they put more of his doco`s on telly,
Hey charleville Just copied this of the net....................
Due to an overwhelming response today from viewers, Channel Seven will encore the brand new Malcolm Douglas special The Wild and Dangerous Kimberley Coast on 7TWO next Friday October 1, at 7.30pm.
so hope your out of analogue`s past and into digital`s future with a set top box to enjoy it`s next screening. Cheers Andrew
Hmmm...I was a bit more critical than most. While I loved Malcom Douglas and his adventures I found last night's screening greatly lacking in continuity.
It was clear that a whole lot of 'random' footage had been put together to fill the hour. Very repetitive in parts and a quick change in Boondi halfway through before we got back to Boondi number 3 a little later....
Don't get me wrong, the footage was great, the info fantastic and the fishing outrageous - it was just not the complete neat package we usually see (for obvious reasons)...
Anyhoo RIP Malcom...

Could that be because that doco wasn't actually finished before Malcolm passed? I know that in some of his previous documentaries (like Malcolm Douglas In The Bush) it was filmed over a period of a few months, with him going back to his crocodile farm in between. I dunno though.
Some great scenes in it, I especially liked the two cobia over the stingray that almost attacked him.
RIP

I have one of those new fangled hard disk digital recording things but it is a mongrel of a thing in relation to setting the time at which to start recording. I bought a Samsung because the store did not have any Panasonics of the size that I wanted I am never gonna buy a Samsung anything again! (Well maybe not - I have an old Samsung TV that just won't die.)

If Charlie can't figure it out then it wasn't made to be. Those Koreans have gone where few will venture but I'd like to try one day.

I`ll never buy samsung again either.4 dvd players later I now have pioneer and it`s a ripper.
I see the Malcolm Douglas Box set of DVD`s is $1100
no it`s not a typo $1100 . crikeys.

I really enjoyed the doco
I couldn't get over the crocs he was catching and he insisted on removing the hook. I would have cut that off about 30 metres from the boat
And I was glad his mate let him get out of the way before releasing the swordfish or that could have been really painfull.
RIP a great man

Remember watching his doco's as young fella, really inspired me to see that part of the country. He never carried any flash new gear, just the essentials and the basics, really down to earth bloke.
As he called it last night "wait a while" country but who would care!!! Be worse places around to be stuck for a while.
