Tribe repeat? missed it!!

Bad news - it isn't and you missed a treat.

In the last series he stayed with the Suri tribe in Ethiopia and they kept harking on about a tribe called the Bume (sp!). They reckoned they ate babies etc.
Anyway, Parry decides he wants to stay with the Bume and off he goes. First thing - don't call them the Bume because it means smelly people, their real name is Nyangatom.
He became the chiefs son and this tribe lived in real squalor unlike the tribes that surrounded them who had running water etc. It soon became apparent that the Nyangatom were just defending their territory and what little they had from 10 enemy tribes that surrounded them.
Their main diet was a porridge like food and the blood out of the neck of a cow.
They also set one day a week to play games which weren't combatant like other tribes but fun for all the family.
it really showed the other side of the story.

Sorry you missed it and Digiguide doesn't show anytime in the future when its repeated. the closest you'll get is this but they are repeats -

I'm still to watch it, looks great though. I thoroughly enjoyed last years series - particularly the moment when he had to discover himself by eating the bark of that tree.

That was hilarious and very interesting - for me especially.

Ha, I remember my lecturer telling me about that. I missed that episode, coincidentally!

The thought of it made my mate and I feel a bit squeemish nontheless.
 
There was blood drinking and playing with AK47's, but most interesting for me is learning how these tribes interact with other local tribes in the area and why some are at a state of constant war... fascinating
 
I could contact bbc and ask them to send me a copy. It worked for the "somme" program..

nah.. i'll get over it. maybe it will show what happened last week at the beggining of next weeks show.. but if i miss that :mad:

remind me with an email lol
 
Great program! Bruce has some real big balls imo, the tribes seem to accept him so well. I also like it when they take the urine and he doesn't realise what they are saying lol.
