0:02And I was just about to start talking

0:04when I felt a hand come on on on my head

0:08and she twisted my head so she could

0:11look straight in my eyes.

0:15After months of planning, we traveled to

0:18Rwanda for one of the last shoots of the

0:22series.

0:24We had no idea what we were about to

0:27witness.

0:35There's one ape, however, that spends

0:37nearly all its time on the ground. It

0:40lives here 10,000 ft up on the flanks of

0:43the volcanoes of central Africa on the

0:45borders of Rwanda and Zire.

0:49The gorilla,

0:51you don't stare at a gorilla. That's a

0:54challenging thing to do. So you keep

0:56your head down and you make these those

0:59vocalizations

1:01all the time

1:06and that's a sort of conversational

1:09acknowledgement that you're in their

1:11presence.

1:14It seems really very unfair that man

1:18should have chosen the gorilla to

1:20symbolize all that is aggressive and

1:23violent when that's the one thing that

1:26the gorilla is not and that we are.

1:30And John said go over there and when you

1:34get to them start talking about the

1:37thumb and the forefinger and how it was

1:40important to grip things right. I said,

1:44>> next thing we know is that her two

1:46youngsters come out and actually sit on

1:50him.

1:58There was a moment when you could barely

2:01only saw the top of David's head,

2:03literally.

2:05And my jaw dropped. I mean, everyone's

2:07jaw dropped. Didn't expect this at all.

2:15I honestly don't know how long it was. I

2:18suspect it was about 10 minutes or

2:20quarter even quarter of an hour. I was

2:22simp simply transported. I mean, you

2:25just didn't encounter time. this is

2:27extraordinary acceptance.

2:39And I was just about to start talking

2:41about the the opposition of the thumb

2:42and the forefinger when I felt a hand

2:45come out on on my head. And it was a

2:49adult female and she twisted my head so

2:53she could look straight in my eyes and

2:56looked inside my mouth and put a finger

2:58in my mouth

3:00and then made this belch vocalization.

3:03So I did my best best to respond and you

3:06saw her look into one of his eye and

3:10then into his other arm and I thought my

3:12god his head's going to come off and we

3:14haven't finished the series yet which

3:16was a very uncharitable thing to think

3:19and I left called back through the

3:23underest and I said

3:25that was one of the most extraordinary

3:27moments of my life. Was it wonderful? He

3:29said well we got a got a bit.

3:32I said, "Only a bit?" He said, "Well,

3:34yes." I was waiting for you. I don't

3:36want to run a film when you're in the

3:37middle of explaining about the thumb and

3:39the forefinger.

3:46Extraordinary really. I mean, it was one

3:48of the most privileged moments of our

3:51life really.
