Mega bugs with John Lydon is a different approach to a documentary on bugs than well-known and respected David Attenborough's "life in the undergrowth". It is humorous yet does not stray from the point, making it fun, as well as interesting and informative. A little heavy on slang and some inappropriate language for children, for those affected by that sort of thing, but the way John presents the documentary, and his soft hearted touch in the middle of it all, makes that point forgiveable. Very nice, and I look forward to more fun with John Lydon in the future.

Love him or hate him, there is no denying that John Lydon is a fantastic presenter on wildlife programmes. Granted, his approach is more primary school teacher than "David Attenbourgh". but i still found this DVD to be extremely interesting and very amusing. If you like John Lydon... BUY IT!! If not... Buy it anyways, he will grow on you... believe me!!!

I'm a Lydon fan and was excited (and slightly worried) when I heard he'd done a programme about bugs. I feel a little out of touch with bugs, when I was younger I loved learning about different 'creepy crawlies' from all around the world but I became more interested in animals as I grew older. (I know all this is kind of irrelevant). SO, I thought this series on bugs might enlighten me and being Lydon, it's sure to have some unexpected twists and turns.
It's fantastic. Unlike many documentary's each segment is in bite size pieces, packed with information throughout. Lydon has a refreshing take on presenting information, at the end of each episode he, in different ways, reminds us that this particular creature is essential and beautiful and plays an integral role in the world. Looking at both common and rare insects and bugs, he reminds us that something as taken for granted, like the fly, has a hugely important role. Also interesting are the flashes on philosophical pondering on the -usually destructive- role of humans in relation to the bug. Lydon himself is sometimes cringey but shows unusual sensitivity to many of the people in the series, I couldn't pick a favourite line by him because there's so many...! He may be crazy, but I love him, and you should too!
Overall an entertaining experience, I usually watch 2 in a row (oh, I love the titles too..nnyyyyyyyyweeeeeebmmmcchh). I've had this DVD a few years and brought it for around the price of a portion of chips (literally cheap as chips). The DVD case is awesome too. Highly recommended. :D
