The first time I saw it - in my wannabe-nature-cameraman kind of way - I couldn't work out how they'd got such brilliant angles of the penguins in flight.
Then it slowly dawned on me that this is the one day in the year where maybe, just maybe, Bill Turnbull was sitting on his comfy BBC Breakfast sofa and lying through his teeth.
But I'm still left wondering if the British National Party's web staff have realised the gag. In an article billed just beneath a story entitled "Immigration: What is it good for?", we find a man named Chris Brown agog at the penguin footage:
"A non political story that is truly amazing. The pictures and video clip of this historical discovery really do have to be seen to be believed!!"
I first saw this story here, not on the BBC’s website or elsewhere.
I felt quite pleased with myself because I fell for it for all of two seconds, but I realised it just wasn’t true!
On the subject of April Fools’ Day, my mother thought people were joking today when she managed to get doctor’s and hospital appointments booked for this week after receiving telephone calls today! Mum will see her GP and a consultant within days of each other, having expected to wait week for the consultant and not be able to book a doctor’s appointment in advance. With our local GP surgery of late, booking appointments beyond the day of booking has not been possible – advance appointments are just not available.
