Throwback to when the BBC discovered a new colony of flying penguins
Walking in Antarctica between Adélies, Terry Jones says:
"We'd been watching the penguins and filming them for days, without a hint of what was to come. But then the weather took a turn for the worse. It was quite amazing. Rather than getting together in a huddle to protect themselves from the cold, they did something quite unexpected, that no other penguins can do."
–Πετάει ο πιγκουίνος;
–Πετάει!
–Μπα, πενήντα μέτρα κάνει και μετά πέφτει.

On 1 April 2008 rival newspapers The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mirror both published articles about the upcoming film. The Mirror ran the story on its front page, and in The Daily Telegraph the story was one of the most important of the day. The Daily Telegraph proclaimed that the BBC had "remarkable footage of penguins flying as part of its new natural history series, Miracles of Evolution."
Chris Tryhorn, a news editor for The Guardian, admitted that the story "gave him pause for thought" when two of his rivals, The Daily Mirror and The Daily Telegraph, published synchronized stories on such an important discovery. Tryhorn said that he started to put the pieces together based upon the publication date, Monty Python's Terry Jones being the host and the film maker being called Prof Alid Loyas. Tryhorn realised after noticing that Prof Alid Loyas was an anagram of "April Fools Day".
