The Very Best Tweets About The Latest Episode Of Planet Earth

The BBC's latest version of the Planet Earth series has received widespread acclaim from viewers, and obviously once again taken social media by storm as we sat down with our hangovers still very fresh on Sunday night.

Here are the best tweets we found related to David Attenborough's latest animal kingdom adventure which had us glued to our screens, with the focus this week on Grasslands.

One of the highlights of the programme itself is the BBC Earth Twitter account's contributions, which had these unreal posts on Sunday's episode:

Match of the Day presenter and former professional footballer Gary Lineker pretty much summed up what we were all thinking:

What an utterly astounding programme #planetearth2 is. And what an utterly astounding planet we live on. Let's hope we don't f**k it up.

Former Made in Chelsea star Lucy Watson said some people should be get their jotters out:

The time and effort these animals put into impressing their mates, boys should take note ???? #planetearth2

One Twitter user managed to pay Attenborough the perfect compliment:

the man makes GRASS exciting #planetearth2

And another, slightly weirder compliment:

I could listen to Sir David Attenborough narrating birds trying to get laid forever. #PlanetEarth #PlanetEarth2

Northern Irish comedian Shane Todd reckons bison would be a good laugh:

Bison seem like good people. They wouldn't be mad craic, but they wouldn't let you down if you'd made plans #PlanetEarth

This tweeter encapsulated every Sunday night we've had the last few weeks:

On this colossally hungover day, only one thing can save me. #planetearth2. Also accepting help. So #sendhelp too.

And what we were all thinking during the buffalo/lion showdown:

When you want the hungry lions to be able to eat, but you also want the buffalo to escape #PlanetEarth2 problems

An emotional struggle to say the least.
