Has anyone else seen the trailers for [this](http://www.channel4.com/programmes/inside-natures-giants) new series?

It starts tonight and appears to involve dissecting some of the largest, most exotic animals to show how evolution has shaped their anatomy. Sounds great, but I can imagine some folk might be disturbed by the prospect of Richard Dawkins standing over an elephant cadaver, scalpel in hand, glint of atheistic fervour in his eye…
