EMPEROR penguins in the hit wildlife series Frozen Planet are given shots of whisky so they act-up for the cameras, it has been claimed.
An insider at BBC Carrigaline said their suspicions were first aroused when, alongside the usual specialist camera equipment, the group's baggage also included 60 bottles of Tesco own-brand Scotch.
The whistleblower said: "The thing that you have to remember about most wildlife is that it's piss-boring. Penguins especially.
"They normally just stand there and make a weird noise most of the time. We have to give them a bit of encouragement otherwise all the Baftas would go to ITV.
"So all that endless 'fighting over territory' they do is just bollocks. What usually happens is after nine hours of fuck all, the cameraman gives them two fingers of whisky.
"You'll be surprised how quickly they start 'fighting over territory' at that point.
"And that thing they do when they 'regurgitate food for their young' is not really regurgitation. It's actually caused by the fact that penguins are not supposed to drink whisky."
The source added: "I've got a friend at the Discovery Channel who says the dancing ones are all messed up on Mephedrone."
