It was like being back in sex ed class at school.
When Wednesday night’s episode of BBC Two’s Autumnwatch showed a clip of two deer mating, viewers of all ages couldn’t help taking to Twitter for a bit of a giggle.
OK, so it probably isn’t the last programme you would expect to present you with uncensored footage of animals getting freaky without warning, but at least it was after watershed. Just.
And, unsurprisingly, everyone loved it…
Shoutout to #Autumnwatch who just showed us deer bonking live on BBC 2. Laughing so hard.

Fantastic, hilarious #Autumnwatch: deerporn, spiders even I love, new species, seal pups, harrier chicks. ICYMI, did I mention the deer?
