has anyone been watching the mini series? its a bbc nature documentary that catches never before seen footage of wildlife all across the globe. the big deal about this for those who dont know, is with new camera technology it's enabled them to film from great distances. they've managed to film never before seen footage entirely in HD. i wonder how this was received in the u.k. i found some of the footage fascinating especially the panaroma shots taken. i'm definitely getting this on DVD... whenever i have enough money.

yes, it's fantastic. but i have to admit i haven't got much to add besides.
well, don't watch it on a regular tv. you'd miss out on all the glorious details. that's about it.

did you see the Jungle episode?! they had a black and blue bird where he dances and makes an illustrious image with his feathers?! that was fantastic! i forgot the name of that bird but that made my jaw dropped when i saw its mating call.

*checks hd* yep, seen it.
what really amazes me is that when i read the title of the episode, and i think "hmmm...'the great planes' that doesn't sound interesting at all", it nevertheless is. these series should have a wall of fame of its own.

The Planet Earth series is incredible. I don't have an HD TV; in fact it's an old 50 inch projection TV with a fairly bad picture, and even still the amazing camera work is more than adequate to make up for it. I can't imagine how great it must look in HD. If you buy one nature documentary series on DVD for your entire life, make it this one.

seasonal forests is one of the best david attenborough episodes ever, next to the first one from private life of plants, which is absolutely glorious.

It's been out on DVD over here in the UK since December. I picked it up for £25 in London just before Christmas. A great series.

I've really been getting into David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth. Looking forward to watching this series eventually too.
my TV is a Trinitron though. nice picture for a CRT but ya, gotta upgrade soon.
