A beautiful DVD in every way.Wonderful Scenery and commentary.I watched this film in Blue Ray and it really was so interesting and the filming was just gorgeous in every way.BBC really are the masters in this genre.
Highly recommended.

I bought this hoping for transfixing images and fascinating detail but, sadly, a lot of the imagery is quite 'flat', sorry I can't think of another word to describe it, and doesn't do justice to all the work that seems to have gone into it.
As a Briton I have always been proud of the production values of everything the BBC has done in terms of Nature productions but this one simply doesn't get anywhere near the greats. The content (i.e. potential) is absolutely superb but HD is largely *not* value-added - I doubt that it has much to do with the 1080i vs 1080p production (why did I spend all that extra money on a 1080p TV for new Blu-Ray discs *not* to exploit it!!??). A number of the panning shots are jerky and colours are very often rendered in shades of dull.....*very* dull!
Bernard Hill as commentator? A great actor whose work I have watched and admired for many, many years but he is an absolutely inappropriate choice for this voiceover. He doesn't, at any time or in any way, imbue any of the enthusiasm or interest that David Attenborough does and that really detracts from the whole production.
Having said all this, at least the production treats the viewer as vaguely intelligent. It has *not* fallen to the child-appealing lows of some American productions i.e. continuous loud inappropriate music, "Gee Whizz" commentary, painfully repeated and slow motion-replays and "tell 'em what they're going to see; show 'em; tell 'em what they've seen" style of presentations.
Frustrating is perhaps the only "single word" review I can give - so much potential (everything appears to be there) but so badly executed. I am truly sorry to have to write this review in this way......

I viewed this documentary as a rental, and was pleased I did not purchase it.I watched it on 1080 full H.D. and found it overall very dull .
