This box set should be compulsary viewing for everybody,it is that good.some of the imagery is jaw-dropping,awe-inspiring brilliance and there are another couple of moments which are shocking (lions and chimps) which leave you totally amazed at how diverse and surprising our fellow planet earth dwellers can be..5/5 doesnt do this series justice.buy it!!!!!!!

Planet Earth (2006) - *****
Fantastic camera work, wonderful glossy look soaked in class, as always - superb narration from David Attenborough. It is impossible to sing the praises of this monumental achievement in wildlife documentation enough. Each glorious eleven episodes has something that will surprise, entertain, astound or shock you. Whether it's the now world famous footage of a snow leopard, a great white shark leaping from the ocean surface and snatching an unsuspecting prey in it's mouth or the simple beauty of superb scenery, ranging from craggy mountains, lush jungles and the dark abyss of the deep ocean. Educational programming has never been more spectacular.

me and my mate were going on about how much of a legend david atenborough is and how detailed and soothing his programs are..he bought this box set and we watched the first episode it was first class and theres so many episodes focussing on different animals. i sound like im 60 yet only 25 but after youve partied hard on a weekend love a bit of the big atten on a sunday chill out to a must have.
