Absolutely awesome. The shark bit was the best (but then I love sharks, so I may be a bit biased)

Totally agree. It was fantastic!

Interesting to see the camera equipment they used was originally developed for the military.

The poor baby elephant getting lost though. Heart breaking.

And it walked right into a tree.

Then, elephants don't have the best eyesight.

All filmed in High-Def, so will be stunning once released on BlueRay/HD-DVD.

I agree, mind-blowing photography! There are occasions when I feel proud to be British - and boy are we Brits good at making such documentaries.

Just astonishing.

Favourite bits have to be the birds of paradise and most of all the great white grabbing the seals - totally captured the ferocity and explosiveness of their attacks, ironically in slow motion.

Once again a total triumph for the team.

Arse, only realised today that it started yesterday.

Did anyone record it in an internet transferable way?

awesome programme, I enjoyed seeing the "making of/diary" bits as well, shows how much effort goes into getting a couple of minutes of footage.

The Angel Falls piece on the website is stunning.
