BBC Frozen Planet

[SpeedBash]

Came across this article regarding this new series which starts on Wednesday 26 October 2011.

Also found a couple of trailers: Trailer 1 & Trailer 2.

Programmes like this make me wish I had HD.

Looking forward to this.

I had a flick through the book that accompanies this series in Tesco today, full of fantastic images.

Hmm, wonder if this book is worth buying - there is a WHSmith £5 off books priced £10+ voucher doing the rounds at the moment.

Hopefully the airtime will include the now std "making of" bit at the end? I find that as amazing as the actual subject often !

I would certainly say so, I really wanted to buy it today but didn't have enough money on me. It was £14 in Tesco.

Can't bloody wait.

I live the Beeb / Attenborough wildlife series. Didn't realise the book was out so soon.

Was in my local Sainsburys earlier and took a look at the book and it does look good - it was the same price as Tesco.

May pop into my local WHSmith tomorrow to see how much they are doing it for.

If anyone else wants the WHSmith £5 voucher let me know and I will post a link.

I got "the look" from the missus when I said we had to be in by 9 tonight...

She's cool with nature programmes, but get's fed up when they all start eating each other...

[ajprice]

She gave planet dinosaur a miss then

I think someone should have a sweepstake on when global warming will be mentioned...

Attenborough is a believer of MMGW so I fear it might crop up.

From the BBC website:-

Beeb said:

Frozen Planet takes you on the ultimate polar expedition. This landmark series brings to the screen the frozen wildernesses of the Arctic and Antarctic as you have never seen them before, and may never see them again...

Sir David authors On Thin Ice, the seventh film of the series, which explores the effects of climate change on the polar regions and the lengths that scientists are going to, to understand it. Some regions, like the Antarctic Peninsula, have warmed significantly in the years since Sir David first visited them. He explores what this means, not just for the animals and people of the polar regions, but for the whole planet.

That time lapse of the glacier moving and then the iceberg forming!!

Incredible footage

Interesting how the last panicked bison isolated from the main group knocked over the younger one the wolves already had their teeth into as it ran past.

Herd, or self preservation?
