Planet Earth BBC1

Anyone watch this? Never seen anything quite so incredible. The photography is phenomenal.

[Mrs Trackside]

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

[chim_knee]

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.

[Eric Mc]

And it walked right into a tree.

Then, elephants don't have the best eyesight.

[shirkin]

That was hilarious.

[aspender]

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.

[peterpeter]

it was fantastic.


Worth the licence fee alone.

[Eric Mc]

BBC Bristol triumphs again.

[The Dude]

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.

[Raify]

btw, the website is pretty good with some footage to watch.

The Angel Falls piece on the website is stunning.
