pepe Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Any of you watching planet earth? Its been absolutely brilliant, I sit in amazement every week, Its also had heartbreaking moments, when the polar bear died Its at times like this when I"m glad I live in an age of television, who would have thought that such beautiful scenes could be shown in our own homes Its got my vote for best TV of the year!

Mrs Frugal Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's wonderful, isn't it. Trouble is, David Attenborough, interesting as he is, has one of those voices which lulls me to sleep! I struggle to stay awake as I'm loving the programme but inevitably nod off before the end! The polar bear was heartbreaking, poor thing, as were the baby penguins lost in the blizzard but other parts are just so breathtaking that I look forward to the next part each week. The boys are loving it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I ended up recording it last night as I was falling asleep too Kate. It really is my favourite programme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 It is wonderful,isn't it? Cleo has to watch it for her Science homework - how cool is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I haven't watched it but caught the bit with the big star fish, and they sped it up and all the little ones moved away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine C Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Brilliant programme! I particularly like the bit at the end where they go through the problems of filming the fantastic scenes, like last night all the days taken to get one shot of the great white shark getting his seal prey. The acknowledgement of the team -tinged with respect for the shark and at the same time sadness for the seal going about his/her business of getting a meal. And all the time having not intervene with nature. Same with all of the programmes with other animals in the series. Brings a great insight into nature to our living rooms.

chelsea Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I love animals, wonder at the amazment of nature, but cannot watch programmes like this, especially when lions are chasing baby antelopes, or anything dies..I know this is part and parcel of life..but too upsetting for me!

Egluntyne Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I was fascinated by the Dugong on last nights prog. Have heard of them but had never seen one. Pity they can't be adapted to eat lawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I thought it was terribly sad when the lions ate the baby elephant! unfortunately our Sky tv got stuck and I had to witness that scene. I did get over it somehow though by putting tv on mute and hiding behind a pillow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
