Posted March 26, 200718 yr Anyone see this last night? It's a BBC-produced nature series...11 episodes, running on Sunday nights. They showed 3 last night, and I think they're showing 2 more each Sunday until the run ends. If you missed it and you want to check it out, last night's episodes will be reshown this coming Sunday starting at 11 AM, I believe. The whole thing was shot in high def, and it's probably even more amazing if you have high def TV, which I do not. But it's still pretty awesome on my crappy 13 inch box. Amazing stuff. If you're into nature shows at all, I give this my highest recommendation. Here's a clip of one of the highlights from the first episode. Obviously, the picture isn't as good as on TV, but you can get the general idea. This clip is narrated by David Attenborough for the BBC, but the American version had Sigourney Weaver do the narration. I think I like hers better; there's a bit more humor there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P85LoHftEKs
March 26, 200718 yr Last night was amazing the slow mo great white shark attack was the coolest thing I have ever seen more tonight! woot
March 26, 200718 yr Author I believe there is only more tonight if you did what I did, and only watched 1 or 2 episodes and DVR'd the rest. New eps on Sunday. That great white shark attack was pretty amazing. Damn, those things are scary.
March 27, 200718 yr It was unreal. The camera angles they had were nothing short of amazing. As soon as i get an HD tv will buy the box set. I cant wait for next week, they are doing desserts and tundras.
March 27, 200718 yr How about those freakin birds that dive like 60 ft under water? Unbelievable yea, the way the Dolphins and birds worked together was awesome I thought that Vampire Squid was nuts too
March 28, 200718 yr What about the snow leopard? That was pretty damn sweet. First time ever. very cool too

April 10, 200718 yr I saw parts of last week's episode. I found it ironic/funny after watching happy feet.... The part where they showed the seals catching the penguins and destroying the one.

April 23, 200718 yr Author I'm so behind on this. I've only seen the first 4. My DVR is almost 100% full with all the stuff I have to watch. I'm pretty sure there's actually 4 new hours tonight, though, including a Making Of.
