Originally broadcast in 1984, The Living Planet followed five years after David Attenborough's first wildlife blockbuster series, Life on Earth. This was an equally ambitious 12-part documentary that spanned the globe with portraits of each of the major geographical regions that offer a home to life. Attenborough demonstrates how even in the most hostile of environments, from the volcanic "Furnaces of the Earth" to "The Frozen World" of mountains and tundra, the Arctic and Antarctic, live maintains a foothold. He takes us to "The Northern Forests," the "Jungle," "Seas of Grass," and "The Baking Deserts" and, ever the genial host, details how, in all its endless diversity, life is ingeniously suited to its surroundings.

Through breathtaking imagery we meet our fellow inhabitants, from penguins to polar bears, lions to scorpions, oaks to eagles, and journey on to "The Open Ocean" and the "New Worlds," which mankind itself is rapidly fashioning through ever more radical technological change. The series ends with an impassioned environmental plea that rings even more urgent now than in 1984. --Gary S. Dalkin

Customer Reviews of The Living Planet - A Portrait of the Earth

Great nature film for it's generation, but showing it's age
The knowledge imparted and some of the footage is really great quality, but by today's standards the DVD's are no beginning to look a bit old.


Great Nature Collection on DVD
I just got this today on DVD. I never watched the show when it was on TV. I see from some of the other reviews that they changed it around on the DVD. So I really can't say anything about that sense I never saw it on PBS. Also in my opinon the video quality is fine to for an older program put on DVD.I do think it is a informative collection on the plants and animals on our plant. I think if you really love nature then you will love this DVD set. I just love the way it is packaged and it's case it comes in too. I like all the shows David Attenborough has done so this is one of the best.


A bad DVD transfer....
Well I have seen the DVD of this series and the film print was awful. Grainy picture and muted sound quality, it also looks like it was a badly edited american copy of this BBC series and it is a lousy cu. Warners has the nerve to show it like` this, Fools. Maybe you would be better off ging to Britan and buying the DVD staright there. Not this mess.
