Is there anything this man isn't involved that isn't interesting and exciting.

This is a fantastic collection. Having watched all the tapes, I can honestly say this collection is definately value for money.

Starting with Life In The Freezer, David Attenborough and a team of 20 others spent 3 years filming this inhospitable landscape and they gave us some fantastic footage. As with all his presentations he comes across as being excited about the subject, and that entusiasm is is catching.

Life of Birds is a varied look at the different aspects of birds. He has done for natural history what Patrick Moore has done for astronomy. The filming, of course is, fantastic. One of the other pluses of these documenteries is the fact that they are so colourful. I can visit places where no one has been before without having to leave the confines of room. (Maybe someone ought to suggest that those who are stuck at airports waiting for that delayed flight sit and watch these tapes. Less frustrating).

Finally we come to the 'Trials of Life'. This is the gem of the collection. Starting out with what they term as 'Arriving' right through to 'Continuing The Line' you the viewer are transported to various different places and see different events that scientists are only begining to understand. The filming is first class, of course, as well as the presentation. When I watched this again I was completly spell bound at how little I know about my own planet. And yet we want to know is there life out there in space, why not try and learn a little about what is going on down here.

The earth is a fragile place and needs to be understood more. This box set goes a long way to doing that. And at 17 hours for the whole set, you can't go far wrong.

Buy and enjoy. You won't regret it.
