Summary: Unsurprising magic
Comment: Viewers lucky enough to have seen the series on BBC or the discovery Channel will already know what to expect from this series: the usual Attenborough magic. However, for those of us who live beyond the immediate reach of those broadcasters, the videos are a fantastic treat. As ever, photography is of dazzlingly high quality, and Mr. Attenborough's commentary the perfect example of how to popularise without patronising. Add to this his great personal, gentlemanly charm and the fact that he still puts himself (at his age) into the high arctic or beside a river full of salmon-bashing grizzly bears, and you have great TV. His energy and enthusiasm are catching, and an inspiration for those who dread getting old and crotchety and unable to do anything but complain about the world and pretend to be deaf.A fantastic series the whole family.
