It's worth the purchase price

My favourite series. Well worth purchasing, it is a piece of history, an amazing look at our planet before we really fuck things up permanently.
David Attenborough is the man, man.

I got the set for Christmas. It is the most unbelievable footage i have ever seen.
Namely, the base jumpers jumping into the massive cave. My god.
Definitely worth purchasing.
About the only thing i can stand to watch whilst tripping, simply stunning.

Totally worth buying, it's AMAZING. It's the only reason I wish I had a bigger TV.
Also, is it totally wrong that I think David Attenborough's voice is hot?

I'll echo the prevailing sentiment. Having purchased this when it was first available (and paying about 33% more than they're selling it for now!), I'm still satisfied and would do it again. An excellent series of beautiful worldly video.

I know, it's amazing eh. I was like when I first saw that. Apparently this is the first video footage ever taken of snow leopards before (edit: in the wild). This is why I love Planet Earth so much--every show has at least one short clip that took them months of groudbreaking, near-impossible work to film. It's amazing.

Yeah man, the 'diaries' section of each episode is the coolest. The one with the piranhas is amazing, too.
