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.

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.

How about in the "Jungles" one, where they show the birds of paradise and the males mating rituals. Ill try and find a clip, it was unbelievable. Took them months to get 5 minutes of footage.
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB8UodV_DJg
The last bird is awesome, the colours on its feathers look neon-like!

This product is definitely worthy of purchase. I really respect the amount of work they put into filming all those places. Pick up the BBC version unless you like Sigornia Weaver's voice.
