Advantages: Every bit of this documentary series is amazing Disadvantages: The menu is akward but it is worth waiting for.
Spectacular!! i thought i knew a few things about birds...
I have a long and strong interest in birds, with two pet sparrows, other close bird interests, and hundreds of hours studying robins,crows swifts, gulls,peacocks etc . Birds have been the main focus of my artwork. So i expected to enjoy the series but maybe not find a lot of new or surprising information. Wrong! Most of the content so far has been new to me, either species i had never heard ... ...i did know something about. After renting and watching half of the first DVD, i ordered the whole set. This will be one of the few that i will watch, and show to friends, over and over.
I can't speak directly for people who think they have no interest in birds, but that should be no deterrent. If you have any interest in the world around you, watch this video.
The videography is breathtaking; narration is great; story interest, and organization ...
Advantages: Beautifully made Disadvantages: not long enough
What a beautifully made documentary. You can really lose yourself in the sceneries you see on screen and before you know it your booking an adventure holiday to the congo. Sir David Attenborough brings such charisma and passion forward you wish to be in his shoes. My personal favourite moment is when Sir Attenborough is with the gorillas-what magnificent animals, you can really see their different personalities and facial expressions. Sir David manages ... ...animals.
I can not say there is anything I disliked about 'Great Wildlife Moments' apart from the horrid thought that most of the animals featured will be extinct in 20 years!

Advantages: So educational and interesting. Beautiful footage Disadvantages: None what so ever!
...for my boyfriend of 'The Life of Mammals'. We went a bit David Attenborough crazy and decided we were going to buy all of 'The Life Collection' series. This was the second box set from David Attenborough that we bought.
This series basically tells us about the development of life on our planet over 3.5 billion years! It is an amazing piece of work.

Advantages: Stunning aerial sequences, great score, entertaining account Disadvantages: Too many cooks
The 1969 all-star big budget extravaganza 'The Battle of Britain' is recently arrived to DVD, albeit on region 1 only for the moment. Never fear though, it's an MGM release, and region 2 releases are never too far behind.
It's arrival on DVD is extremely welcome, as a buffed up widescreen print finally allows one to be totally smitten with the flying sequences. Presented as intended, and making full use of the scope process, the air battles are ... ...Hamilton (Goldfinger, The Ipcress File) brings the same effortless flow to the film that he used succesfully in his 1964 Bond outing. In recounting the heroic efforts of both the RAF and the Luftwaffe, he never lets the action overwhelm the story, while equally he never lets historical fact bog down a 133 minute production. Wilfred Greatorex and James Kennaway have assembled a mostly hit but sometimes miss screenplay, often bending the truth and ...
Advantages: Beautiful footage, educational, interesting Disadvantages: I want more episodes!!
...our favourite documentaries came from the life of mammals series, so I decided to buy my boyfriend the complete 'The Life of Mammals' box set for his birthday.
The box set itself comes in a cardboard sleeve, and the inside of the box set containing the dvds unfolds so that you can see all of the dvds at the same time. The front cover of the box set has a picture of a tiger on the front of it surrounded by some water and in big letters at the top ... ...bottom 'David Attenborough'
