...I really love 'The Life Collection' from David Attenborough. The complete series of 'Life in the Freezer' was the third dvd of the collection that I bought. The series itself has six episodes which are all on one disc. They were originally transmitted in 1993. The six episodes are: Episode 1: The Bountiful Sea - All about the Southern Antarctic Ocean and the species in it Episode 2: The Ice Retreats - About when Spring comes and the wildlife coming back to land to breed. Episode 3: The Race To Breed - How seals and penguins have to breed quickly before winter comes round again. Episode 4: The Door Closes - The disappearance of food as winter returns and how the wildlife have to migrate before this happens. Episode 5: The Big Freeze - How some animals stay and live in the extreme conditions and how life continues, against all the odds... Read review
