The Planets

In the last 40 years the planets have been revealed in their full glory unmasked by a ... more

fleet of satellites and interplanetary probes. And
the closer we look  the more astonishing they are:
Mars' deserts were once home to rivers and oceans;
on Jupiter wind speeds reach 10 000 kph (6 000
mph) and storms rage for centuries; Saturn is
surrounded by a swarm of 34 moons; and diamonds
are believed to rain from Neptune's blue skies.
Moving out from the Sun  every planet and moon is
visited in a journey that takes us a full light
year into space  out to the fringes of the solar
system where the Sun is no longer the brightest
star in the sky. With 200 spectacular images  "The
Planets" follows the tracks of robotic rovers over
Mars  plunges through Titan's atmosphere on the
back of the Hugyens probe  smashes into a comet
with Deep Impact  and voyages to the edge of our
solar system to discover the frozen planets that
lurk beyond the orbit of Pluto.

Explore the Solar System from your sofa

Advantages: Accessible to everyone yet not 'dumbed down'
Disadvantages: You need at least a casual interest in the exploration of the planets otherwise it is hard going

...to eagerly watch all of the BBC "Horizon" documentaries about space exploration, when the corporation commissioned this eight-part series back in the late 1990s to tell the story of the our Solar System, I was in seventh heaven.

This two-disc set has all eight 50 minute episodes (there are no extras accompanying them, but that is no great hardship). Arguably the most comprehensive account of the exploration of the Solar System, ...
...with leading scientists involved in the various missions.

The eight episodes are as follows:

"Different Worlds" - a look at space travel and the latest (for 1999) planetary exploration missions
"Terra Firma" - the story of the pioneering missions to Mars and Venus
"Giants" - the story of the Pioneer and Voyager missions to the Outer Planets
"Moon" - exploration ... more

Awesome Earth!

Advantages: wonderful documentary series
Disadvantages: none!

The Blue Planet was a wonderful documentary series narrated by the excellent David Attenborough, and first shown on the BBC in 2001. We enjoyed the series so much when it was shown that we subsequently bought the DVD and often enjoy watching the occasional episode. Now our daughters are growing up a bit they enjoy watching it too and on the whole it does make great family viewing. The Blue Planet series was five years in the making and is an exploration and study of all the earth's oceans and seas - hence the title. It is fascinating and informative and is totally absorbing to watch. We have got the three DVD box set which is what I am going to write about but it's also worth noting that there is also a 4DVD special edition set too. Whichever, you watch though, The Blue Planet provides wonderful viewing for any nature lover. There are ...

Review of The Blue Planet (DVD)

a short review of 'Planet Of The Apes' 2001 dvd

Advantages: a great 2 disk set
Disadvantages: 2 many extras

the mothership of the monkey training center that is on the planet but little does Leo know it will not be much help. At the end of the film Leo finds out that he isd not just on another planet, he has travelled in time and the mothership that followed him to rescue him ended up on the planet hundreds of years before leo did, I am not going to tell you all the plot because their are more twists and at the very end a big shock for Leo on earth.

Review of Planet Of The Apes (DVD)

Explore the wonders of nature....

Advantages: excellent footage/bonus material/educational
Disadvantages: can't think of any

xx-- My intro---xx An epic collection of five discs. The collection comprises of all of the Planet Earth episodes shown on BBC1 as well as a bonus -Planet Earth - the future. This bonus dvd accompanies the book of the same name and looks at saving species and asks the question do we face an extinction crisis. We also learn about how we can save certain species. xx--Bonus content--xx This bonus disk also looks at pollutiion, climate change and the growing human population -- all of which are putting pressure on to the natural wilderness. It delves into issues such as why previously uninhabited areas are paramount for our survival, as well as the survival of some of the worlds best known animal life. We also look at living together-the challenges facing the planet and living together in such remote areas in the 21st century ...
