Planet Earth is the best nature/wildlife series on the planet. No joke. This 11-parter, done as a partnership between the BBC and the Discovery Channel, is filled so many unimaginable images, startling behaviors, and high-definition eye candy, that you’ll finally be able to justify that HDTV purchase.
Thankfully, the entire series is now available on DVD (and Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD), and there’s an accompanying book to go along with it. If you missed a few parts, it’s time to catch up. If you missed the entire series, it’s your loss, because you’ll never again have the chance to say ‘wow’ so many times in a single hour. Want more? How about:
- $25 million budget
- Five years in production
- 2,000 days in the field
- 40 cameramen
- 200 locations
Seriously, if you haven’t seen it, do, because everyone else already has.

This was an astonishinly fantastic series. I found the tropic forest episode to be the best, with the segment about the (crazy) birds of paradise. Amazing stuff.
Will get around to picking up the DVD collection when it comes down in price. The series is still repeating on and off on BBC3.
