BBC’s Natural History Unit: Life

written by travel67

Life by the BBC Natural History Unit (Blu-ray)

Today, June 1st, sees the U.S. release of “Life” the latest series by the BBC Natural History Unit. If you’ve already seen Blue Planet, or Planet Earth you will be well aware of just how good these productions are. I grew up on these programs, they inspired me to study ecology at university, they inspired my love of travel, and now they inspire me to get out into the world and take photographs. I can not recommend them more highly.

Both Blu-ray and DVD versions come in two variations Life (narrated by David Attenborough) and Life (narrated by Oprah Winfrey). I’m a fan of Oprah but for me (and probably a large proportion of the British public) Attenborough is a broadcasting icon beyond compare, so I know which version I’ll order.

Oprah, seriously? When David Attenborough is available? “Life on Earth”, the TV series and the subsequent book, was part reason why I ended up in science. He could recite my shopping list and make it sound fascinating.
