TV Reviews: Planet Earth

Planet Earth is a truly impressive David Attenborough documentary.  Everybody knows and loves David Attenborough, and I think this offering is definitely among the best things he's ever done.   It takes us through some of the most interesting habitats on the planet and has some really extraordinary footage.   Each episode deals with a different type of environment, such as mountains, caves and deserts, and takes us to different kinds of each across the planet.   Each episode also has a charming little section at the end which gives us an insight into how some of the filming was done.   It's fascinating!   Some highlights for me include seeing Ethiopia's amazing volcanic landscape, snow leopards, the Pantanal, the Lechuguilla Cave, the Borneo rainforest, a baby humpback whale and undersea volcanoes.   Gorgeous and all very interesting!
