Customer Reviews

A great gift from BBC, not only for UK audience...
This is one of the best dvd set I've bought so far... It includes most of the documentaries of one of the greatest English broadcaster. The image quality is quite good, considering that some of the material is nearly 30 years old. A suggestion for potential Italian buyers: the series is subtitled and Sir Attenborough speaks with a perfect classical British pronunciation that everyone can easily understand, even if he/she is non native English speaking.

David Attenborough box set
I'll keep it brief- If you are interested in the subject matter, you will be absolutely rivetted. If not, you will find yourself captivated anyway ! David Attenborough presents a wonderful outlook on life throughout the series,harsh sometimes, but nevertheless true. If you cannot afford to take your kids to these exotic places to learn about animals in all their forms, FOR ONCE, SIT THEM IN FRONT OF THE T.V.! This is money invested for your ankle-biters. I own all the series in separate forms, and my [...]loves the sea ones best! Look at the separate series if your'e not sure, but you wont regret it. Top Viewing and better than "reality tv" any day of the week. pete, The uk.

American Fans READ THIS...
I'm writing this for other American fans of David who are frustrated with the pickings we get of David (Life On Earth has NEVER come to us on DVD, nor Life of Plants, or Trials of Life, etc.). Well, you CAN enjoy his Region 2 catalog of videos (I'm watching Attenborough in Paradise right now :0), as well as all the other DVDs available in the UK. How? By purchasing a multi-region DVD player. These players play Region 1 (US) as well as other regions (such as Region 2, Europe). My player plays all regions (and no, I did not have to buy another TV). You can find them on the internet... even at Amazon.com (USA)! Mine was ordered through Amazon for $104.00 and arrived within the week. I also ordered The Life Collection, Attenborough in Paradise, and Lost Worlds/Vanished Lives. Quality? NO DIFFERENCE!!! Enjoy.
