This is absolutely incredible nature footage. BBC is unsurpassed - even with all the other excellent work out there by National Geographic, Nova, etc. BBC has recently re-released Planet Earth, Life (the newest series) and Blue Planet in conjunction with Discovery Channel. The old versions are narrated by David Attenborough and the new (Discovery Channel) versions are narrated by popular actors and TV personalities (Oprah Winfrey, Pierce Brosnan, etc). In this package, "Life" is narrated by Oprah Winfrey. WARNING: No one (including Oprah) can compare with David Attenborough when it comes to this type of narration. You may want to check out reviews for both(such as amazon.com) before you buy. I have listened to both... the same awesome footage is in both versions, which rates 5 stars, but I would hold off for the Attenborough version.
