Summary: Somewhat Boring, Less Nature More Personal Bio
Comment: If you want to hear more about Attenborough's personal interests than a serious nature doco then get this, otherwise stick with the "Life X" series and the Planet Earth and my personal favorite Blue Planet programs. Trials of Life, Living Planet, Earth:a biography, BBC Wildlife specials, BBC Wild Africa are also great for the avid collector.

I thought it a little galling that he buys a statue from Sotheby's at a relatively low price and proceeds to use his program to try to prove it's really an ancient statue of the Easter Island natives God, thus making the price of his personal property go up in the process.

I wasn't interested in most of the other programs since they focus more on Attenborough himself than Nature. This guy is a TV guy with a passion for nature and one of the most iconic commentators around like Howard Cosell, Murray Walker, John Madden and others, but his primary talent is all I'm interested in: otherwise I'll go to Wikipedia or buy a biography.

Summary: Another Piece of Attenborough Magic
Comment: If you have seen Attenborough's classic, "The Private Life of Plants," (not yet available on DVD for our region!) you will surely enjoy this--another example of cinematic mastery in filming wildlife. Very appropriate and much enjoyed by elementary school students with delays in reading and language. The visual simply captivates them!

Summary: A Genius!
Comment: Practically everyone who loves Planet Earth doesn't know who David Attenborough is! What a tragedy. The fact that Sigorney Weaver narrated the Discovery Channel broadcast is obscene. Sir Attenborough is a genius of his time and we are lucky to have his talent available to us. This dvd is a tribute to him and a treat for us. Lots of previously hard to get documentaries and a biography are worth it and then some! If you love nature documentaries this is the ticket!

Summary: Excellent buy
Comment: I love David Attenborough's work and this DVD contains some of his early documentaries. It's a great one to add to your collection as they are well made even in the days before $10 million budgets were a matter of course.
The segments on the Birds of Paradise and meeting the Tribesmen in New Guinea alone are worth the price of this collection.

Summary: Personal Voyages
Comment: Did do care for personal voyages and telling of story along the way. I like more natural history scenery. More bird scenery and less traveling would made a better video.
