I literally can’t wait for this, it looks like it will be stunning and great to see Dave is back to narrate. Should coincide nicely with me getting a 4k SUHD TV too….

Saw the trailer on BBC News, I drooled the breathtaking backgrounds and animals.

And also drooled thinking of the camera equipment used. Using my A7 and I could only dream of filming at that level.

Earth can be a nice place for holidays.

If I won the lottery this is what I would do set myself with the best filming gear and travel round the world. Dream Job by a long shot 🙂

I also got very excited at this.

The breaching great white sharks from the first series remains one of the greatest bits of filming I’ve ever seen.

The trailer came on earlier as the children finished watching another bbc natural history thing. They had just sat open mouthed in wonder, and did so again for the trailer.

Can
Not
Wait!

Llama, a friend of mine makes natural history shows, such as Galapagos. Well, he was a friend until the intense jealousy kicked in! 😉

It’s made me get my Blu Ray set of Planet Earth out of the cupboard – currently watching Desert Lions

will there be a 4k version ?

It’s filmed in 4k, but the BBC doesn’t yet have a 4k channel – I would imagine that it’s only a matter of time though, as the beeb were quick to take up the HD mantle. If not, hopefully it will be released on disc. We can only hope, as it is surely the least it deserves…

This makes me think – is there any documentary made anywhere in the world that is more visually stunning, with better cinematography and better narration than the Planet Earth collection? I doubt it…

better narration than the Planet Earth

now thats going to be a tin of nematodes…

Bump – starts tonight, 8pm BBC1, for anyone that’s interested

Oooh cheers!

No doubt I’ll have to suffer celebrities come baking factor jungle dance off.

Really excited about this. I am also going to make sure I sit the kids down and watch it with them on iplayer. I remember The Blue Planet when it was first on screens and it is one of the salient memories of my childhood.

Oh, and I saw a kingfisher for only the second time ever yesterday whilst out on my local Saturday morning ride. Chuffed to bits with that.

Recording set.
In glorious standard definition 🙁

Was just thinking I should bump this thread, and other have already done so!

Still….BUMP!

I’d completely forgot about this so thanks, recording set 😀

It has barely started and already I can’t get over how amazing this is.

No jiggy for mr sloth though! 😆

looking absolutely awesome on my stupid big 65″ tv

think I’m going to watch it over again

Stuff like this is what silly big HD tellies are made for.

SNAKE! SNAKE!

Holy crap. This is like a horror film!

Holy shit.

I’ve seen a lot of nature shows in my time but those snakes.. omfg.. they are absolutely horrific.

my god those snakes !!!

Snake vs iguana…. Awesome!

Well, anyone with a snake phobia will be having nightmares for weeks!

Those racer snakes – like tory politicians. Nasty wee barstewards.

Is there any thread that can stay away from politics? Dull.

Those snakes are messed up

Another wtf for the snakes!!! And artist I only switched it on because of your Facebook post. Good work!

Anyway, off to troll Flashy with some politics on the ski and snowboard thread 👿

Noticed that they were saying Madagascar split away from Africa? some kind of #Afrexit? Good on em taking back control!

I wasn’t a huge fan of snakes in the first place – yikes! 😯

The snakes were like something from Greek mythology.

The penguin was playing the Gooseberry with those albatrosses, though.

Mexit, surely!?

I used to keep snakes, kings and corns, there’s something really honest about them. They are basically robots.

None of those penguins as a GoPro on. Just imagine the sick edits, braw!

Madagexit

Epic!

Amazing. My 13 year old didn’t touch his phone for a whole hour!
