Product Description
BBC natural history producer Alastair Fothergill spent the last ten years producing two of the most stunningly beautiful series ever created, The Blue Planet: Seas of Life and Planet Earth. For the first time, these must-own programs will be offered together in special collector's gift set. Winner of two Emmy(R) Awards (Outstanding Cinematography - Non-Fiction and Outstanding Music Composition for George Fenton's score), The Blue Planet: Seas of Life is the definitive exploration of the marine world, chronicling the mysteries of the deep, coastline populations, sea mammals, tidal and climatic influences, and the complete biological system that relies on and revolves around the world's oceans. Planet Earth does for the entire world what The Blue Planet: Seas of Life did for the oceans. Using high definition photography and revolutionary ultra-high speed cameras, this is the ultimate portrait of our planet. This truly breathtaking television experience captures rare action, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highest artistic standard and truely enlightening content!, November 28, 2007

By	Olivia - See all my reviews

I watched many Planet Earth episodes on TV and when the combined series came out, I bought them in a heart beat.
Everytime I watched an episode, I felt an overwhelming sense of appreciation of this rich and spectacular place we live in and a strong conviction of helping to make sure that the beauty and the uniqueness of this place is preserved and cared for. The people who made these two series deserve the best credit for their high artistic standard, great technical execution and genuine communication of the facts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely awesome, January 23, 2008

By	S. Tackett (Joplin, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very smart purchase. when i first ordered, i was under the impression that i was getting the entire planet earth series plus extra footage and a few episodes of blue planet. i was completely wrong! it comes with the entire series of both shows and extras for both shows. everyone will find something to enjoy in one if not both of the shows. i highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sir David Attenborough's narrative is great, January 1, 2008

By	Blandyna Williams (Lincoln, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this set for my daughter, not realizing there was a difference between the BBC version (narrated by Sir David Attenborough) and the US version (narrated by Sigourney Weaver). She loves Attenborough's voice and presentation; much better than Ms. Weaver's, though hers is certainly well done.
