This is a great dvd set. The narrator is Mrs. Weaver and she has just a wonderful way of talking. Love this!!!!

We searched high and low for the version of this with Sigourney Weaver as narrator in stead of Sir David. When we first saw it on tv, I just couldn't stay awake even if I really wanted to, and thought that this was actually kind of great. Something about her voice and narration that just switches my brain waves to REM I guess.
I also leave it on for my pets sometimes, but they sleep all the time anyway so it's hard to tell if this is the "Sigourney's voice effect".
Anyway, thrilled to find and acquire this version! Thanks Amazon! ;-)

When I bought Planet Earth in a DVD store i wasn't aware that there were two different narrators. i was so upset because i felt it lost that attention grabbing voice. Well that's why i ordered it again because although i love his British accent i couldn't handle not hearing Sigourney Weavers voice. Just youtube clips with him and her and you'll hear the difference she is much better for this type of show.
examples:
here are some links i found ..same shot almost the same music but a different feel.. Sigourney just gives more..check it yourself...
David Attenborough version (BBC)
[...]
Sigourney Weaver version (Discovery Channel)
[...]
(start it at 00:39 to 00:53)
Look i love everything Discovery, BBC, Nova, Science Channel, NATGEO and History Channel but i feel maybe the Discovery channel wanted to add more facts and kick it up with the music so its not so lame lol..Anyhow i hope they keep these shows coming because every time i am amazed.
Hope this helps

I purchased this product and it arrived within 3 days. It was packaged nicely and in perfect condition. I chose the Discovery Channel version because it contains extensive bonus footage and the soundtrack is more vibrant than the BBC version. Sigourney Weaver does a decent job narrarating. During the film, she offers inside information on how certain shots were made possible. These explanations prove insightful because some of the angles they shoot from are mind boggling! The picture is crisp and perfect, aside from underwater shots which tend to be a bit "grainy."
A few people mentioned how the BBC version comes in 1080p while the Discovery Channel is in 1080i. The issue brought up being that 1080p will display a slightly better picture. However, based on what I have read, any HD Tv should even out the difference and display either format with the same picture quality.

Besides being as healing as a visual spa experience, this series is testament to the staggering capacity of humans for sheer focus, dedication and empathy -- if they so choose. It was as awe-inspiring to learn what it took to produce a segment as it was to watch the finished product. This is for people who spend weeks never raising their eyes to the sky, never registering the natural sounds of the early morning, never experiencing the silences between the deadening assault of anthropogenic noise. Watch it to awaken more fully to the meaning of being alive, and to let that gratitude inform the choices you make.
I think the best recognition, the best award for the makers of this movie would be the knowledge that it motivated a great number of those who watched it to rein in mindless consumption, to become invested in consciously supporting preservation.

Having investigated these program discs, both the BBC BDs and the Discovery Channel's set are identical in imagery and transfer quality (1080i, not 1080p). But frankly, I have to say I find the Sigourney Weaver narration AND the completely different music score to be FAR superior to the bland, milquetoast British edition's sound (& I have both).
Just compare the difference in their respective teasers: vivacious & energetic versus sleep-inducing! The DC version's complete soundscape is dynamic and engaging, as well as more directly educational (Ms. Weaver's regular comments on how shots were achieved, etc.), and as much as I greatly respect and appreciate the decades of educational programming from both David Attenborough and the BBC Natural History Unit, I have to work to stay awake with their somewhat affected narration and sound design. If an exciting visual AND aural experience is what you look for in your BD collection, I highly recommend the Discovery Channel version of 'planet earth'.

I searched for quite a while to find this Blu-Ray version of Planet Earth with Sigourney Weaver as narrator. I much prefer her narration to David Attenborough's. This version is in 1080i, and personally, I don't think the sound or video quality could be much better. Sigourney Weaver's pleasant voice steers you along as different parts of the earth are explored. A large portion is devoted to animals seeking and catching their prey - nature in its raw form. This is only a 4-dvd set, but includes everything I wanted. There are some very good extras which tell and show how much time the photographers had to go through and the danger and obstacles they had to face in order to get the stunning footage. Very educational, as well as breathtaking.

I can't stand the BBC version of this show because of the narrator, he's just boring and it takes me out of the story and the editing is a little different along with a different opening title sequence. The Discovery channel version may cost more and be harder to find, but it's worth every penny. Sigourney Weaver's narration pulls me into the story more. The image quality is incredible, it makes it seem as if the the actual animal or plant is in your living room.
My advice, If you are figuring our which version to get: watch both versions of one episode (they most likely are on youtube at this point) and see which one you personally prefer and get that version. We all have our preference, mine is the discovery channel version.
