Anyone else been watching this brilliant series?

The photography is spectacular, the birds, insects and animals magnificent and David Attenborough's commentary is inspired.

Hi David....best program on the TV....The photography is amazing and having an insight into how they get the footage really dose show the highs and lows of making such programs.

Yes, agree it's really well done but I always think the "Diary" bits they tack onto the end of a lot of these programmes these days is a bit of a cop-out. It just ends up repeating quite a lot of what has gone before and means they have 10 minutes less of the actual programme to fill !

The photography is brilliant, but I'm a bit wildlifed out. Especially when they start eating one another. But at least Attenborough doesn't give all the animals silly pet names like some other programmes
