Planet Earth

IMDB




This is perfect, just perfect
If you saw The Blue Planet this one is also a must see

Another amazing documentary. You think you've seen it all, but with this documentary, it goes from surprises to surprises with animals you even didn't suspect the existence or filmed in never ever shown way. The filming is stunning

A MUST SEE

Only watched 3 episodes and already give it a

After each episode there is some sort of Diaries where the makers explained how they got their footage, very nice!

From Pole to Pole
From Pole to Pole introduces the ultimate portrait of our planet by looking at our planet as a whole and considering the key factors that have shaped its natural history. Without freshwater there is no life on the land, while the sun dominates the lives of all animals and plants on Earth and defines their habitats.


Mountains
Humans like to think that once they've climbed a peak, they've somehow conquered it. But they can only ever be visitors to this hostile world


Fresh Water
Just three per cent of the Planet's water is fresh water and it is our most precious resource. Where it flows or falls it controls the distribution of all terrestrial life.
Planet Earth follows the descent of rivers from their mountain sources to the sea and showcases the unique and dramatic wildlife found within its unexplored waters


Caves
Caves are Planet Earth's final frontier and this programme will go where few have been before.
Caves are one of the only habitats not directly driven by sunlight but this doesn't mean there's no wildlife


Deserts
When astronauts peer down on Planet Earth, the one environment they all notice are the deserts, which make up a staggering 30 per cent of the land's surface. From space they look empty and lifeless. A closer look reveals a very different picture.


Ice Worlds
As the sun abandons one pole and journeys to the other, these frozen worlds undergo the most extreme seasonal transformation on the planet – from the total darkness and numbing temperatures of the polar winter to the midnight sun of the summer, when the sun never sets


Great Plains
The vast open wildernesses of African savannah, Asian steppe, Arctic tundra and North American prairie are the great plains of the planet.
Together they cover more than a quarter of the land on Earth and one living thing is at their heart – grass. This humble plant feeds the greatest gatherings of wildlife found anywhere on Earth


Jungles
Jungles cover roughly three per cent of our planet yet contain a staggering 50 per cent of the world's species.
Located around the warm, sunny equatorial zone, complete with constant daylight, they are the most productive habitats on earth.


Shallow Seas
Following a humpback whale mother and calf on their epic journey across the richest seas that fringe the coasts, Shallow Seas reveals seas of great contrast and surprise along the continental shelf.


Seasonal Forests
From the evergreen forests of the frozen north to the deciduous dry forests of the equator, Seasonal Forests reveals the greatest woodlands on earth


Ocean Deep
Oceans cover two-thirds of the planet yet remain largely unexplored.
For animals that dwell on the surface, or within the deepest abyss, it's finding food and conserving energy that's paramount

I have to say, if I ever should see David in real life, I'll turn gay in a heartbeat

"And here, we encounter the wild Zeehond. See the splendor of his flowing mane. Watch how he readily bends over to do my bidding. Magnificent."

But seriously, beautiful series.
