Those paragliding guys are clearly insane and shouldn't be allowed out by themselves.

Wow episode 1 was great but **** me episode 2 is got to be the best hour of nature I ever seen, eagle's lol I seen a golden eagle as a kid ( I'm Scottish ) and the magnificent bird was bigger than me. I'm going online to there web page to grab a screen shot of the 2 eagle's coming down to fight for the fox to get a printed poster. And those skydivers are cra cra craaZzyy.

And snow leopards :-) amazing. Thank f for modern tech.
The camera work was out of this world tbh, dam, oh that's right BBCi player weeeeee.......
Feel bad for you guys watching in US as DA narrating is GOAT.
And yeah we got the climate messages too.

Those bears were loving it showing off ' tree hugging taking to a new level, hehe.

Yeah wtf I thought it would be Attenborough for all English speaking countries, the man's a legend.

Another great ep, was blown away by the agility of the ibexes.

The bear dancing was awesome, def going to see that for years to come as a gif

where are americans watching this? not seeing it on netflix, amazon, hulu, google play, etc.

don't mind paying but would prefer a 4k stream if available.

I remember Attenborough being annoyed that they edited out climate change from one of his shows, maybe Blue Planet? That was a few years ago though.

Yeah that's what I was referring to, although think it was a special tail end segment to Frozen Planet. This time the climate change stuff was part of the narrative of the main episode.

that was one of the greatest hours of television I have ever seen.

i am kinda surprised that anyone would think ep 2 > ep 1, but each to their own. with that said, rbk you are the king of hyperbole.

squashington, this is airing on the bbc and is only (legally) available on bbc tv and bbc iplayer. and whilst it was filmed in 4k, currently it's not being shown in that format.

from wiki

Anyone else presume the eagle footage was filmed by attaching a miniature camera to an eagle? Why didn't they do that?

What was odd was they had a shot where there definitely was a camera on the eagle, then they never mentioned it in the post diary bit.

It was possibly footage from another shoot or something?

yeah, was a bit weird. i imagine it had to have been new footage filmed specifically for the show, but they probably didn't go into it because it's not super interesting. strap a go pro to a trained eagle and let it fly.

Tbh yes, my dad thought it was filmed using a drone.
I also thought that the ibexe was jumping to the 1st rock lol my bad.

Does attaching a go-pro to Golden Eagle's going at 200 mhp work?

I remember seeing an episode of Frozen Planet in America a few years back and they didn't have Attenborough as the narrator. I just turned it off and didn't bother watching

The rescue of the girl spider-monkey bit was amazing.

DA is really having a go at human beings this series with the climate change and deforestation remarks.

Today's episode was my favourite so far. The lions chasing the giraffe and the mustangs fighting were both awesome.

Yeh that whole episode was brilliant. Also, I'd happily watch another whole hour documentary on just the filming.

There's always at least one jaw-dropping moment. The locust swarm was incredible and scary. Fight between the bat and the scorpion was like an action flick.

The grouse were pretty hardcore too. 120 mile round trip (half of which they carry 40% of their weight in water) EVERY DAY for two months to keep their chicks alive. Oh and having to avoid being eaten by Harris hawks.

Life is a grind for those poor sods.

at this point you have to include planet earth on the list of GOAT tv shows.

I could watch em forever.

If you've not seen them, all his nature documentaries are incredible. Even the really old ones, which may not be quite as pretty, are still amazingly shot, and just as fascinating.

A few of the more recent and acclaimed ones are - The Blue Planet, Africa, Life, Frozen Planet.

With Xmas coming up, this also makes an awesome present (do people still have DVD players?) - The Life Collection

What about the poor oul beetle - treks up 2 Everests to get a bit of water and then on the way down gets sucked up lol
