Are the first four all Attenborough? I think I've definitely seen the first three anyway, great shows and amazing photography, particularly for Life in The Undergrowth.
Attenborough only narrated Planet Earth and The Blue Planet, which were Alastair Fothergill productions.
Attenborough's last major series, Life in Cold Blood, comes out soon on BBC.
Yes, Life in the Undergrowth is superb, way better than Life in Cold Blood.
Yeah I haven't been as impressed with Life In Cold Blood, I dunno why but it doesn't have the same standard going on. Life in The Undergrowth was so unique that it was in a league of its own for me, the macro-photography was superb. The Blue Planet also gave an insight into a world which had almost never been seen before, and as for Planet Earth, the 2 mile cameras didn't disturb the animals at all and so gave perfect documentation, the elephants' attitudes and behaviour to each other were really quite touching.
