What is not to dislike about this fantastic series. We brought this as it something you can watch over and pver and we thought it would be very educational for our son in years to come.
Fantastic photography, and very informative. A++++++++++

Excellent copy of the fantastic BBC series about the deep blue. The music is stunning as well as the images.

It’s hard to rain too many superlatives on The Blue Planet, surely one of the finest and most fascinating nature documentaries ever made. But nonetheless, we’re going to try.
Long in the making, the idea behind the show was to, using some cutting-edge technology, film previously unseen areas of the ocean, and to investigate life beneath the waves. And in doing so, it pretty much encompasses the full spectrum of creature size. From the staggering, gigantic whale of the first episode, through the miniscule life that’s documented as the programme progresses, it’s a jaw-dropping experience.

It’s also a very, very accessible one. Thanks to a diligent, warm narrative from Sir David Attenborough, there’s plenty of fact married up to the sheer spectacle of The Blue Planet, although in many ways the stunning photography almost needs no accompaniment. It’s timeless work, too, with immense rewatch value, uncovering both life that’s never been photographed previously while charting the habits of the more familiar. Icing The Blue Planet’s cake is a series of short pieces documenting just how some of the incredible pictures were captured, and these are almost as interesting as the main feature.

Enough of those superlatives, though. Because The Blue Planet simply demands to be seen and enjoyed. Prepare, like many before you, to be mesmerised.

I purchased this boxset after seeing the recent David Attenborough documentary "Life in Cold Blood" on BBC1. I have just finished watching the final episode having worked my way through the set over the last several weeks. The combination of stunning underwater camerawork combined with a dramatic soundtrack makes for truly unique experience. very relaxing to watch on a sunday evening. the episode dealing with deep sea life was particularly fascinating!!

amazing footage, amazing information, worth teh money and the wait...Absoloutly perfect- Attenbourgh at his height!The Blue Planet, the definitive exploration of the Earth's final frontier is now over. From the deep to the shore, from pole to pole it revealed extraordinary life and behaviour that had never before been filmed. In some cases the species were only recently known to scientists.

I LOVE PLANET EARTH TYPE AND 'COAST'..FILMS..SO BLUE PLANET IS A GREAT SEA LIFE , TO ADD TO MY SET..

great series which i entertaining for all ages. a real classic with excellent filming and unique images throughout.

This is the original TV series, which as you would expect from David Attenbourgh,is really great. The quality of the filming of the subject matter and the content,make this a really realistic experence.

Must see. Great fun to watch. Very informative too. It is so comprehensive that one must buy as a guide or a reference. This set of DVDs are valuable for all generations and for all groups.

It comes with slightly hefty price tag but I consider wirth buying.

I purchased the "Blue Planet" for my grandson on the occasion of his thirteenth birthday, as I knew he was keenly interested in wildlife facts.It proved to be a very popular gift, and to think that I had been able to buy it without leaving my house was very convenient, and I will certainly shop this way in future.
