... at everything that lurks at the very bottom of the oceans and are things that many people would know little about and would never have seen. This has quite an eerie atmosphere at times and does not have the movement of some of the other episodes. Thirdly comes Open Ocean. This shows how predators track and attack their prey in the open ocean. This is followed by Frozen Seas which has to be my favourite as it features penguins. This is because it looks at life on Earth's two extremes - the Arctic and Antarctica. There a...more

The Blue Planet was a wonderful documentary series narrated by the excellent David Attenborough, and first shown on the BBC in 2001. We enjoyed the series so much when it was shown that we subsequently bought the DVD and often enjoy watching the occasional episode.
