Steve Irwin's "Crocodile Hunter" has to be the best show on Animal Planet. AP has a collection of your run of the mill animal documentaries, some of which are worth watching and some of which are just poorer versions of good programs you have seen already.

Animal Planet is part of the Discovery Networks group and as one might have already guessed, is a documentary channel with a primary focus on animals and nature. It has both series' like "Animal Cops Detroit" and "Crocodile Hunter" as well as the occasional one off documentaries, that follow the life of a particular species. Unfortunately, it is only available on Sky and not on freeview, but if you do have Sky then I would highly recommend tuning into this channel. Most programmes on Animal Planet are an hour long, and although there are often exciting new programmes, many of the shows are repeats, or documentaries that have been produced a ...  Read the complete review

Animal planet as the name suggests is a show that focuses on the subject of animals. The channel is only available on paid for digital TV and I watch it through my sky digital subscription. The channel has been around for years and I remember it was the first place I ever watched the legend that was Steve Irwin. The show crocodile hunter started out on this channel and really out Steve Irwin on the map and I think the world of conservation should thank animal planet for the work that has been done in the field. The channel now shows a whole new bunch of shows with some of my favourites including monkey business, animal cops and animal baby. The ...  Read the complete review

I must admit that i never really watch any other channel. I enjoy anything animal related and animal planet has it all. It has all your standerad types of programes. You see a lot on Sky the police video's and car chases, well animal plannet has their own form of this in Animal Cops Detroit and Animal Precinct. These programs follow the inspectors as they deal with cruelty and neglect in America. It it terrible to see how much some animals, in paticular dogs are treated. But the animal cops sort them out and rescue the animals and follow their recovery until they are better and rehomed. You've got your soaps too. Monkey Business and ...  Read the complete review

From The crisp snow that looks like icing sugar,to the flora and fauna of golds pinks and yellows,this channel provides breathtaking scenery. Included of course in all this variety of landscape are the animals of Scandinavia,this was included in just one program on the * Animal Planet* channel. I love this channel it has so much variety. I liked this particular program ,because i like to see animals in their natural settings. I also love Scandinavia,Lapland with the Reindeer and futher near Sweden are the Moose,it was funny to watch the Reindeer locking horns to win first place in the mating stakes. The scenery in the warmer ...  Read the complete review

So many programmes to choose from, many different news on offer, is available on Sky,has great soaps afternoons tend to be packed with repeats, not enough sport shown

Shows good oldies No info

Its and excellent entertainment channel for english viewers when you are abroad! none

the only thing in English in many European resorts too frothy to be a proper information service...but too disjointed to be a good at-a-glance guide to the news

Err some nice Girls on there Too many fkae t**tsCorny and cheaply made crap

Informative notes put up on screen Have to be into this politics lark to begin with really...
