Transporting you to the surface of these dynamic worlds to witness the moments of high drama that shaped each one, The Planets reveals how the latest science allows us to unlock their past lives. It pieces together clues of magnificent lost waterfalls on Mars, the mass planetary migrations as they jostled for position early in their history, and even the distant fate of Saturn as one of its moons awakens to form a beautiful water world.
Planet Earth
Planet Earth 2
David Attenborough's natural history exploration into life in the Antarctic. Unique filming of some of the largest, smallest, sturdiest mammals who survive sub-zero temperatures, biting winds and a changing ecology. The series also looks at the role of the ocean as both challenge and home to marine animals; the cruel effects of the Antarctic winter on shelter and food supplies; and finally the great expeditions by Man to reach the South Pole.
The complete series presented by David Attenborough, exploring the extraordinary world of insects and invertebrates. For every one human being, there are 200 million insects, and our planet's ecology is entirely dependent on their existence. In this series, Attenborough uses groundbreaking and sophisticated new camera techniques to investigate how insects first developed, how they adapted to winged flight, how silk became essential to invertebrate survival, and how insects reproduce and managed to develop the most complex social groups in the animal kingdom. Episodes are: 'Invasion of the Land'; 'Taking to the Air'; 'The Silk Spinners'; 'Intimate Relations'; and 'Supersocieties'.
The complete wildlife series presented by David Attenborough. Since it was first transmitted in 1979, the photography in 'Life on Earth' has left viewers marvelling at both the incredible variety of the planet's wildlife and the great advances in wildlife filming techniques which made the series possible.
David Attenborough takes the viewer on a guided tour of plants' lives: travelling, growing, flowering, their struggle with other plants and animals, and the ingenious ways they adapt to even the harshest conditions. Using time-lapse photography the programme shows us top plant-life action.

The episodes comprise: 'From Pole to Pole', 'Mountains', 'Fresh Water', 'Caves', 'Deserts', 'Ice Worlds', 'Great Plains', 'Jungles', 'Shallow Seas', 'Seasonal Forests' and 'Ocean Deep'. 'Frozen Planet' (2011) explores the polar extremes, capturing life in the Arctic and Antarctic and taking a look at how climate change is affecting the landscapes of these fascinating regions. The episodes comprise: 'To the Ends of the Earth', 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn', 'Winter', 'The Last Frontier' and 'On Thin Ice'.
Professor Iain Stewart is a renowned expert in geology and geo-science – the study of the earth and its atmosphere, oceans and biosphere.

With his enthusiastic delivery and hands-on approach matched by phenomenal camerawork the series are a must-see for anyone with even the slightest interest in our planet.
Earth – The Power of the Planet:
How Earth Made Us:
An insight into the world of British birds and how they live. This volume looks at birds of towns, parks and gardens (song thrush, starling, robin, blue tit and goldfinch), and birds of woodlands and forests (nightingale, green woodpecker, goldcrest, buzzard and long-eared owl).
Box set containing the complete BBC natural history series examining life beneath the world's oceans. 'The Blue Planet' presents an overview of the programmes to come, offering a sense of the amazing variety and complexity of the underwater kingdom. 'The Deep' explores the deepest depths of the oceans and looks at the predators which live there. 'Open Ocean' examines the stretches of deserted sea where very little life can be found, except some of the most dangerous predators of all. In 'Frozen Seas' life in the Arctic seas is compared with life in the Antarctic. 'Seasonal Seas' looks at the way the sun effects the marine environment in the temperate seas. 'Coral Seas' examines the way coral reefs are formed, the life which flourishes among them, and the destruction which ultimately comes their way. In 'Tidal Seas' the series examines tidal movements and their effect upon marine life. And finally 'Coasts' looks at the way underwater life uses the regions above the tide line, a habitat which holds few indigenous species but plays host to many visitors. Also included are two special episodes: 'Making Waves', a look at some of the characters who helped bring the series to the screen; and 'Deep Trouble', an investigation of man's relation to the sea.
In the second part of Arthur Oglesby's introductory guide to fly-fishing, Oglesby further demonstrates his techniques on famous stretches of river including Rutland Water and the River Tweed, and discusses the differences between boat fishing, hatchery fishing, and competitive fly-fishing.
Relax and watch as the riches of the seas pass before your eyes.

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough and from the award-winning team behind Planet Earth and Blue Planet comes the ultimate portrait of the earth's Polar regions. The Arctic and Antarctic remain the greatest wildernesses on Earth. The scale and beauty of the scenery and the sheer power of the elements – the weather, the ocean and the ice – is unmatched anywhere else on our planet. Yet these harsh environments are teeming with life: home to iconic animals from polar bears to emperor penguins and from killer whales to wandering albatrosses. Using the latest camera technology to film on land, from the air, underwater and below the ice caps, Frozen Planet follows their fascinating lives throughout the seasons as they struggle to survive. With spectacular polar landscapes and amazing animal behaviour, often filmed for the first time, it captures the drama of an extreme natural world. With both Poles under grave threat from climate change, this extraordinary series may be the last chance to witness these great wildernesses before they change forever.
