Well, it's Sir David Attenborough

"The Living Planet" doesn't bring back as many childhood memories as "Life on Earth". Too unwieldy? Or just too much? But sure, the concept is similar: Attenborough, daring as usual, criss-crosses the world, showing us pretty much everything from charismatic megafauna to seemingly trivial stuff such as dandelions or ballooning spiders. I admit that for some strange psychological reason, "The Living Planet" didn't thrill me as much as other documentaries featuring The Man, but I nevertheless feel forced to give this staggering achievement in the history of nature documentaries (and, I suppose, the world) four stars.

PS. This is a review of the series as such, not necessarily this DVD edition. Apparently, some liberties were taken. See the other reviews.
