is that richard attenborough? i think it is. if it is then yes, thats the first person I thought of from the other thread myself. he has been narrating forever. If my memory serves me correctly, it was even mentioned in jurassic park (I think the book, but im not sure)

i heard that episode 7 wasn't going to be aired in america becuase it shows the damage that the oil industry and climate change is doing to the arctic regions....am i wrong? i have to say it was truly one of the most remarkable nature series i have ever seen! well worth the watch!

I loved it!! Actually learned some stuff it was super interesting. All the animals were so cute especially the polar bears and the Narwhals, Elephant Seals were just badass. Do want to watch again

this is awesome. i prefer the BBC version over alec baldwins one. and regardless of my view on it, i don't like the subtle global warming references...

Dammit, i saw it on the channel listing thing as I was scrolling through and I thought, "Oh, I'm gonna go back to that after I look through all of the shows."

And, I forgot. fuck i swear i have memory issues.

The baby polar bear scenes were my favourite but I couldn't figure out how they managed to get that footage. Turns out they were in a zoo the whole time... :(

Ew.

I fucking hate it when American TV feels the need to replace stuff like this. Attenborough is the best narrator of all time, and has made so many wildlife documentaries, why replace him with shit?

The behind the scenes episode is soo awesome.
