I'll be "Bruno" and give it "TEN"! "Frozen Planet" is the best science documentary the BBC have done in years. The camera work is exquisite and nothing is rushed - time has been allowed to savour the wonders on show. David Attenborough narrates it as though he were young again. And it is not until you see the "Freeze Frame" sections that you realise how much the camera crews have endured and - at times - have laid their lives on the line to bring this to us. The BBC have often been knocked on this group, but they deserve all the credit going for this series. It will be an injustice if they do not win some awards for it. -- - Yokel - Yokel posts via a spam-trap account which is not read. |

And with all the belt-tightening going on at the BBC, I wonder if they'll ever be able to afford to make anything like it again. The camera work is exquisite and nothing is rushed - time has been allowed to savour the wonders on show. David Attenborough narrates it as though he were young again. Though he did sound alarmingly out of breath in some of his pieces to camera last night. I wondered about the wisdom of subjecting a man in his eighties to such extreme cold. But then I don't suppose that anyone could have dissuaded him. ![]() And it is not until you see the "Freeze Frame" sections that you realise how much the camera crews have endured and - at times - have laid their lives on the line to bring this to us. Yes, indeed. There were one or two sequences where, if I had been the person at the BBC with ultimate responsibility, I think I might have said: "You're not doing that. It's too dangerous." The BBC have often been knocked on this group, but they deserve all the credit going for this series. It will be an injustice if they do not win some awards for it. I'd be astonished if the series didn't win every award going for British TV documentaries. -- John Hall "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."

It was awful. Sentimental childish schmaltz entirely at odds with the general tenor of the programmes(s). I'm surprised he let himself in for it. I'd like to think it didn't happen because everything else about the series was brilliant. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |
