The Life Collection: David Attenborough (24 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] £37.49 (56AUD)

330

Dear all

I always wanted to buy this set at a good price. I thought this was a good time as the price had dropped considerably over time. Have fun.

This box set contains all of David Attenborough's 'Life' series - among the greatest and most beautiful nature documentaries even made.

Life on Earth offers a chronological account of the flora and fauna of planet Earth over a period of 3,500 million years.

The Living Planet: An ambitious 12-part documentary that spanned the globe with portraits of each of the major geographical regions that offer a home to life.

Trials of Life: Originally broadcast in 1990, it examines animal behaviour in all its infinite variety and in doing so we are allowed to witness some ofthe most enchanting animal personalities, as will as some of the most fearsome.

Life in the Freezer reveals incomparable standards of natural history filming to trace Antartica's seasonal cycle from the long winter months when the formation of ice almost doubles its surface area, to the brief summer when the race to breed really heats up.

The Private Life of Plants: Attenborough takes us through each aspect of plants' lives travelling, growing, flowering, their struggle with other plants and animals, and the ingenious way they adapt to even the harshest of conditions.

The Life of Birds presents a fascinating and exciting view of the world of birds, the largest animal group on earth, in a series of ten fifty-minute episodes.

The Life of Mammals looks at why mammals are the most successful creatures on the planet.

Life in the Undergrowth: Here David shows us not just bugs, beetles and creepy-crawlies, but scorpions and centipedes, mites and mantids, spiders and dragonflies.

  • This is on DVD and quite expensive. I think Blu-ray is so much better option. You get far more superior quality video and at a fraction of the price of DVDs.

      But Life on Blu-Ray doesnt have all this content, its only 1/8th of it.
      4 discs total 550mins vs 24 discs total 4360mins on the OPs DVD set.

        I don't know about that. Even if this is true, the price difference and quality difference is huge. These films are meant to be watched in full HD. This is my personal opinion, of course.

        • lol mate you have absolutely no clue. this post is for the 8 series box set, that link you provided is for just one of those.

      Life is a completely different series to this box collection over 20+ years worth of nature documentaries. This collection is only available in DVD because the bulk of it was filmed for broadcast television when HD was just a fantasy, and most of them are for 4:3. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_%28BBC_TV_series%29 vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_Collection for an illustration of the difference.

      • Damn, I just ordered both for $75ish. With the free shipping bob19 mentioned, it was too tempting.

        Bloody OzB. This was not on my shopping list :P
