Written and presented by David Attenborough, Life in Cold Blood tells the epic story of the most enduringly successful animals ever to walk on land – reptiles and amphibians. The very latest technology enables extraordinary and previously unseen behavior to be captured in intimate detail, overturning the myth that cold blooded life is slow, solitary and primitive, and revealing these creatures to be as dramatic, social, sophisticated and passionate as warm blooded animals. As with Life in the Undergrowth, this series will change the audience's perceptions forever - giving them a new, warm-hearted relationship with Life in Cold Blood. With this series, David Attenborough completes his overview of life on the planet.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: creepy, crawly, incredible Comment: Attenborough is in fine form in this series, his own pleasant quirkiness matching the oddity and fascination of the reptiles he trots before us. The programs are thoughtfully organized, so there's enough continuity to let us know we are actually learning something about reptiles, rather than just seeing a proliferation of bizarre life-forms. As good the second time as they are the first time through, these discs are almost sure to satisfy. Customer Rating: Summary: Entertaining and Educational! Comment: Life in Cold Blood is actually a set of documentaries that bring to life some of the most fascinating creatures on earth: amphibians and reptiles.
The amount of effort and research put into this project, along with the latest in technology equipment, helps transport the viewer to the creatures' natural habitat creating a strong sense of excitement and anticipation.
Moreover, David Attenborough's narrative abilities are the cherry on the cake in what can only be described as flawless work. In short, he does a great job of presenting these magnificent and sometimes terrifying creatures.
Strongly recommended, for those with a soft spot for all things natural, along with the National Geographic's Search for the Ultimate Survivor, Chased by Sea Monsters, and the Walking with Dinosaurs, Walking with Beasts and Walking with Cavemen series. 5 Stars!
Customer Rating: Summary: FORMIDABLE!! Comment: Another winner! All previous reviews say almost everything that has to be said about this wonderful DVD to convince a buyer to purchase it. For reptile lovers, this is the BBC's top production and probably the only one featuring Mr Attenborough speaking exclusively on cold blooded creatures. From the other reviews it is not clear what kind of animals are filmed, well the answer is simple: All kinds of the reptiles and amphibians participate in this fascinating documentary; from frogs, caecilians and geckos through crocodiles, snakes and turtles. Absolutely stunning!. If you liked the series from "Planet Earth", "Blue Planet" or "Life in the Undergrowth", this DVD is for you. The BBC's missing documentary on animals is finally here; enjoy the cold blooded creatures. It deserves a ten star rating, indeed! Customer Rating: Summary: Another precious gem by Attenborough..... Comment: If you enjoy his documentaries - Life of Birds and Life in the Undergrowth - then this documentary ranks just as high up there with those two greats. Fascinating, great photography and content, narrated by the Master himself. It just does not get better! Well.... what are you waiting for? Order!
