Bookmarking.
I once applied for a job as a mustard cutter.
But unfortunately I wasn’t quite good enough.

It will no doubt be absolutely superb.

The programme's site is here, with lots more clips. 7 episodes, but no hint of when it's on!

Stop that eye rolling! I pay for the BBC and I cant watch it online because my ISP is Italian. 
We are alive, so the universe must be said to be alive. We are its consciousness as well as our own. We rise out of the cosmos and see its mesh of patterns, and it strikes us as beautiful. And that feeling is the most important thing in all the universe.

What I'm most interested in is what ridiculous celebrity they'll get to dub the American version this time. Maybe Paris Hilton?
Or this guy:

I'm currently watching Animal Planet's mangled version of Planet Earth. Why does American media suck so hard? Why do they have to do this? The "big names" they're trying to attach to these shows aren't helping them, especially if they can't even pick a big name that has a decent voice. If you're gonna insist that Americans won't listen to a British person talk (as if American's don't have a reputation for being infatuated with people who have certain accents...), at least book someone like Morgan Freeman to do the narration. Not someone who sounds like they're just phoning it in for the paycheck.

I'm guessing Morgan Freeman is quite expensive. We get Animal Planet here and the narration is usually British on anything wildlife related (anything without an on-screen presenter anyway).

If the network has enough money to get Morgan Freeman to do an entire series, they can hire him to do some narrating. 
Or better yet, they can just STOP dubbing over Sir David and not have to spend any extra money at all. <.<;

They got Pierce Broson to narrate one of them. Blue Planet, I think

The best narrators are always the ones you don't recognise until you're about half way through. They certainly shouldn't be a selling point of the documentary, unless they've got some sort of expertise and involvement in writing the script.
Incidentally, it seems some Americans have taste:
I've seen American TV spoofing nature documentaries before, and even they do a David Attenborough impression.

I can't get the page to load, but it appears that the UK version outsold the Oprah-dubbed version in America

Is this like Life in the Freezer updated - only featuring the Arctic as well?
I quite enjoyed LitF.

If like me you forgot it's repeated on Sunday on BBC ONE at 16:10.
If you're American there is a torrent so you can watch it now, as it should be, narrated by the master, before it reaches your shores next Spring narrated by Oprah Winfrey or some shite (although if they get Morgan Freeman that's fine also).

It was good.
I was astounded by the actions of hunting killer whales, coordinating their movements so as to create a wave that would wash a seal off an ice floe where they could eat it.
Never knew they behaved like that.

Recorded but not yet watched... (Bookmarking)
There's also iPlayer for British viewers... (in case you don't want to wait for the repeat, or if you miss it then as well...)
