ATTENBOROUGH'S CHOICE
By a customer from Newcastle, Blighty , 14 Oct 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
This DVD of individual special episodes is unlike your usual Attenborough wildlife series. He begins by pursuing the bird of paradise and then with an introduction to his ventures as a younger man, and indeed you get to see him in the New Guinea rainforest meeting jungle tribes who have never seen a European before. Some of this is truly pioneering stuff, with beautiful photography as any Attenborough fan would expect.
I've given it 4 stars, only because the flow of the episodes is quite eratic, and it's difficult to pin down the theme of the series... it's not always about wildlife, sometimes about civilizations, or an interest of David's own, and the location of each episode changes seemingly without any relevance to the last episode.
Nevertheless, this is Attenborough at his most passionate, and the visual treats are top-notch. This is what we pay our tv license for.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer from UK , 23 Jun 2008I thought this DVD was brilliant! The first DVD was mainly about New Guinea and the birds of paradise. It showed birds of paradise and bower birds and their incredible creations which amazed me.
David Attenborough once again proves that he is head and shoulders above most in his field. These DVDS have seven documentries all of which are interesting and very well done. It also includes 'Life on Air' a look back on David Attenboroughs career. They are all done with David Attenborough's enthuisiasm and and entertaining style.
He looks at Birds of paradise and Bower birds, some of the worlds most amazing birds. Definetly worth seeing!- Was this review helpful to you?
