Blu Ray here I come

Recording the show right now in HD, thanks for the reminder.

Why did they have to go and get Oprah for the narration? Why couldn't they keep Attenborough.

Is this also a BBC documentary as Planet Earth? Is David Attenborough hosting it?

I think Oprah Winfrey is narrating it in the US edition.

EDIT: And yes, it's made by the BBC, in association with Discovery, Open University and Skai TV. David Attenborough narrated it in the UK version, and it was pretty amazing. It's certainly one of my next Blu-Ray purchases.

I will be watching it tongiht.

I've seen it. It's amazing. Watch it! Its a shame they had Oprah narrate the US version though.Tauruslink

I didn't really have any interest in it before (love Planet Earth; don't have any desire for this), but this really makes me not want to watch it.

Which is a shame because Attenborough is the god of nature documentaries.

I guess they took him off either because they figured that the British accent would be offputting to the average American viewer (let's not forget how many people claimed they needed to "learn british" in order to understand Harry Potter) and/or because they thought that more people would tune in if they had an American celebrity doing the narration. They pulled this **** with Planet Earth too IIRC. They had Segurny Weaver do the narration for the US version (or maybe that was just the Disney version, I can't remember).

If Oparah is narrating it then no.

The whole "Oprah is narrating so Im not watching" is kind of ridiculous, her voice isn't THAT annoying...hell I dont think it is annoying at all, not annoying or bad enough to not watch this amazing show.
