The Planet Earth DVD Series

Planet Earth is a BBC nature documentary series co-produced with the Discovery Channel. Filmed in high-definition format, it has been described as “the definitive look at the diversity of our planet”. Planet Earth is a huge achievement in documentary filming, and through its imagery, promotes care for and respect of our planet Earth. Narrator David Attenborough has called the series “a celebration of our planet”.

The series was made over the course of four years by Produce Alastair Fothergill and his team, who are also responsible for the 2001 documentary titled “The Blue Planet”. With the exception of the first, each of the eleven episodes focuses on one of Earth’s natural habitats and showcases the animal and plant life found there. Several animals and locations featured in the Planet Earth series have never been filmed before. Never before filmed animal behavior includes: wolves chasing caribou observed from above, snow leopards pursuing markhor in the Himalayas; grizzly bear cubs leaving their den for the first time, crab eating macaques that swim underwater and over a hundred sailfish hunting in a group.

Each episode of the series has a running time of approximately 8 minutes. A five-disc DVD box set of the complete series was released in the UK on November 27, 2006. Three publications were also released by BBC books to accompany the DVD series.
