Quotethis series has been out friggen ages!
Yup, that's one of the
(only) benefits of living in the UK though, we see all the BBC stuff first time round, and BBC know their nature shows. Like I say, I'm on my 3rd run of this series, I first saw it on the BBC though, before it made it to Discovery.
'The Blue Planet' is fantastic aswell.
On the subject of the BBC, try and have a look at the BBC 'Building The Great Pyramid'. Here it is on youtube broken into segments, you'll really want to see it on your own TV though to fully appreciate it.
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=AJWrlYIf-BwIt is a couple of years old aswell but, still stunning, none the less! All from the help of a little plumb-bob, apparently. Beat that, Modern-Man!
Edit: There's a striking resemblance to the TG2 logo at the start of part 6 of this!
