 | Planet Earth - BBC Television Series |
Calilasseia    *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003   | This came to my attention: BBC Planet Esrth The programme on caves is being repeated on Saturday at around 7:30 pm (check schedules to make sure!). This has AMAZING footage of blind cave Balitorine loaches among other things. Plus a cave called Lechuguilla, which contains a feature called 'the Chandelier Ballroom' - with AMAZING crystals of pure gypsum hanging from the ceiling that are SIX METRES long! Click above link and explore - there's a gigantic Flash app allowing you to view some of the clips, including the Lechuguilla exploration, and the Cave Swiftlets whose nests are harvested to make Bird's Nest Soup ... If anyone in the States, Canada, Australia or NZ can get BBC TV programmes on their cable channels, this one is a 'must see' ...  |

A lot of the material is similar to that already covered in another attenborough series- the living planet, but the new photography is probably some of the best seen, in the world, ever .  Probably the best thing on tv at the moment. It wont be released on dvd till december , so catch it while you can. |
