I was as impressed as ever watching it, I even watched it again when the repeat was shown yesterday I never knew giraffes fought and with such force as well 
I also managed to catch one of the Galapagos shows (I think there were 3) so I am hopeing they will be repeated soon as well.

I saw the repeat yesterday. I archive them on a hard drive so I can watch over and over.
Was that the BBC "Microworlds" special?? I have that one, brilliant.
On the subject, I find it highly amusing seeing Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson and other legendary comedians hosting nature specials.
Tony Robinson down under was a "cunning" special. (sorry, he will always be Baldrick to me)
The Komodo Dragon special with Stephen Fry is ace too...

It was on sky1 and from the quick look I just had it appears to be a new series. Strange that Attenborough is not on the BBC as I think I have only seen him do shows for the beeb before. Here's a link
David Attenborough returns to Sky with a breathtaking new 3D series - Sky1 HD
I haven't seen the Tony Robinson or Stephen Fry docs so I will have to look out for them but I am the same as you all I will see is Baldric and Melchett presenting them

Re: Sir David Attenborough - Wildlife documentaries
"lizard kings"
LOVE IT, me and pajaaamas watched it. I am pretty sure he was able to understand there were argus/sand goanas on the tv because he seemed rather interested when they walked across the screen, he even would tripod when they would.
On netflix the bio of it says its got Sir DA as the narrator

Re: Sir David Attenborough - Wildlife documentaries
You are totally entitled to your opinion Doberman and there's really nothing wrong with that.
However I would have to disagree about Steve Irwin. You were a bit harsh.
I have friends who are keepers at Australia Zoo. They worked with Steve and Tammi Irwin for years. Both have told me time and time again what good people they are/were and how much they care about both their captive animals and wild populations. Steve had never once done anything to intentionally hurt any species he has come into contact with.
99.9% of the time, he might have enabled the viewer to get a better look of a critter by bringing it closer to the camera or doing some light handling as an educational tool. This may come across as a bit "fancy dancy" and unneccesary at times, especially when compared to the likes of Sir David who just observes and reports, however each person has their own way of helping educate. It's what made him famous.
Steve has done a lot in the conservation field that many are unaware of. I mean, a lot. He was very scientific and passionate about his approach to conservation and captive animal welfare. His hands-on approach might be a bit much for the likes of some, but remember you can't please everyone.
Steve was a good man with a big heart that will be sorely missed.

I saw this here in the U.S.
Always disappointed that the Americans have to dub over Attenborough's voice with an American person. The narrator in the U.S. is terrible. I cant understand him, he talks too fast and sometimes slurs his words into each other.
They had Oprah Winfrey do the Life series - she was bad. Everything felt dumbed down. Sigourney Weaver was the narrator for the Planet Earth series and didn't do half bad, but still, she's no Attenborough.
Really not sure why the American's feel the need to use American accents for everything. Maybe they think this nation can't understand a British person??? Just shows the faith TV Execs have in the American people...

I can't believe they do that that is sacrilege to replace his voice

It was a very good mini series, I missed one of the episodes but hoping they will show them all again soon and I wish I would have been able to see it in 3D
