Any Idea When??

Hi,

Wild-woman posted about this series ages ago in the reptile forum, I think.

Saw the advert for it on BBC a couple of days ago saying it is coming soon! Does anybody know exactly when?

I've got all the David Attenborough 'Life' DVD's (and Blue Planet, Planet Earth, etc.) I love them!! Currently re-re-watching Life of Birds each night on my portable DVD player when I go to bed!!

Can't wait for the latest installment for reptiles!!

Cheers

Gareth

GME. Funny you are watching "life of birds". I met a cameraman who worked on it last night. He shot the footage for the bits about "sand martins" and "greenfinches eating rosehips". He showed me the rushes for his filming.... hours of film condensed in the final show to a few seconds... In fact the greenfinches were filmed in his garden and field nearby, and the sandmartins just up the road from me at a local sand pit.

Can't wait for Life in Cold Blood. Unfortunately I'm away for some of it... so hope it gets put on BBC iplayer.

Yep-I certainly did. I'm really looking forward to it too. After all, it's modern day dinosaurs....and I've always loved them! Can't wait.

The amazing and fab David was on Jonathan Ross last night promoting the reptile programme, it looks really good, as eva

I can't think of anyone in the world I admire more.

Been looking forward to this series ever since I first heard they were making it - not long now!

Great stuff - thanks for the replies! Can't wait. Roll on the 28th then

And thanks tigger that's really interesting. You always know there must have been hours of filming for seconds of final production viewing but I don't think you ever appreciate just how much. The Snow Leopard film (and indeed the behind the scenes footage on Planet Earth) really showed the patience of wildlife camera people. Days and days of filming for less than a minute slot in the final programme! Lucky that bloke got to film from his own garden then

Thanks again

... 3 more days to go

And i bought planet earth today dvd for £25.

Yeah, I've checked ahead on my Sky+ guide and it's not on as mentioned by ron1863

My better half has since informed me that Sir David told Jonathon Ross that it starts Feb 4th. Whatever date it does start I'll be ready with the remote ha!!

Great DVD! A bargain. You will while away many an hour ploughing through the box set

I loved the 'making of' slots at the end of each episode as well. Really insightful and revealing. Shows the lengths that was gone to

Aaargh! Another week to wait!

The Life In Cold Blood web site that Ron linked to above is still saying 28th Jan but the Radio Times has Waking the Dead on at 9.00 to 10.00 pm. The BBC Press Office site has been updated to show 4th Feb for the kick off too. I suspect this was a last minute change to the schedules, hence Sir David on the cover of this week's Radio Times...

Just checking here..... so this is now on next week ? Still some links saying 28th january. Will be devastated if miss it

I think they have rescheduled due to the bbc cut backs

shame they couldn't cut back on all the ridiculous reality tv stuff that's on and ensure more coverage of nature, environment progs running smoothly eh ? Grrrrrr

Gaina · #16 (**permalink**) 28-01-2008, 07:07 PM

It stated Feb 4th (which is correct) in the weekend magazine I had too - good old Mercury retrograde putting a snafu in the schedule!

EDIT: on Friday BBC2 8pm there's a program called 'White Falcon, White Wolf' about a pack of Wolves and a pair of Gyr Falcons in the Canadian Arctic. Should be good

I'm looking forward to it. It's on a bit late for my children (school night) - does anyone know if it's being repeated at an earlier time?
