Superb, simply put
Always a fan of Sir David's works and this is no different. The BBC has a monolith like arm for cinematic splendour, and as a photographer myself, seeing the behind the scenes at the end is always inspiring.
I also found out that the cine lenses they use are Canon 70-1000mm, yes 1000mm! Those things cost around £70,000 each. This kind of gives you an idea on the type of distances they are from the wildlife to get many of the shots that would otherwise be impossible.
The musical score, the action, the insight and the narration, a better combination that Hollywood movies costing hundreds of millions of dollars.... And you end up having a new found respect and understanding for nature as a whole.
