A man likes to sit around on rocks and talk
This is more of a visual picture book for people that have not seen other, better, *real* documentaries about our solar system.
The CGI in this series is quite nice, but you do not get to see any actual useful facts.
Every time that the narrator/host starts rambling (and he is always rambling in a manner that makes him sound extremely pleased with the words he just said), he will be sitting in some bizarre place somewhere on earth and fiddle around with rocks, pebbles, eggs or other objects, meaninglessly gesturing and wiggling them around while trying to explain orbital dynamics or other things. If you don't already know what he tries to talk about, you will be as confused and lost as this british man. He is also extremely fond of saying thermodynamics and gesturing around with his hands in a way that reminds me of business seminars and whiteboards.
It baffles me that no CGI was used to explain the important things and that they sent a film crew with this confused weird man to various places, especially when these sequences make up so much of these 'documentary' episodes, yet contribute staggeringly little value overall.
Watch this only if you're british and like looking at strange old men gesturing around and producing words while playing with stones.
