    The doc about space that we we're waiting for

    I've been digging a lot of space documentaries mostly on torrent tho, but this one is finally what we were waiting for, great mind explaining everything really clear, and the production is amazing, that's a yes for me DAWG

    Mind Boggling

    Professor Brian Cox is the David Attenborough of scientific programmes. He brings a wealth of knowledge to any media he is involved in, not least The Planets, which is a masterpiece of television.

    The story-telling and graphical representation is fantastic. Each episode seems to outdo its predecessor.

    If astronomy is your thing, or you simply to want to learn more about our solar system, I implore you to watch this series.

    Worth the licence fee on its own

    Great production values , improved grahics and good narration. One of the best Space docs of the last few years. Carl Sagan is looking on warmly. Biggest Volcano in the Solar System, olympus mons, only because we have no idea what hides on Jupiter Saurn Neptune Uranus. More like this please ...But maybe its too expensive??

    Must see for every human

    This a TV serie that every human being should see.

    Brilliantly Thought Provoking

    The amount of information contained in this series is astounding, giving us a chastening insight into the origin of our Planet and the Solar System. I felt fear, I felt tiny and I felt exhilaration, I felt humble and I felt great watching this series.

    All these mixed feelings alternating through me as I was watching the episodes, transfixed.

    Professor Cox narration is wonderful and I love the way his documentaries are presented: scientific subjects simplified and beautified by splicing natural scenes to scientific matters.

    • Trivia
      When the Venera probes first sent back their images from the surface of Venus, there was wide speculation that there was life on the planet due to irregularities in the images noted as "black flaps" and "scorpions". It wasn't until later confirmed that the anomalies in the images were simply artifacts due to image processing. The surface of Venus is essentially the temperature of the inside of a burning house.
    • Alternate versions
      Shown in the USA on PBS's "Nova" series, with narration of Brian Cox replaced by voice of Zachary Quinto.
