What's your favourite nature programme(s)?

[Sutekh_the_Destroyer]

What the title said. I think everybody pretty much knows what a nature programme is. I'd have to say one of my favourite nature programmes is the series Life On Earth, from 1979. Other than a couple of things of which at the time they didn't know about, hence giving the simple explanation "we don't know. But......", it's pretty much up to date. Here's the first episode.

One thing I don't get is why they're showing solar flares from the sun in the title sequence, whereas the programme itself is specifically about the Earth, and no other astronomical object.

Anything with David Attenborough in or Steve Irwin's shows: Man was a legend and childhood hero. (Although some people may disagree on that)

Planet Earth and Life made a big impression on me. I also really enjoyed the Wild Russia and Wild Pacific series.

I also watched their original show, Kratt's Creaures (remember Ttark? Guess what it spells backwards). They also have a pretty decent looking kids cartoon, called Wild Kratts.

Come on, you can't beat that theme song!

Anything with David Attenborough is pure win.

I like Big Cat Diaries and and Planet Earth.

I like Big Cat Diaries and and Planet Earth.

I forgot about Big Cat Diary! Now that was a show where I didn't mind them giving the subjects personalities. I hated, HATED Meerkat Manor because of the fakey way the show was narrated, and how they liked to claim that different meerkats were the same individual.

Jersey Shore. I like to observe the idiot in their natural environment.

 

[Zenia]

I love "How the Earth Was Made" ... and really any documentary series about geology/geography, oceans, and outer space.

Yeah Meerkat Manor was a bit too goofy for me. Big Cat Diary was hands off, but you still got an idea of the personalities of the animals. I also really like the hosts. They're so passionate.

Oh man I so got into Meerkat Manor, so much drama.

I really like Walking With Dinosaurs and The Future Is Wild, though neither go into creatures of today. Wild China was absolutely awesome, it also discusses the landscape and how people interact with that and the wildlife. I kind of got into River Monsters, the guy finds some pretty crazy stuff but that kind of played in the background while I was drawing. Journey to the Edge of the Universe blew my mind, movies tend to make the universe look pretty small, they can zoom in to the Earth from a shot of our galaxy in a few seconds but this really gives that sense of proportion. It also made me terrified of quasars.

It's hard to pick favourites, really. So many good ones.

Wildlife programming at its finest:

Here's the video from that gif. The first time I watched it, me and my sis were literally rolling on the floor laughing!
