And proof, if it were needed, that David Attenborough’s position as number one national treasure is assured.Please note that a product being listed on our website does not necessarily mean it is in stock and readily available for order. Or better still, it will be a record of the time we finally sat up and took notice and changed our environment-damaging ways for the greater good of the planet.Įither way, it is further proof of how lucky we are to have such fine public service broadcasting, such dedicated and patient camera people, producers and crew dedicating their lives to recording the beauty of our planet for us. This box set should be cherished, for one day it could be a record of what we have lost. ![]() We see playful bottle nose dolphins surfing, sea otters floating on their backs in warm sunshine, their babies snuggled on their tummies, and the ruthlessness of nature as a fish breaks the surface to swallow a young bird whole. ![]() “Exceeds all expectations”įrom the moment the first episode starts by capturing the majesty of a giant rolling wave in slow motion, this series exceeds all expectations. We see the birds who live along the coastline, the leatherback turtles who swim thousands of kilometres to lay their eggs at the beach where they themselves hatched, and we are treated to an astonishing kaleidoscope of colourful fish and corals. We are taken on a journey round the globe, meeting the familiar and not so familiar. Individual choices are important and research by Waitrose supermarket found that 88% of people who saw the final episode have changed their habits, with 60% now choosing refillable water bottles and coffee cups.īlue Planet II took four years to make and is quite simply breathtaking in its photography and scope. International co-operation has worked in the past, such as on banning commercial whaling, and it can work again on pollution and climate change if we all work together to make it happen. This set off a tidal wave of public emotion which has led to political change, including an EU ban on single use plastics and moves to make cafes offer free tap water instead of selling plastic bottled water.Īll is not lost yet, as Attenborough and the scientists who speak on screen point out. What he says is illustrated by poignant images of the damage being done, such as a dead albatross, killed after eating a plastic toothpick a mother whale still carrying round her dead baby poisoned by plastic and a shark swallowing a piece of plastic debris. Attenborough does not lecture or preach, he simply tells it like it is, and his message is all the more powerful for it. Eight millions tons of plastic ends up in the sea every year, and the Blue Planet II team found it in every ocean where they filmed, even in remote areas such as South Georgia in Antarctica.įor six episodes the incredibly talented team from the BBC History Unit show us the jaw-dropping beauty of the creatures inhabiting our seas, before dropping this truth bomb in episode seven – if we don’t act immediately we will destroy our oceans forever. Overfishing, climate change, and other forms of industrial pollution also play their lethal part in harming marine life. A year on from when it first aired, there can’t be many people left on the planet who aren’t aware of the trail of destruction being wreaked beneath the waves by plastic waste. The defining moment of Blue Planet II comes in the last episode when David Attenborough delivers his stark warning about the horrendous damage we humans are doing to our oceans. ![]()
