BBC-DVD: Why Won't You Take My Money???

I caught a rare glimpse of "Attenborough in Paradise" on American cable TV some years back; since then I've searched for ANYTHING with Sir David's name on it. Although I am quite pleased with the "Planet Earth" series of DVDs, it would be wonderful if DVDs on the Birds of Paradise were made available to us poor slobs in the US, i.e., formatted for Region 1. To all BBC-DVD studio employees: When finished pressing a bajillion discs of Sir David's DVDs for the UK, please press the "REGION 1" button and run me off a few copies -- and please, keep the original narration (none of that Sigourney Weaver nonsense). I eagerly await your reply...

I thought this DVD was brilliant! The first DVD was mainly about New Guinea and the birds of paradise. It showed birds of paradise and bower birds and their incredible creations which amazed me.
David Attenborough once again proves that he is head and shoulders above most in his field. These DVDS have seven documentries all of which are interesting and very well done. It also includes 'Life on Air' a look back on David Attenboroughs career. They are all done with David Attenborough's enthuisiasm and and entertaining style.
He looks at Birds of paradise and Bower birds, some of the worlds most amazing birds. Definetly worth seeing!
Attenborough's Anthropological bent
Review date: 2006-04-19 Rating: 10 out of 10
Had Attenborough only continued with his anthropology...!
All the episodes are superbly well done; but the mystery of the Easter island figurine caught my imagination the most, making me wonder why Attenborough did not continue doing some anthropology on the side. It is obvious that he would have been an overwhelming success at this--just as with his natural science. Shame ...

I thought the title programme was excellent, as were the other programmes on the DVD. Good value for money and a must for all Attenborough fans, as it also features 'Life on Air' which is a look back at his 50 year carear.
5 stars for David Attenborough in Paradise.
