Life (TV Series)

Aroview: Extraordinary and stunningly filmed even by usual BBC nature-doc standards, this truly epic journey to the frontiers of the natural world is hosted by David Attenborough, and features close encounters afforded by a series drawing on over 3000 days of shooting.

Among the more memorable images: three cheetahs move with the relentless rhythm of mobsters, a school of flying fish glides through the air with the grace of ballerinas, the mass migration of swarms of monarch butterflies, and a Jesus Christ lizard skips across the water, like, well, you know.

Each of the 10 episodes also concludes with an "on location" segment, which proves as worthy and indispensable as the programs themselves.
