Attenborough in his element
This is a documentary about the topics closest to David Attenboroughs interests - fossils. And you can see it, there seems to be that flicker of more enthusiasm in his eyes when he talks about the fossils in museums, or sits by while a fossil hunter splits in two a stone to reveal a beautiful fish fossil. br / br /A must have if you are a fan of nature and Attenborough.

has aged very well
when i was a younger man, in the 80's, a nature documentary by attenborough, was considered a treat, regardless of the subject. as a lover of all things prehistoric, i hoped to see a sreies of attenborough's dedicated to dinosaurs or anything prehistoric. thus you can understand my pleasure when i discovered this series much later, only a year ago. when we remember that technology has advanced since 1989, and much else( east germany is now as gone as the archeopterix)the engaging and informative style of presentation can compete successfully with it's descendants in "walking with dinosaurs" . speaking of which, david attenborough was sadly missing as presentor of that excellent series, and one can only marvel why he objected to the making of such series. especially when the existence thereof is only natural as technology progresses. regardless, this series is a "missing link" from my youth! warmly recommended!

BBC should remaster this
I ordered this on the firm believe on the quality of all the other BBC/David documentaries I own. br / br /I was a little let down when the first episode played, and the shaky camera movements were so obvious, I started getting dizzy. There is also a consistent faded border on both left and right verticals that suggest that they original film was not carefully scan into digital, with the trailing edges of the negative being scanned or the negative not being positioned properly. br / br /All this became even more obvious when I watched it on my 46" Sony Bravia W4500, with a Sony DVD player via HDMI. I had to switch back to my smaller 26" LCD to make the movements less obvious. br / br /BBC should review this production and remaster and re-release it, with today current advances in image clean up and mastering and it will top it all off. br / br /The wonderful informational detail, descriptions and the various experts give a very insightful view into this wonderful work of science. br / br /BBC, remaster it and it will be another 5 star production.

Lost Worlds Vanished Lives
Very informative and detailed analysis of past history of life on Earth. I would strongly recommend to all those who have interest in fossile science.
