Billed as the last in David Attenboroughs series of
Life nature documentaries,
Life In Cold Blood leaves you dearly hoping that proves not to be the case. For once more, as he has done many times in his distinguished career, Attenborough gently - and unobtrusively - delivers an utterly fascinating insight into the world in which we live.
The focus of Life In Cold Blood is on reptiles and amphibians, bringing into focus a series of creatures very much of all shapes and sizes. Across the episodes that make up the series - all of which are contained in this DVD set - the programme makers delve into the lives and mannerisms of its subjects. They do so with some quite stunning camera work, bringing to our screens things that have quite simply never been seen before.
As much as perhaps we shouldnt take for granted the heights that Attenboroughs work easily scales, Life In Cold Blood happily matches the standards of his earlier series. Often genuinely jaw-dropping, and never less than completely absorbing, the DVD set is rounded off with some equally intriguing extra features that delve into the complex production of the programme itself.
If Life In Cold Blood really does bring the Life series to an end, then its even more reason to cherish it. Even without such emotive reasons, this is nonetheless an extraordinary series, thatll make you look at snakes, frogs, crocodiles and turtles in very different ways. Unmissable. --Simon Brew
