Earth: The Biography
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: none
- Commentary: This is another spectacular BBC series that charts the evolution of the earth. Fascinating. We watched it when it broke on TV then decided we had to have it for re-viewing. We watched it, in its entirety, a couple of times before Mom died.
Update: 7/31/21: This series came out, originally, within the year just previous to my mother's death. Since, it has been renamed "Earth: The Power of the Planet". From what I can tell, without actually watching it before writing this update, it is the same program, just a different name. As well, an overall director (although I'm sure there must have been one) has yet to be named in any of the material on the show. The closest I can get to someone who probably had editorial and directoral control over this product would be D. Iain Stewart, referred to as the "presenter" of this program.
Update 5/24/22: Yet another post published on 4/09/09 that "disappeared" and I had to recapture.
Here's a link to the Wikipedia write-up of the film.
Release Date: 2007-2008
Directed by: Different Directors for different episodes; 5 directors in all.
Labels: audio-visual, documentary1, popcorn-and-soda3, science
