With David Attenborough, BBC1. Most excellent series, but do the sound effects bug you? Most of the sounds (who knows what proportion, perhaps some are even real, but you'd never know it) are a fiction accomplished in a sound lab with coconut shells and whotnot. I get a bit fed up with them until I detach myself from the action and perhaps concede they add to the drama, or am snapped out of it forcefully when, for example, a fish roars.

I know what you mean, The Blue Planet (only narrated by Attenborough) was terrible for it, especially for the deep sea segementsCoffee's for closers -
Excellent TV although I think I enjoy the "how they filmed it" at the end best.
The young chappie free diving to film the humpbacks was great IMHO.Comment

Coincidently I was watching a BBC program an architecture last week and the camera work was so poor (like an amateur first time home made movie) I just switched it off."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
