  • I love the camp monkeys at 1:14! Lol!

  • totally totally awesome....I cry with joy everytime i see this.Sir David Attenborough,frozen planet was the best thing on tv in a long time.thankyou beeb and all who made this possible.legend

  • Why is his brother a Lord and he's only a Knight? It should be the other way around.

  • At 1.12 - is that not the campest monkey you've ever seen?

  • @gingersparkes truth!!

  • One of the best ads ive ever seen!!!!!

  • This just turned up on BBC4 just now.

  • So Sir David can't sing then ? ;)

  • Very moving......

  • inspirational and beautiful

  • That was wonderful! I had a tear in my eye :').

  • totally awe inspiring! watch it and weep... Thank you xx

    Thank you Sir David.

  • Absolutely brilliant, I love it!

  • The most beautiful video ever! Thank you Sir David and the BBC

  • Feeling real down at the moment but this video has made me smile. Wonderful

  • nice video

    and song by louis armstrong 

  • I LOVE this ! X :)

  • Will someone PLEASE tell me what the bird is at 0:11. I am in awe.

  • @TheCurly0ne Its called a "Superb Bird of Paradise", and you can see more of that clip if you search for "birds of paradise - planet earth". along with some other incredible displays. Its taken from BBC's Planet Earth series. Hope this helps! :)

  • David Attenborough should make a rap album.

  • The little monkeys at 1:13 made me genuinely laugh out loud :') ahh nature.

  • Number 1 in a few weeks time if released as a single ??? Remember telly Savalas with 'IF'?

  • Comment removed

  • 4 people got eaten by killer whales.

  • David Attenborough, worth the tv licence alone.

  • The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for.

  • great video, great filming

  • 'They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.'

    Not possible Sir Attenborough, not possible.

  • a lot of the 'life' series was shot in studio tanks. doesn't make it any less amazing, the bbc nature team are truly fantastic

  • The monkey at 0:22 looks like Bill Nighy.

  • why no download link =-P

  • None of this is "fake", as they are obviously real animals. I think when use the word fake you refer to the fact that some footage is filmed on captive animals, and yes that is true, and the bbc make no secret about that. Sometimes it is neccesary. Take the polar bear cub filming, which wasn't done in the wild. If they had burrowed into the den of a wild hibernating polar bear with 2 newborn cubs they would put the bear in danger, themselves in danger and the cubs would most likely die.

  • fake

  • @marmadukesymesparker How? How is this possibly fake... ._.

  • @6buster me nan works on the production and she said so

  • @marmadukesymesparker That still doesn't cover up how this is fake. It's real isn't it? the videos playing. You're hearing audio aren't you? So again. Explain to me, how this is fake.

  • @6buster she said its not real penguins they from t thezoo or something.

  • @marmadukesymesparker So you're saying animals from the zoo aren't real? you're saying that their some sort of robotic animals. wow!

  • @6buster Nahh man they're real! but this is fake!!! Cant you understand that?

  • @marmadukesymesparker No, because this isnt fake. You can't understand that. You're saying the animals aren't real? They're there aren't they? Please, don't embarrass yourself anymore and just admit it, this is "real" You're saying the penguins are fake, i explained to you that there can be no such thing as "fake" animals. Therefore, this video isn't fake.

  • @6buster i said me nan works on the production didn't i!!! Do you think shes a liar??

  • @marmadukesymesparker Nope, I'm not saying she's a liar, but I'm saying that this isn't fake. But you still cease to fail to explain how the video/audio is somehow fake, like it was summoned by Hades, the lord of the underworld and made this video to trick people thinking this is real while they get sucked into the fiery depths of the underworld.

  • @6buster ??? lots of words I dont know

  • @marmadukesymesparker How could this be fake, have you seen the frozen planet series? they go to extreme lengths just to get seconds of footage.

  • BEAUTIFUL love it x

  • ....how far will I have to go to see @dekebrodie's comment???

  • @tepast1 I wouldn't bother babe, let's just enjoy the love, this video/clip is just beautiful! :)

  • Gods works are truely amazing :)

  • I am a teacher, and showed this to my class of 11-12 year olds who were completely in awe of the whole thing. Great to see them excited about soemthing other than reality TV and Justin Bieber! A few of them refused to believe the shots were real though - it's terrible that, in the modern age where we have so much capability to travel to these far-flung places and capture such amazing footage, kids just presume it's been done by computers!

  • I am at peace :)

  • God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

  • BBC. Bloody brilliant company.

  • "A celebration of Natural History"....wtf???

    A CELEBRATION OF NATURE

  • God bless you David!!! And thank you.

  • RIP

  • @drumjunkie13 he isn't dead...

  • fantastic

    

  • Attenborough and the BBC make the best television in the world, The MP at the Culture, Media and Sport would do well to remember that the cretinous twat!

  • WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD... without people.

  • @xkatielouisejonesx true :(

  • @jkenny1971 I know exactly what you mean. I was watching the wonderful images, thinking how admirable is the work that Attenborough's done, but couldn't get Shatner's Mr. Tambourine Man out of my head.

  • You can't watch this video without smiling : )

  • lol,that'll be *frozen*.

  • And now,sadly,the gutter press,namely The Daily Mirror is accusing the BBC of fakery over certain elements of Froen Planet.I mean seriously just what do they expect? That the production team sit for days on end on an ice-flow within feet of a Polar Bear in order to get the ideal shot? Of course there has to be a certain amount of judicious editing,any sensible person would understand this.The BBC is world renowned for giving us superlative natural world programmes.We should just enjoy.

  • @popazz1 well said!! The whole series was a joy to watch from start to finish

  • @jurecki80 ,

    Thanks.I didn't follow the whole series,I generally wait for the dvd to be released.It just infuriates me when a production,& by association a highly admired & respected natuarlist like Sir David,is trashed when there is absolutely no cause to do this.British tv has been dumbed down enough with the plethora of mindless 'reality' programmes without certain elements trying to trash the reputation of the likes of Sir David.

  • 0:26 so human!

  • Fantastic!! David Attenborough is a master broadcaster, congratulations BBC!

  • TheClockworkPenguin - very sorry, I know what you mean but the sight of stupid was just too much. Everyone, back to the wonderful video now...

  • @dekebrodie I'm not religious, but you ought to be objective. Evolution is evidence of a God/intelligent design. However it is not proof. Evolution is evidence of a independent ecosystem. However it is not proof. You should read up on some metaphysics.

  • omg amazing

    

  • 1:11 monkey dancing to aerosmith's 'pink'.

  • @anothercrusader nice copy and pasting.

  • @simo58ful Why have a horse and plough the field yourself.

  • I watched it the first time after the last series of frozen planet...thank you Sir David Attenborough..... Was almost in tears....bbc at its best!!! Did you know that frozen planet shown in America uses a different narrator lol alec Baldwin.....lol ....there is a part where the orcas are shown....he says the orcas.....gangstas of the sea....lol....what a bunch of idiots lol

  • What a wonderful planet this is... even though powerful greedy people with no conscience don't care if they ruin it for the 'fast buck' !

    A great change is on the way ....Soon....and the Earth will be restored to it's former beauty.!

    The loveliest,most moving piece I've seen for years !! Thankyou to David and the makers of this vid !! You are truly a great guy !!

    '

  • David Attenborough = perfection :)

  • when can we expect an album david?

  • One word to describe this... Awesome!

  • Spread the word - like the Facebook page!

  • I love this, its amazing :')

  • Christmas no1 please 

  • ...and that's why the BBC are the best broadcasters in the world.

  • this is the bestt video ever made

  • it makes me sad to think that all of this will be gone if we keep doing what we're doing :(

  • What a nice video! :D

  • 2 minutes of immense beauty. It has genuinely moved me to tears. Everything about this is just extraordinary, life affirming and at peace. This must be what perfect happiness and contentment must feel like.

  • This is so beautiful

  • Dear BBC, this is awesome! HOWEVER, when I try to post this on Facebook there is no preview picture or text. It doesn't do it justice. It's not just me, other people that have posted have just had a boring, meaningless url link. You should sort this so sharing is more enriching for such a great piece of film. Thank you.

  • This is just and totally awesome. I love you Sir David!

  • 1.14 the monkey looks incredibly gay hahah

  • I got goosebumps watching this

  • How does Alan Sugar become a lord and Attenborough is just a Sir!

  • 3 people are on the ISS

  • Love you david!

    Being a Sir is too small an honour!

  • Beautiful! :D

  • Attenborough for christmas no.1!

  • Lets not forget the camera men,women, and support staff that spent YEARS out there.

  • what a wonderful man.

  • Brought a tear to my eye.. David, I love you

  • i can't even picture any kind of scenario where you would dislike this... it just doesn't make sense...

  • magnificence

  • Most awesome!

  • i got goosebum from this video . that's so incredible !

  • @nobreakpeter163978 I'd go and get that checked out at the doctors if i were you.

  • Ben Howard sent me here :D

  • fuck you killer whales!!

  • The combination of that song, the clips and Attenborough is superb!

  • Am i the only one thats reminded of Shatner?

  • This is great....but sad in a way....humans will kill themselves....long live the animals...they deserve to live

  • Wow what a combination

  • This is beautiful, but almost as good is muting and playing it to James Blake's 'The Wilhelm Scream'. So intense.

  • IM BAKED AND THIS IS SICK!

  • @BraY3010 You're baked? What are you a fucking baker.

  • @cartmanofsp aha. that was nearly funny... bro

  • vincerogers please dont be such a foul mouthed moron keep yor stupid crass comments to yourself.Great man producing great viewing

  • It's gold just like everything David does. What a wonderful man.

  • I can't believe we're destroying this wonderful world.

  • David Attenborough. A true British gem. Where would TV be without him!

  • Wonderful it is indeed. If only us humans didn't treat it so very badly.

  • The Voice! <3

  • Loving it......what's there not to like?!

  • Stunning. Generations have grown up and have been fascinated in natural history because of this man. It won't be the same without that calm soothing voice explaining the world to us mortals

  • @vincerogers Truth.

    Also the television license in the UK is so much cheaper than other ones in Europe yet it is the biggest and best broadcasting company in the world. Says something.

  • @vincerogers Think i prefer sky.

  • @5656565656able You obviously have no idea how vile and twisted Rupert Murdoch is, and how much damage he has done to this planet.

    No, I wouldn't touch Sky with a 50ft pole.

  • Comment removed

  • @anothercrusader

    So you've never used a swear word when commenting on a YT video?

    More over, you've never called a footballer a cunt?

  • @vincerogers cuz the bbc doesn't air football does it? thanks for the invalid statement

  • Just beautiful

  • HOW can you dislike this video?! simply brilliant.

  • totally awesome! how do they get these pictures? worth every penny of our tv licence just for this :)

  • Absolutely charming. An appropriate use of a lovely song too.

  • ..I don't usually cry at anything but this got me.

  • :')

  • David is possibly, probably one off the very most important people of the last 50 years, his work in bringing the our natural world to the masses is unrivalled to my knowledge. Long live this wonderful world and this wonderful man, I wish he was my dad!

  • * Sir David Attenborough

  • Why can't I post it to Facebook?? Keeps saying link cannot be found???! :-(

  • Beautiful! I wish I was David Attenborough. I am so jealous of his life!

  • Good to hear that the American networks have decided to show this now - finally waking up to what's going on?

  • oh my

  • Louis Armstrong himself, would've been proud of this version!

  • yes! would be an awesome christmas number one, David attenborough for thw win!!

  • Really just cried. Yah x

  • @tossell1969 same here

  • What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man!

  • you brought tears to my eyes david

  • @Chazzer131 - Me too...

  • yes - rush release it- get it on itunes - get it to number 1!!

  • Uplifting but sad. This guy is 85 years old, and still capable of communicating to us all from the ends of the earth with his gentle cultured voice and gestures. We may not hear that voice for much longer, I guess this is his swansong.

    But there is no point putting it out as a single, the impact would be lost without the stunning images.

  • @laconic94 David Attenborough may be old but he is very healthy.

    He will be able to make more documentaries for us. This isn't his swan song.

  • @laconic94 OMG, SWANSONG!!! I think not. - Mid 80's and still visiting the Arctic AND Antartic Arthritis may hinder him slightly but even that not showing in this series just seen

    I do agree with the rest of your comment though. x

  • how could anyone dislike this?! LOVE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH!! haha x

  • Eh, give us a few more decades and I'm sure we will have destroyed the rest of it.

  • Quirkliliciously magical :-)

  • Love it...Absolutely Love it!!!

  • Please don't release this as a single. It works beautifully as a voiceover to the visuals and a sign-off from the great man. Without the imagery you just have some spoken word, it would cheapen the whole thing and turn it into the same commercial enterprise you get every year. Leave it as it is, Attenborough is better than that
