Re: "The wonder of Sir David Attenborough"
They won't be able to replace David Attenborough -- he's not just the
voice over, he's interacting with the critters. Maybe PBS Nature will
pick it up uncut.
Here's a news clip about him and the series:

Also the trailers are to die for. My favorite is the "Frog Chorus"

You know, I wouldn't mind watching the US version of these shows if
they didn't butcher them so badly. I remember 'walking with
prehistoric beasts' being virtually unwatchable on US Discovery. The
"Planet Earth" US version was annoying too. I'm happy to wait for a
US screening of life in cold blood, but I suspect they'll just ruin
it... probably replacing David Attenborough with some Hollywood C-
lister who struggles to pronounce the names of the animals
correctly. Maybe I'll just shell out for the UK DVD when it comes
out (end of feb?).
