prion Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 For all of you unfortunate wildlife lovers without access to the BBC (UK TV), you might like to know that they are currently showing an absolutely breathtaking wildlife series called "Planet Earth". I've just discovered that they have put all the best clips on their website on a Planet Earth Explorer page. Have a look and especially check out the great white shark attack off the coast of South Africa - stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herpguy Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Non UK usersUnfortunately you are unable to access this content. This is offered only to audiences in the UK. That stinks, it sounds pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkworm Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Yeah, way to limit your audience BBC. We don't mind the probably ever present anti-American messages in it, we get those all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustStuit Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Too bad Discovery gave up science. Nothing to do on TV anymore. Has BBC gone the way of Discovery? Sounds like it still has some science/nature shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkworm Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Watch the Science Channel too. It's a Discovery Channel. The History Channel also has some good science on it sometimes, as does History International. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustStuit Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I don't think I get National Geographic or Discovery Science. We get basic cable which is like 2-99 but missing many channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have basic cable, but I still get National Geographic. If you have a TV guide, be sure to look at it. Also, I thought my TV was missing some channels, but if you go through every channel by pressing the buttons like 6 then 1 for 61 (not the up/down ones) you may find some hidden channels.

JustStuit Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 The online TV guide says it is channel 145 for National Geographic. I did find out I get "Discovery Health Channel" what ever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prion Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thats' such a shame you can't see the website! They say it's "because the member organisations who supply the content are funded with public money to serve the UK population". Maybe they'll let you read the press pack. There was some amazing footage of snow leopards, apparently the first decent footage of them in the wild - then they described how it had taken them 3 years to get a few minutes of pictures. They also had a wild giant panda and her newborn cub in a cave. It was all filmed in 'high definition'. The best I could do is this picture of a great white hunting, from BBC Brasil. .
