Sets the standard for a wildlife documentary. Highly educational with stunning photography and well written narration. I visited Yellowstone in 1995 and wish that I had been able to see this series before my visit. Viewing this series should be mandatory for all aspiring wildlife documentary producers. Rather bizarrely, in 2017 the BBC decided to produce a new three part documentary, again based on the seasons, but this time with on-screen 'presenters'. The result is awful, with lingering shots of presenters walking up hills, speaking as if we are all morons. Why they decided to do it, I've no idea. It's like trying to replace Champagne with Cider. I have this original series on DVD. I won't be buying the 2017 version.
... View MoreThis documentary proved to be one of the best docu-films ever viewed by me. But it's a production from BBC, so there's no surprise here. The narrator(s) also set an example of how a narration to a film should be. The sound tracks are right on the track to accommodate every scene. The cinematography of it only proved how good these BBC camera guys are on top in this trade. Every scene in this film is like a painting, so beautiful and so breath-taking.I could never imagine how viewers could give this film below 7, and those who gave 1 to 5 of it should have their eyes and brains checked; obviously CAT scan is needed, besides the visual and hearing problems. What you guys need? Because you rarely see tourists, SUV and RV in this Yellow Stone? What's wrong with you guys?
... View MoreWe love this documentary. This must be one of the best documentary in its category. The narrator is excellent and the visuals are breath taking. I wish I had an opportunity to watch this when I was growing up.It comprises of 3 episodes: Winter, Summer and Autumn. All of them are excellent.Overall, excellent value. I recommend it whole heartedly, especially if you have kids in the family. I ended up buying one as a gift for my nephews. Hopefully, they will enjoy learning from it as I did.-SGB
... View MoreBBC nature documentaries are always worth watching as the images captured are quite remarkable. This BBC series, which consists of 3 episodes, is divided into winter, summer, and autumn. The series examines wildlife at Yellowstone National Park, which is the world's first national park and situated mainly in Wyoming, America. The three episode series focuses primarily on wolves, elk, pronghorns, beavers, trees, and bison as well as many other wildlife. Overall, Yellowstone is an amazing documentary. The images shot were captivating and inspirational. It's unbelievable how some scenes were shot as they were highly detailed and visually striking. One other factor worth mentioning is the narration. The script is written beautifully and merges perfectly with the imagery. I look forward to the next BBC documentary.
