I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.

Don't worry, we'll just get a bunch of seals to kill the octopuses:

And then some orcas to kill the seals:

And then just get SeaWorld to come in and mop up the orcas.

No, that's the beautiful part. When winter rolls around, the orcas simply freeze to death.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Why can't we have more narrators like Attenborough? You would expect that TV execs would think - hey, everybody loved that guy and he got all those awards and knighthoods... Let's hire people like him.

But instead we get these "Wooo, guess who's coming? Is that a shark? Oh yeah!" dudes. :(

They dubbed over Attenborough's voice when Planet Earth was released in the States.

It was a god drat travesty. It was Sigourney Weaver, but they also changed the script to draw attention to the technological innovations that allowed them capture some of the footage.

'For the first time ever, we have footage of X using Y'

It was loving annoying.

Thankfully, the Blu Ray collection is the BBC version.

Anyone mentally damaged enough to even consider committing a travesty like choosing to have Sir David Attenborough's dulcet tones dubbed over is going to a special circle of Hell when they die.

I thought they redubbed RA with Oprah?

Although googling suggests that the real reason they need to do it is to cut it down to a 45 minute timeslot.

When Borders did the closeout I managed to snag a BluRay of Planet Earth that had various audio tracks, including Attenborough. It came bundled with "Life" too, but that only had Oprah as an option. She wasn't terrible, but compared to Attenborough she may as well have been a bass guitar with strings made of screaming penis skins.

They did, but each of the BBC series was redubbed with a different narrator. Oprah on one, Sigourney Weaver on another, I think Laurence Fishburne did one as well.

You'd think just editing it down would have been cheaper than hiring an all new narrator. Our just having him do both versions.
