BBC’s Life in Cold Blood is veteran naturalist Sir David Attenborough’s final chapter of his epic Life nature documentary series, and is every bit as superlative as his previous programs like The Life of Mammals and The Life of Birds.
For once more, as he has done many times in his distinguished career, Attenborough gently – and unobtrusively – delivers an utterly fascinating insight into the world in which we live – this time exploring the lives of amphibians and reptiles, and what fascinating and beautiful creatures they are indeed !
I have been watching David Attenborough’s ( known affectionately in my family as “uncle David”, pictured below ) nature documentaries for more than 20 years and every single program that he has written and presented have unceasingly kept me captivated, very often with a sense of indescribable awe.
His infectious warmth and enthusiastic passion for the natural world and the creatures that dwell within has taught me and my brother an unspoken sense of respect and appreciation for the living world around us.
Life in Cold Blood – My highest recommendation.

one – Nope, but it must be the closest thing ever; it might even have been the inspiration. :]
