DAVID YES- OPRAH NO
Sadly, Oprah's narration of "Life" is horrible. Read some of the reviews for the single title "Life" by Oprah. Her narration is both childish and dreadful. If you want the best of these two beautiful and astonishing programs get "Planet Earth" and "Life" both narrated by David Attenborough. They are both available on Blu Ray and you will pay the about same amount as for the Attenborough-Oprah package. Both Life and Planet Earth are spectacular and feature some of the greatest nature photography you will ever see. I'm sorry to give this just one star. If both titles were by David Attenborough it would be five stars.
Thanks for Nothing
Bundled edition with David Attenborough on "Planet Earth" and Oprah on "Life"? No, thank you. The only reason that I can figure that they bundled it this way is because they cannot sell the Oprah version of "Life." Nobody wants it (except for women who are home at 4 p.m. on weekdays), so just drop it. Call me when you bundle both Attenborough versions together.
"O," Beware....
I have nothing against Oprah. But, Sir David Attenborough is the top nature narrator on the planet. When there is an option, why take anyone else? I bought the Life series with Attenborough. Not only is he a great narrator, the series is complete--unlike the US verson. The US version is shortened for commercials and the extra "How it was filmed" segment is not included with each episode as it with the UK version.
All-in-all, the UK version is far superior in many ways.
