Planet Earth III, Episode Six – ‘Extremes’

I guess the title was to give us a signpost that there was going to be some mood whiplash in this episode.

Planet Earth III, Episode Five – ‘Forests’

Forests seem beautiful, tranquil and quiet at first sight, but the further in we delve in we see that there is a lot going on.

Planet Earth III , Episode Four – ‘Freshwater’

Water is one of the most important elements of life, and so there is a lot of life which revolves around water.

Big Brother 20

I’m not too shocked to see it back, though I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! It’s also on it’s third channel, after being on Channel 4 and Channel 5.

Planet Earth III: Episode Three – ‘Deserts and Grasslands’

Deserts and grasslands are two pretty different environments, given that this series has given us two water based ones and another to come. And in Planet Earth II Deserts and Grasslands each got their own episode! But, as this episode of Planet Earth III showed, deserts and grasslands are connected.

Planet Earth III: Episode Two – ‘Oceans’

From the coasts in the previous episode, we take a deep dive into the oceans.

Planet Earth III: Episode One – ‘Coasts’

The very popular award winning documentary series returns for a third series. It’s a trilogy, and as the poster for Scary Movie 3 put it “great trilogies come in threes”, so this will be the final one. (Unlike the Scary Movie franchise, which squeezed out a couple more. But then, they lied in the poster for the first movie which claimed there wouldn’t even be a sequel).

Once again, Sir. David Attenborough is the presenter and narrator. He begins this series by talking about Charles Darwin, who came up with the theory of evolution. The programme noted that a lot has changed since Darwin’s time, and that animals have to adapt not just to the usual changes to the natural world, but changes directly caused by us humans.

Sometimes there are those months when you have a lot going on meaning you can’t fully commit to a full blogpost, but I want to continue my record of posting something on here at least once a month for as long as possible, so here’s some random film and TV stuff.

The summer Now! release, always welcome, even though summer for much of Europe this year has been a sobering reminder that the world is burning, and for here the UK has been a rainy washout.
