  1. I know that Sir David's retiring soon. I hope it's not health related.

  2. I only watch nature shows because of Sir David. I just spent 2 days downing my fave episode in HD only to find out it's a US version with sigourney. When are the yanks gonna stop buying our shows and then wrecking them? It's beyond a joke.

  3. Listen this better go to sigourney because i'm a giant fan!And Sir David good decision on picking sigourney weaver on narration. Anyway I only watch planet earth because I want to here her. Even know there is something that I watch all the time when but when planet earth is on I skip my show and go on that and everyone should like it because all kinds of people are turning it down and that's not right they should be able to want to watch it and so just wanted to tell you I always auto tone it so yah I watch it all the time so keep up the GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Geoff, you refer to "yanks" as if there ISN'T a transnational communications conglomerate at play here. Try writing to the BBC and tell them to stop making multi-million dollar deals with NBC, CBS, Fox, etc. I bet it'll work...
