Billed as the last in David Attenborough's series of Life nature documentaries, Life in Cold Blood leaves you hoping that proves not to be the case. 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. Life in Cold Blood looks at reptiles and amphibians, bringing into focus a series of creatures very much of all shapes and sizes. Across the episodes that make up the series, the filmmakers delve into the lives and mannerisms of its subjects with some quite stunning camera work, bringing to our screens things that have quite simply never been seen before. As much as perhaps we shouldn't take for granted the heights that Attenborough's work easily scales, Life in Cold Blood happily matches the standards of his earlier series. Often genuinely jaw-dropping, and never less than completely absorbing, the DVD set is rounded off with some equally intriguing bonus features that delve into the complex production of the program itself. If Life in Cold Blood really does bring the Life series to an end, then that's even more reason to cherish it. Regardless, this is an extraordinary series that'll make you look at snakes, frogs, crocodiles, and turtles in very different ways. Unmissable. --Simon Brew

creepy, crawly, incredible December 1, 2008
Attenborough is in fine form in this series, his own pleasant quirkiness matching the oddity and fascination of the reptiles he trots before us. The programs are thoughtfully organized, so there's enough continuity to let us know we are actually learning something about reptiles, rather than just seeing a proliferation of bizarre life-forms. As good the second time as they are the first time through, these discs are almost sure to satisfy.
Entertaining and Educational! November 3, 2008
Life in Cold Blood is actually a set of documentaries that bring to life some of the most fascinating creatures on earth: amphibians and reptiles.
The amount of effort and research put into this project, along with the latest in technology equipment, helps transport the viewer to the creatures' natural habitat creating a strong sense of excitement and anticipation.
Moreover, David Attenborough's narrative abilities are the cherry on the cake in what can only be described as flawless work. In short, he does a great job of presenting these magnificent and sometimes terrifying creatures.
Strongly recommended, for those with a soft spot for all things natural, along with the National Geographic's Search for the Ultimate Survivor, Chased by Sea Monsters, and the Walking with Dinosaurs, Walking with Beasts and Walking with Cavemen series. 5 Stars!
FORMIDABLE!! October 18, 2008
Another winner! All previous reviews say almost everything that has to be said about this wonderful DVD to convince a buyer to purchase it. For reptile lovers, this is the BBC's top production and probably the only one featuring Mr Attenborough speaking exclusively on cold blooded creatures. From the other reviews it is not clear what kind of animals are filmed, well the answer is simple: All kinds of the reptiles and amphibians participate in this fascinating documentary; from frogs, caecilians and geckos through crocodiles, snakes and turtles. Absolutely stunning!. If you liked the series from "Planet Earth", "Blue Planet" or "Life in the Undergrowth", this DVD is for you. The BBC's missing documentary on animals is finally here; enjoy the cold blooded creatures. It deserves a ten star rating, indeed!
Another precious gem by Attenborough..... September 21, 2008
If you enjoy his documentaries - Life of Birds and Life in the Undergrowth - then this documentary ranks just as high up there with those two greats. Fascinating, great photography and content, narrated by the Master himself. It just does not get better! Well.... what are you waiting for? Order!
LOVE IT ALL September 19, 2008
MY HUSBAND AND I JUST LOVE TO WATCH ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTORIES THAT DAVID ATTENBOROUGH IS A PART OF. WE LOVE TO LEARN ABOUT THE ANIMALS AND WATCH THEM EVERY NIGHT WE JUST ABOUT HAVE ALL OF THEM AND NEVER GET ENOUGH OF WATCHING THEM. THEY ARE INFORMITIVE AND WELL PRODUCED. WE RECOMMEND THEM ALL TO EVERYONE TO WATCH.
