Definitely 'Fresh Water' - Angel Falls and the Grand Canyon look amazing.

She was the narrator for the US TV broadcast of the series. They changed it back to David Attenborough for the US HD-DVD/Blu-ray release.

That's the one! I think when DA is describing the Colorado River and then says 'The Grand Canyon ...' is also brilliant - definitely one to show off your system!

Re: Best Planet Earth Scene???

They've been playing the series on BBC HD via Sky HD recently and I recorded all the episodes. Do you think Bu-Ray will be even better than the quality Sky HD broadcast?

Trying to decide whether to buy it on Blu-Ray or not...

Have you actually recieved it yet? because anything over £18 from Amazon is at risk of customs and if it gets caught you are looking at paying another £15+ on top.
