If you have not had a chance to see any of the Planet Earth series they are amazing on many levels, from the story to the cinematography to the sheer awe of our planet. There is even a behind the scenes episode that shows how everything has been put together. Narrated by the venerable (and knighted) naturalist David Attenborough, this seven-part British-led documentary -- shifting to BBC America, after the prior version aired on Discovery Channel -- again spans the globe, yielding breathtaking images in the struggle for survival. Already a huge hit in the U.K., the episodes appear somewhat arbitrary in their classification, with the first five divided into "Islands," "Mountains," "Jungles," "Deserts" and "Grasslands."

some people can watch something like this and still think that there is no Creator

I've been looking for this on PBS. Thanks for pointing out that it is/will be playing on BBC America. A channel we did not get. Hopefully it will make it to either PBS or Amazon Prime. Looks like it will be worth waiting for!
Whatever you do, don't set your coffee cup adjacent to your turps cup.

The original Planet Earth, airing in 2006, was one of the first natural documentary series to be made in high definition (HD) and Planet Earth II utilized new technologies developed since the first series, including ultra high definition (4K), improved camera stabilization, remote recording and aerial drone technology
My guess is that PBS will air sometime in March-April. I cannot wait. Sidd
