The Blue Planet – Seas of Life
Although the oceans comprise two-thirds of planet Earth, much of what goes on beneath their surface remains shrouded in mystery, and most certainly soaking wet. The BBC series The Blue Planet: Seas of Life dips into the briny deep, exploring an aquatic community teeming with life. Underwater cameras reveal a capricious world where seas shift seasonally, with ecosystems that thrive during long summer days and turn fiercely unforgiving as the weather changes. Footage of coastal life boggles the mind: Killer whales attack sea lion pups as they play in the shallow surf; baby turtle hatchlings race to the sea, pursued by ravenous predators. Narrated by David Attenborough, this four-part series was hailed by London’s Times “as awe-inspiring as anything you are ever likely to see on television.” It is visually spectacular. For anyone who has ever stumbled across an episode of Wild Discovery and become instantly hooked, Blue Planet is a must-see – a snapshot of the natural world in all its raw beauty.

does the feed come through really broken and choppy for anyone else?
For anyone interested in Oceanography or the environmental state of the sea, there is one lecture you must view. There are several variations of this lecture… all of them are good. I am endorsing these videos from a totally disinterested point of view. As a rule, I seldom watch any video more than once. I’ve watched and re-watched this video about six times. What you will learn is absolutely JAW DROPPING! Go to YouTube and search for SHIFTING BASELINES. The lecturist is Dr Jeremy Jackson, PhD of The Scripps Institute of Oceanography. It is awesome. Although all his lectures are mostly the same, he drops and adds some materials from each variation of his lecture. So you will learn a little bit more by watching all his lecture variants.
Well the feed looks fine to me (if you’re talking about the RSS – FeedBurner).
The way I get through all the choppiness is to open 2 pages at the same time so when one is buffering the other is playing. But you have to let the first one buffer for at least 10mins(if you have a slow computer like me)then on the second buffering page move the placebar dial on the bottom to the number of minutes the red line reaches on from the first one. So when you’ve watched the first page to the point where the red line on the placebar dial is, the second page will be ready to pick up from that point because you’ve already placed the marker on the second page to the spot the first page had buffered to at the end of the 10min wait before you started watching the film. Now do the same to page one – estimate and move the dial to where the page has buffered on the second page so when you’ve finished watching up to where page 2 has buffered to you can switch back to page one and not have to wait for it to buffer. Gosh, hopefully this makes sense…c ya
I am new to the site. I would like to know if there is more to this than I am seeing. At the top it says there is a collection and it says play list contains all episodes. However I only see one episode. Am i a dunce or is there only one episode? If there is its great. I just wanted to see more. Thanks.
Hi @lou,
Right next to the “Play” button there are two buttons with which you can go trough the episodes (8 in total).
You are the best! Thank you for helping me!
Okay is it me? I clicked on the arrow button and it says it has been blocked in my region is there another way to watch it?

I can’t fulscreen, it says something about not working on the mainsite. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.
Whats wrong with these docs, they dont play or there bloody choppy!!!!! Or some stop after 50mins and say you have to pay to continue.
It probably going to sound kind of ****** but sometimes I tend to be obsessive compulsive about some things. Anyway, I have found a little misspell: Watch the full documentary now (playlist contains all epi_z_odes)
