Review The Life Of Mammals - Part 1 / 2 Entertain Video:The Life of Mammals is a thorough and entertaining overview of one of evolution's greatest success stories: the rise of mammals. In a clear and concise way, presenter David Attenborough and his team of wildlife cameramen introduce the viewer to many of the myriad species of mammals alive today. Episode 1 begins with the basics in "A Winning Design", clarifying what makes a mammal different from reptiles and birds-no, it isn't egg-laying: both the platypus and the echidna are egg-laying mammals; it's their ability to adapt. And it's this adaptability that becomes the crux of the remainder of the series. "Insect Hunters" focuses on mammals who have specifically adapted to eating insects, from the giant anteater and the armoured armadillo to bats, which have evolved into complex and effective hunters. "Plant Predators" demonstrates the particular (and often peculiar) adaptations of herbivores; "Chisellers" is about those mammals who feed primarily on roots and seeds, ranging from tree-dwelling squirrels to opportunistic mice and rats; and "Meat Eaters" talks about the evolutionary arms race that exists between predators and prey, and the unique adaptations of both individual and pack hunters. The series continues in Part 2 -Robert Burrow.

Review The Year Of The Working Sheep Dog [2000] / Contender Entertainment Group:A fascinating document of a fast-disappearing way of life, The Year of the Working Sheepdog is an examination of a living, working farm. Followed by cameras over the course of 12 months, shepherd David Kennard and narrator Christopher Timothy take the viewer through the seasons on Kennard's North Devon farm, accompanied at all times by his faithful set of Border Collie sheepdogs. With the Atlantic coastline forming a spectacular backdrop, the shepherd and his dogs demonstrate the incredible relationship between man and animal, a relationship rarely matched for sheer instinct and communication. With its low budget production and Timothy's enthusiastic narration, The Year of the Working Sheepdog is ever so slightly reminiscent of an old-style education film, but nonetheless paints a charming picture of a longstanding way of life. There is little evidence of the increasing mechanisation of the industry and the crises that would affect many farms, Kennard's included, but this is certainly recommended to those with an interest in the countryside and its unique ways. -Phil Udell.

Review Life On Earth [1979] / 2 Entertain Video:David Attenborough had been a celebrated natural-history presenter ever since Zoo Quest in the 1950s, yet Life on Earth (1979) was something on an entirely different scale. With 150 minutes of the best selected clips from the 13-programme series, this offers a chronological account of the flora and fauna of planet earth over a period of 3,500 million years. Whether recounting the first journey from the sea to the land, the development of insects and flowers, or "The First Forests" and "The Lords of the Air", Attenborough's enthusiasm is infectious. He guides us through "The Infinite Variety" of life from microbes to marsupials, via an unforgettable meeting with mountain gorillas, to conclude with "The Compulsive Communicators", mankind itself. Three years in the making, involving one-and-a-half million miles of travel and featuring some of the most beautiful, breathtaking and ambitious photography then seen on television, Life on Earth was the first natural history blockbuster. It redefined TV by showing that an epic, serious wildlife documentary could be a massive popular success. As such it remains a true television landmark, and paved the way for Attenborough's The Living Planet (1984), The Trials of Life (1990), The Private Life of Plants (1994), as well as The Planets (1999) and Walking With Dinosaurs (1999). -Gary S Dalkin.
