Attenborough, Radiohead, Hans Zimmer, Spitting Dolphins. Four of my five dinner guests.

Looks epic. Literally had goosebumps when I clicked on the video. As it's been already said, Hans Zimmer, Radiohead and David Attenborough are a perfect dream made combination and when you add the beautiful cinematography to the mix the result will be breathtaking.

[Trada]

Totally fucking breath taking.

[Alan_X]

Stunning stuff and the ‘making of’ section at the end was fascinating. Those waves were mental!

[Trada]

Loved the whole fake killer whales V Dolphins bit.

2 different species trying to talk to each other some may have been past mates meeting up again.

Some many wow moments like the bird eating fish.

Amazing TV.

Where did they say that was filmed, my daughter was too busy jabbering about dolphins to hear!

[WhereAngelsPlay]

The Dolphins knowing that the seaweed had healing properties blew my mind,serious intelligence.

I forgot this was on, I need to watch it.

[The Gulleysucker]

I loved that sequence about the dolphins and the false killer whales.

But all of it, it's just amazing footage and hats off to the people who took it.

Yeah, amazing stuff really. Wildlife cameramen and women are incredible really, on land it’s tough enough but something about the unknown of being in the water with all those amazing creatures that’s really brave! Imagine getting too close to those walruses for example!

Am sat here with my mouth open at the bird eating fish scene 

[martinsquirtle]

One of the only shows that simultaneously leaves me amazed, ecstatic and a tad melancholic.

[dave 5516]

I loved the part with the wrasse mating, it was the same as watching cichlid's in an aquarium. Very similar in lot's way are the genus Labridae and Cichlidae....other than the most labridoid's being protogynous hermaphrodites.

[Trada]

And happy that it match Planet Earth 2 for ratings over 10m and that will go up with time shift.

These shows really are TV events.

[Mutton Geoff]

Simply brilliant That Walrus section was good

[The G in Gerrard]

Doesn't seem real at times. Amazing television.

Yea my fave bit of show.

[Nitramdorf]

Just remembered that starfish, I think, shovelling in the food. It looked a bit speeded up but don't think it was. I guess if your going to be a gutty sod its good to have a load of arms to stuff it in your mouth with.

[Kashinoda]

First episode was absolutely stunning. Was gutted we didn't get anything sea related in Planet Earth II - obviously didn't make any sense with this round the corner.

Love the fact these BBC documentaries are so universally well received across all demographics. Doubled X-Factors ratings on Sunday!

And of course I expect Blue Planet II to join its older brother here:

I also liked the ladyboy fish.

Fascinating creatures though. I didn't find them attractive, it's just a bit confusing.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

Next week is the deep.

We're going to see some weird shit, weird shit that doesn't belong on Earth.

[Crosby Nick]

[Mr F]

Just...I have no words. Wow!

[TepidT2O]

The fish with the see through head ... it had eyes that looked through it’s skull!!!

[Trada]

Its all just CGI really isnt it?

Totally mindblowing.

The vents making carbon and threw in a few jump scares.

[fudge]

Come on totally CGI and a made up name flapjack octopus

Dave is just taking the piss.



A fish with a see through head? Yes Dave pull the other one.



  I can't wait until next week.

[El Lobo]

I don’t normally like those ones as much but that was so fascinating

I know what you mean. That's why the making of bits at the end are so important.

[Macphisto80]

A lake at the bottom of the ocean. Reminded me of that scene in Prometheus, only this was more alien than that, and it's real.

[jillcwhomever]

The Deep episode is always incredible, I remember the first one is just mind blowing the creatures they point out. The bit at the end when they were going under the icebergs was stunning too, why would you do it, it looked terrifying. 

[clinical]

When I watch this all I can think about is how us humans make it more difficult for each one of those species to survive.

[El Lobo]

Its grim isn't it?

Eventually we'll wipe all life off the face of the planet apart from ourselves, and then realise that we cant survive without a proper eco-system and that'll be that. Blade Runner.

[The Bournemouth Red]

Just awesome. again.

[fowlermagic]

That lake in the sea bit was just crazy and when the sub started leaking while 500 mtrs below the surface ...yes sorry some of that leak would have been me pissing my pants in fear. Great awe inspiring show ....as we continue to pollute the world with our crap. Sorry Planet Earth.

[Ziltoid]

A lake of Brine. I assume that's where John West tuna lives

I'd forgotten about the leaking bit, the woman standing there talking too camera while they are trying to stop the leak. If that was me I'd be climbing the walls.

Haven't seen the latest episode yet, but saw this rather depressing image on twitter.  Apparently taken from deep in the Mariana Trench:



It was followed by lots of comments about why the tin wouldn't be crushed followed by this which did make me chuckle:
'I love Blue Panet 2 - I have never seen wild Spam before . . .'
