655 The Living Planet




First  viewed  :  January  1984

This  was  the  sequel  to  Life  On  Earth, another  monumental  natural  history  series  put  together  and  presented  by  David  Attenborough. This  one  was  segmented by   habitat  rather  than  tracing  the  evolutionary  tree  so  there  was  an  episodes  about  deserts , the  tundra, the  deep  ocean, the  rain  forest  and  so  on. There  was  a  strong  ecological  message  throughout  which  may  have  helped  the  emergence  of  green  issues  later  in  the  decade.

Because  of  my  circumstances  I wasn't  able  to  watch  this  as  religiously  as  Life  on  Earth  but   I  think  I've  probably  seen  most  of  it.
