"Planet Earth"

We watched the first DVD in the series last night. Like all the other BBC productions, the photography is spectacular, and David Attenborough's narration is of course classic. There are many memorable scenes of chases: a snow leopard trying to catch a mountain goat, a shark catching a dolphin, a pack of wild dogs catching an impala. One thing that kept bugging Manisha and me was the frequent cuts in scenes. It felt like they were cutting every 15 seconds or so and jumping continents without any warning.
