Excellent

The title says it all in this marvelous retrospective of the work of the renowned BBC Natural History Unit. In addition to fascinating descriptions of filming techniques Parsons gives behind-the-scenes exclusives, and hot gossip on the personalities involved. I particularly enjoyed the details of David Attenborough's burdensome riders for location filming - his trailer was to be stocked at all times with chilled Evian, fettucine alfredo, grilled fish, 200 gardenias and a huge bowl of M & Ms (no red ones). Parsons recalls how Sir David nearly stormed out of the gig when filming gorillas in the Cameroon rainforest after a runner fouled-up on the mineral water; but pro that he is, Attenborough soldiered on, making do with San Pellegrino and going on to provide the world with some of the most startling images of human interaction with these majestic primates.
