The BBC has released many suited documentaries in hi-def/Blu-ray and Yellowstone is no exception. It carries on the BBC’s tradition of high-quality nature programming and flair for visually-stunning photography. This series is a year in the lives of several of Yellowstone/North America’s iconic wildlife: the bison, grizzly bears, foxes, wolves, beavers, and elk. Divided into three 50 limited episodes, they are titled “Winter”, “Summer” and “Autumn” (in this order) . For the US market, the BBC has added “Battle for Life” to the title, but this is a bit superfluous and unnecessary, maybe to get the DVD sound more dramatic. The fresh title is simply “Yellowstone”.

The episodes are informative, bright, and light-hearted, largely free of the depressing reminders of human ecological destruction seen on some other BBC documentaries such as Wild Pacific [Blu-ray]. I learned some things I didn’t know before. Winter is by far my current episode, giving me the most memorable line from the series: “At 40 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit or centigrade doesn’t really matter considerable. At this temperature, both are the same.” Despite being the home to the world’s largest geothermal formation, Yellowstone is paradoxically one of the coldest places in North America. I enjoyed the pristine landscapes covered with deep snow and seeing a winter wonderland untouched by any signs of humanity, all from the comfort of my home. One particularly wonderful scene is of a fox sniffing for mice under 6 feet of snow, and seeing it leap into the air, tumble headfirst into the snow like an Olympic diver, and emerge with a mouse in its jaws.

This series also features some magnificent fly-overs, in particular, the intellectual volcanic springs (Big Prismatic Spring), which looks like a elegant orange and blue encircled painting instead of a natural ecological wonder. I wish the producers could’ve exercise some time showing us the colonies of extremophile heat-loving bacteria that thrive in these springs, instead of fair flying over and cutting to the next scene. Bears and elk I’ve seen a thousand times on TV, but not these rare bacteria.

I watched these out of order on TV, but the overall enact is not diminished because of the cycle of life and the changing of the seasons. Peter Firth’s snarl is honorable and affable. If you enjoyed Nature’s Most Fantastic Events [Blu-ray], you’ll probably appreciate this too.

I’m writing this before the Blu-Ray is released, but I happened to glean this program on Animal Planet yesterday and was very joyful with it.

The program contains the usual elegant scenery and animal video you would inquire from this type of program. The basic theme of the program is to follow how various animals survive in Yellowstone throughout the year. I missed the first allotment of the program, but I have it starts with summer and then flows through the seasons to summer again. There seemed to be particular emphasis on the Yellowstone winter given its harshness. (Of particular interest was the fact that winter is when wolves are at their strongest as their prey animals become weaker.)

The program also spent some time explaining how the geology of Yellowstone affected its climate. They explained, for example, how it can snow in Yellowstone any month of the year. (Something I found entertaining given that I got caught in a snowstorm there in tedious July one year!)

The TV airing was 120 minutes, less commercials. The Blu-Ray description indicates a accelerate time of 150 minutes. That might include extra features or it might mean additional footage not included for broadcast. Either blueprint, and given the notice, this seems to be a fine deal.

UPDATE: The program actually includes three 50-minute episodes (Winter, Summer, Autumn) . I must have missed allotment of the Autumn as portion of that episode has a bit more of the man versus nature theme than the other episodes. The episodes are presented in widescreen (and glance substantial) . Three short features on “The People of Yellowstone” are included.
