BBC Video and their distributor, Warner, have this morning announced a striking new Blu-ray Disc set called the
BBC High Definition Natural History Collection. This 8-disc package brings together every episode from four of the BBC's great recent documentary mini-series:
- Planet Earth Episodes 1-11 (2006)
- Galapagos Episodes 1-3 (2006)
- Ganges Episodes 1-3 (2007)
- Wild China Episodes 1-6 (2008)
For those of you interested in collecting these separately, but haven't done so yet, this is a neat way to get them all in one place. Or it would make a great gift set, or a teaching aid for schools equipped with Blu-ray players.
Content appears to be identical to the separate releases. It will be available on
July 22nd, meaning that
Wild China will be available as part of this set a few weeks
before being available separately. The cost of the
BBC High Definition Natural History Collection is $179.98 SRP. Here is the gorgeous package art, courtesy of our friends at Warner:
