Darwin's Beetle

YouTube link.

This video clip comes from the BBC's new "Life" documentary series.  All of the David Attenborough nature documentaries are superb in terms of photography, as this segment illustrates.  The music is wonderfully appropriate, and the humor... well, for that you have to wait until the very very end.

It's true, you can't beat an Englishman's accent when it comes to narration. David Attenborough, Steven Fry, Patrick Stewart... gold! Mr. Attenborough really capture's the enthusiastic wisdom when he talks, due to his personal knowledge of the subjects which makes him great.

It is so tacky and horrible that the US version is narrated by Oprah. "We'd rather hear the series narrated by a person who is not even a noted voice actor, who has no experience with the subject matter. A 'daytime television personality' reading a script is preferable to a naturalist who has a lifetime of experience hosting this particular type of production & possesses deep knowledge of the subject matter...and who has a distinguished English accent."
