Billed as the last in David Attenborough’s series of Life nature documentaries, Life in Cold Blood leaves you hoping that proves not to be the case. For once more, as he has done many times in his distinguished career, Attenborough gently–and unobtrusively–delivers an utterly fascinating insight into the world in which we live. Life in Cold Blood looks at reptiles and amphibians, bringing into focus a series of creatures very much of all shapes and sizes. Across the episodes that make up the series, the filmmakers delve into the lives and mannerisms of its subjects with some quite stunning camera work, bringing to our screens things that have quite simply never been seen before. As much as perhaps we shouldn’t take for granted the heights that Attenborough’s work easily scales, Life in Cold Blood happily matches the standards of his earlier series. Often genuinely jaw-dropping, and never less than completely absorbing, the DVD set is rounded off with some equally intriguing bonus features that delve into the complex production of the program itself. If Life in Cold Blood really does bring the Life series to an end, then that’s even more reason to cherish it. Regardless, this is an extraordinary series that’ll make you look at snakes, frogs, crocodiles, and turtles in very different ways. Unmissable. –Simon Brew

Rating: - Terrific value and beautiful films
I wish David Attenborough could continue to produce more series like this. There is a terrific combination of great cinematography and discovery of new things in this series. My favorite parts deal with the lizards, but all are very well done. Several years ago, PBS/NATURE produced a four part series on the Reptiles. There is no comparison between that series and this one, which is really first rate!
Rating: - A masterpiece of the beautiful and bizarre
David Attenborough has done it again with this incredible showcase of the reptile and amphibian world, revealing all sorts of unbelievably colorful species in all of their glory, as well as some bizarre and unusual mating and survival behaviors that were probably little known until now outside of scientific circles, let alone filmed for a major production. This may be just what is needed to elevate the “charisma factor” of these humble but intriguing creatures in the popular imagination so they can … Read More
Rating: - creepy, crawly, incredible
Attenborough is in fine form in this series, his own pleasant quirkiness matching the oddity and fascination of the reptiles he trots before us. The programs are thoughtfully organized, so there’s enough continuity to let us know we are actually learning something about reptiles, rather than just seeing a proliferation of bizarre life-forms. As good the second time as they are the first time through, these discs are almost sure to satisfy.
Rating: - Entertaining and Educational!
Life in Cold Blood is actually a set of documentaries that bring to life some of the most fascinating creatures on earth: amphibians and reptiles.
The amount of effort and research put into this project, along with the latest in technology equipment, helps transport the viewer to the creatures’ natural habitat creating a strong sense of excitement and anticipation.
Moreover, David Attenborough’s narrative abilities are the cherry on the cake in what can only be described as flawless work. … Read More
Rating: - FORMIDABLE!!
Another winner! All previous reviews say almost everything that has to be said about this wonderful DVD to convince a buyer to purchase it. For reptile lovers, this is the BBC’s top production and probably the only one featuring Mr Attenborough speaking exclusively on cold blooded creatures. From the other reviews it is not clear what kind of animals are filmed, well the answer is simple: All kinds of the reptiles and amphibians participate in this fascinating documentary; from frogs, caecilians and geckos … Read More
